Those boots must taste good, huh Locoboy?

ICE Barbie wants to "prosecute CNN" because they dared to promote an app that alerts people of ICE-IS activity within their area.

This is no different than apps like Waze that provides alerts for speed traps, red light cameras, and police presence in a given area.

It's legal and protected under the 1st amendment. Freedom of speech, freedom of the press, even freedom of assembly (in this case, the assembly is virtual).

But hey, thanks for the post, Locoboy! Nothing like the Streisand effect to spread awareness of the app, right?

My opinion is that CNN has not violated any criminal statutes or government regulations. The First Amendment protects its reporting on this.

However, ICEblock's developers and distributors may face legal consequences if the DoJ determines it obstructed law enforcement efforts or directly led to assaults on police officers.
