Following pressure from the Trump administration, Apple on Thursday removed several apps from the App Store that allow users to issue alerts and report sightings of immigration agents.

The most prominent app, ICEBlock, allows people to anonymously share and report the locations of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents within a five-mile radius. App creator Joshua Aaron received an email from Apple, in which the company said the app was “objectionable.”

“Information provided to Apple by law enforcement shows that your app violates the app store guidelines because its purpose is to provide location information about law enforcement officers that can be used to harm such officers individually or as a group,” the email stated, according to CNN.
