  Secret police would probably have an interest in lists of people downloading an app tracking their movements no? Particularly if it was downloaded to a mobile tracking device they carry with themselves at most times.

      if they can track those who are against them, it’s easier to eliminate dissidents

      Using the app becomes obstruction or terrorism. People who do that will also get sent to camps.

      It seems far fetched but it’s really not. After all, nobody would step to stop either of those things from happening.

  They could argue that attempting to track ICE is illegal, and all those using the app are to be arrested and tried for their crimes.

      That expression LOL
      Obstruction of whatever cops do, OK.
      But usually it has nothing to do with justice.

  Maybe they’re looking for pretense for more authoritarian action on digital services/internet. We already have a bill in process that opens the door for government censorship of the internet right? They could be priming the public to be ok with them stepping in to shut apps/sites down.
