Long Island ICE tracker says this service isn't going anywhere

A Long Island organization that runs an app helping locals report and track Immigration and Customs Enforcement sightings tells WNYC it isn't going anywhere.

The organization Islip Forward runs one of many apps that give people information about ICE's whereabouts — which the Trump Administration says "put ICE agents at risk just for doing their jobs."

Ahmad Perez founded Islip Forward. He joined WNYC's Michael Hill to talk about the work his organization does and what comes next. 

When asked about the app, Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said, “ICE tracking apps put the lives of the men and women of law enforcement in danger as they go after terrorists, vicious gangs and violent criminal rings. But, of course, the media spins this correct decision for Apple to remove these apps as them caving to pressure instead of preventing further bloodshed and stopping law enforcement from getting killed.”
