The way I'm reading your story is that Apple should not 'appease' the President or the DOJ for being forced to remove an app that clearly puts ICE agents in danger. Tim Cook should stop worrying about which apps are actually a danger to society and be happy with the trillions of dollars he has. And it sure looks like if you read in between the lines Phone Arena is in favor of keeping the app. Maybe you go put on an ICE agent uniform and hit the streets, maybe you change your tune when you're ambushed

Where does t say that? I simply am stating that Tim Cook knows how to get the president to do whatever is in Apple's best interest. I am not in favor of keeping the app because it puts LEO in danger. No one person should ever have their life in danger because of an app. The administration made the right call as did those at Apple that decided to remove the app.

So you think ICE, which carries guns have a risk to their safety? How aboit oir safety when these lunatics run around in masks where you csnt see who they are. They aren't Batman. Cops dont wear masks, so why are they?


Would you want someone putting your life in danger impersonating an ICE officer and then he takes you somewhere and kills you?


As far as I am concerned, since it is my tax dollars that pays their salary, my safety since I don't have or own a gun is my priority.

If someone feels their life is at risk, how about you don't sign up for law enforcement. Or how about you dont wear a mask looking like a vigilante.


Their lives aren't at risk. How many ICE agents have been killed? Zero. Their life isnt any more at risk vs any other cop on the street. Yet local police don't wear masks, do they?


Their lives arent at risk. It's just total BS. And becauze Tim Cook is a Trump suckup giving home fancy gifts so Apple wouldn't have to pay tariffs, Trump has them paying them anyways, so all that arse kissing he did was foe nothing

They should. Unpopular opinion.

Really? Do you drive? Do you always drive the posted speed limit. Because if you don't, wouldn't you want a heads up so you don't get pulled over?

You’re so enamored at hating anything Apple, that you can’t see the forest behind the trees.


imagine you’re working to catch shoplifters and there’s an app that shows exactly where you’d be so people that try to steal from your store avoid you and go to another section of the store to steal. Making your job impossible to do.


whether you agree or disagree with what the ICE is doing, majority of people voted for this to be cleaned up and put under control.


I have been writing letters for many workers including Latino and Ukrainian that came to us illegally but are Good people, good hard workers, that I dealt with many times. They deserve to stay. I’ve also in communication with “self-deported” couple that did stucco on my house, they have been given money, to go back and now in the process of coming back legally. Let ICE do its thing efficiently so we can start the healing processs and get these people back, vetted, processed, and this time not have to hide from authorities.


yes, it’s gonna hurt at first, but a lot of these people are welcomed back. But it can’t be stopped if others feel that they will be able to stay - they must see that everyone, EVERYONE, gets caught and deported. We first stop the bleeding, get rid of infection, and allow proper immigration take full helm.


please understand that no other solution worked. And apps like this, only slows down the process and makes it unnecessarily hard.

It isnt an Apple thing. I dpmt support ICE. Because of you have seen the news, even if people are here illegally, the Constitution says they are legally syppose to get due process. ICE os tackling people and throwing people to the ground. I watch them throw a 70 year old man to the ground and arrested him and he is a US Citizen. Now he is using them foe his serious injuries.

Trump hates people like Cook and so do the Republicans in office. Like people of color they too are being mistreated by this administration.

You think I wanna support that? I boycotted Target, Wal-Mart and other who have dropped their DEI programs because they are afraid of the criminal thing in office.

I don't hate Apple, I just don't like their hypocrisy and no corp should be ducking up to Trump. None of them.

I dont know how old you are, but im 56. Apple was the 1st computer company I was a fan of for many years. However they continue to steal others ideas and tech, and charge high prices for minute changes all in the name of greed. And yes all OEM's do it, but you dont see them using each other like Apple does.

Also, my wife is from another country. We went through the legal process. Even after 10 years we are still waiting. She is afraid to go to her next interview, because people here legally going through the process are also being arrested an detained. When you are going through the process, you have a legal temporary status. Trump is taking away their legal temporary status a d deporting people are are here legally.

So frankly I dont care what you think about what I think of Apple. They are a greedy shytty OEM, who consistently screw their customers while they rake in billions.

Apple is a private company. They dont have to do anything Trimp wants. Trump is a 34 country convicted felon who shouldn't even be holding a public office to begin with and these rich Leo's all keep suckling up to him

Until you go through the immigration process like me and my wife had too, dont tall about it because you domt know.

There are millions of people here who came here legally, who credentials have expired, due to the legal process taking way to long. Because it took so long, my wife credentials have expired and now she has to return home, breaking up my family.

So Trump can kiss my arse and so can Apple and anyone else who wants too.

People want to know where ICE is becauze they are acting like criminals. Wearing masks, throwing people to the ground and injuring them, even people who are being peaceful. I watched a female who only shouted at a ICE office because they were arresting her husband who was at immigration for his interview. He has legal status and they are arresting him and she shouted at the officer and he grabbed her and threw her to the ground.

So tough from behind your keyboard. Talking reckless like that, you’re gonna have to deal with the consequences someday. Remember, Karma’s not a bittch, she’s a mirror….

Donald Trump should be in jail. If any other citizen did just one of his crimes, like stealing government properly and lying and claiming they didn't have it and then they get a legal search warrant and come to yoir house and find it, we would go to jail. Right? Yes or no. If you dont want to answer honestly when we have nothing to talk about. Didn't say anything aboit him or anyone else who acts loke a criminal. These ICE agents aren't acting loke professional law enforcement, they acting like a bunch of uneducated bullies. You think im gonna get Karma? Really?


How about DJT pardoned and released over 1000 people who broke into the Capitol and also killed Federal Police? Bit you think im gonna get karma. From what? Because I speak truth?

Bruh. You're obviously not keeping up with current events. This app LITERALLY got illegal immigrants killed.

This app did immigrants killed. Trump got them killed. They was alive and doing fine.

Also, being illegal in the US isn't a crime, it is a civil penalty like a traffic ticket. He said he was going after criminal immigrants and yet 70% of those arrest have no criminal record. Those are facts. Look up the facts.


And the way i see these ICE agents hurting people, you think im gonna feel bad if it happens to them? You know how many cops have illegally killed people and gotten away with it? You think im gonna feel bad for them?

You have a choice. You do tbjsve to choose a job where yoir life is im danger. But if you do work the job, do it in a professional way and people will be more trusting and cooperative. But most cops act like a bunch of bullies. So I dont care what happens to a bully.

Here is a fact, you cant walk into a police station and point at any random cop and say that person is a good cop. That is a sad thing.

Clearly you don't watch the news....Dallas? And I'm not a f...... illegal so I'm not too worried about them and me...they have families who don't carry weapons you doof. Try to have a little more knowledge before you go commenting on things. And also....I'm very proud to say that MY tax dollars pay their salaries instead of food stamps and Medicaid for illegals. It's not all black and white.....see the bigger picture....it's about their families!

Lmao you speak truth?!?!?!?! My GAWD homeboy, you’ve got to be the dumbest liberal yet!! 🤣

First of all, no Jan 6ers “broke into the Capitol.” There were a bunch of people who were actually INVITED inside the Capitol. Second, there were ZERO Federal Police killed on Jan 6. Again, you’re doing what libs do best, GASLIGHT and LIE!! What an absolute CLOWN you are!! Do me a favor though, keep posting dumb s**t! It’s pretty much comedy hour when I get to view your posts! 🤣🤣

Your not helping anyone, I personally believe it would be of everyone's interest that you stay out of polirical drama. I am not trying to be rude but anything you say can be used to show that tou support a certain party. It's best to stay quiet in these situations. 👍
