Thats what I thought too. The reality is still fucked up, but I don’t feel one iota of bad for people getting scammed for using an app to snitch to ICE.
Comment on This ICE-snitching app is actually promoting a meme coin

Coffee didn’t hit my brain before reading the headline; I thought this was an app to report ICE sightings lol
(Maybe someone on F-droid could get on that?)

Or better yet, make a fake app for the Play Store where all the reports go to /dev/null.

Take real reports and replace it with randomly generated people to flood the ICE systems with false reports.

I would actually be ok with ai generated photos being used for this

Lmao this is the type of creativity the world needs. Shame about the circumstances requiring it, however

Seconded! I read and thought the same things, something like that would be huge right now. Hell of a time crunch and hostile work environment, but it could save a lot of lives.

We’ve got a hotline in Colorado! (844) 864-8341 They verify reports and share info with the community, and dispatch volunteer legal observers and immigration attorneys. Not sure if orgs in any other states have stood up something similar.

Does anyone know if Arizona has a hotline for this?

It looks like Puente Arizona and the Phoenix Legal Action Network have one, but it might just be in the Phoenix area. 480-506-7437, more info here. Image
