Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen step out in coordinated black looks for New York stroll Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen made a rare joint appearance in New York City, stepping out together for a relaxed afternoon in matching, understated fashion. The 39-year-old twins were seen walking through Midtown Manhattan on April 30, dressed in coordinated black trench coats paired with wide-leg denim. They completed the look with sunglasses, scarves, and structured alligator handbags from their luxury label, The Row, before stopping for lunch during their outing. Long before becoming fashion insiders, the sisters built global recognition as child actors through projects like Full House, It Takes Two, and New York Minute. Over time, they stepped away from Hollywood and fully transitioned into fashion, officially launching The Row in 2005. Mary-Kate now serves as creative director of the brand, while Ashley oversees it as CEO. In earlier interviews, Ashley has described the label’s beginnings as a small ex...

APP TRACKING ICE RAIDS SUES US, CLAIMING OFFICIALS PUSHED APPLE TO TAKE IT DOWN. (PHOTO).

 App tracking ICE raids sues US, claiming officials pushed Apple to take it down

For six months, Apple offered an app called ICEBlock, which allowed users to alert others when they spotted Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. After the Trump administration claimed the app endangered officers, Apple removed it from its store.

On Monday, the app’s creator, Joshua Aaron, filed a lawsuit against top Trump administration officials, alleging they pressured Apple to suppress his free speech and his right to distribute and promote ICEBlock. The suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, claims that Attorney General Pam Bondi misused government authority when the Justice Department contacted Apple and demanded the app’s removal. Bondi had publicly stated in October that Apple had complied with her request.

The case could shed light on how Apple responds to government pressure. While Apple has historically removed apps at the behest of authoritarian governments such as China and Russia, this is one of the first times such a request reportedly came from U.S. officials.

ICEBlock’s removal was part of a broader crackdown on immigration-related apps. Apple also pulled DeICER, which reported ICE activity, while Google removed Red Dot, a similar service. Meta took down the Facebook group ICE Sighting-Chicagoland for violating its policies against coordinated harm.

Representatives for Bondi and the Trump administration did not respond to requests for comment, and Apple declined to comment.

The lawsuit is the latest chapter in a partisan debate over government influence on digital platforms. In 2022, Republican attorneys general sued the Biden administration, claiming it pressured social media companies to suppress content critical of COVID-19 measures and vaccines. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the administration, allowing government communication with platforms about misinformation.

The Trump administration had condemned ICEBlock and similar apps, claiming they obstructed justice and encouraged violence against law enforcement. The Electronic Frontier Foundation previously filed a lawsuit seeking information about any government communications with tech companies that might have pressured them to remove these apps. Aaron’s lawsuit follows that effort.

Aaron criticized Apple’s decision, saying it aligned with the company’s practices abroad but contradicted how it typically responds to U.S. authorities. He cited Apple’s refusal in 2016 to help the FBI unlock a terrorist’s phone after the San Bernardino attack, citing privacy and security concerns.

Aaron hopes the court will rule that the government cannot coerce private companies and that Apple will restore ICEBlock to its platform. He said the case highlights the importance of standing up when the government oversteps its authority.
