Tech giants just showed their true colors after a deadly terrorist attack.
A radical leftist used cutting-edge technology to hunt down federal agents like animals.
And Apple and Google put ICE agents in danger after this bad decision.
FBI reveals how Dallas shooter used smartphone technology to hunt ICE agents
FBI Director Kash Patel dropped a bombshell that exposed just how far the radical Left will go to target law enforcement.
Wednesday’s sniper attack at a Dallas ICE facility wasn’t some random act of violence – it was a carefully planned terrorist operation using smartphone technology.
The gunman, 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, used apps specifically designed to track the movements of ICE agents before carrying out his deadly ambush that killed one ICE detainee and seriously wounded two others.¹
Patel’s chilling social media post revealed that from August 19-24, Jahn "searched apps that tracked the presence of ICE agents" and downloaded a document titled "Dallas County Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Management" which contained a list of DHS facilities.²
FBI officials confirmed the gunman exploited these tracking applications to carry out his attack.
The terrorist’s handwritten manifesto made his intentions crystal clear: "Hopefully this will give ICE agents real terror, to think, ‘is there a sniper with AP rounds on that roof?"³
This wasn’t about immigration policy – this was about creating terror and hunting down American law enforcement officers.
Tech giants make devastating choice when confronted about deadly apps
Here’s where things get really disgusting.
The Federalist reached out to both Apple and Google with what should have been the easiest question in corporate PR history: Will you remove apps that help terrorists track and kill law enforcement officers?
Any decent company would immediately respond with something like: "Absolutely, we’re removing them right now and investigating how they were approved in the first place."
Both companies completely ignored the question about removing these dangerous applications.⁴
Their silence speaks volumes about where their priorities really lie.
These are the same companies that will ban conservative voices for "violating community standards," but they won’t remove apps that literally help terrorists hunt law enforcement officers.
CNN promoted the same deadly technology months earlier
The rot goes even deeper than corporate cowardice.
CNN actually promoted one of these ICE-tracking apps back in June, giving a platform to its creator and featuring his statement: "I wanted to do something to fight back" – targeting ICE agents who were removing criminal illegal aliens.⁵
The propaganda network presented this terrorist-enabling technology as some kind of heroic resistance movement.
CNN’s featured app was specifically designed to be untraceable, preventing law enforcement from investigating who was using it to stalk federal agents.
How convenient for would-be terrorists.
The media wants ICE agents to live in fear while protecting the very technology that makes them sitting ducks.
The priorities are completely backwards
Look at how backwards our priorities have become.
Virginia and Washington, D.C. have outlawed radar detectors that help drivers avoid speeding tickets.⁶
But apps that help criminals escape arrest – or worse, help killers hunt and murder federal agents – remain easily downloadable on every smartphone in America.
Speeding is apparently more dangerous than enabling terrorism in the minds of our tech overlords.
This isn’t about civil liberties or protecting immigrants – this is about creating the infrastructure for political violence against law enforcement.
Every day these apps remain available, more ICE agents are walking around with targets on their backs.
The terrorist who carried out Wednesday’s attack is dead, but the technology he used to hunt federal agents is still being actively promoted and distributed by Apple and Google.
That’s not an oversight – that’s a choice.
And it tells you everything you need to know about which side these tech companies are really on when push comes to shove.
The time for corporate responsibility was before a terrorist used their platforms to kill American law enforcement officers.
Now they’re just accessories after the fact.
