Apps like Waze are being used to covertly warn immigrants about ICE activity: "Icy roads" "The street finds its own uses for things." — @greatdismal.bsky.social

A little optimistic, if someone really thinks a phone is a great tool to not be found...

Yes, but don't use that Catholic church confession app for any reason.

You should probably stop spreading this on social media, honestly. Exercise your right to STFU about it

It was published in a spanish newspaper and linked from a major blog. I don't think bluesky is letting the secret out

Regardless proliferation of knowledge does make things less effective. Next thing you know because of the info getting out the feds will be onto them.

Word of mouth and non-public channels could be better to let those who need this know.

I'm sorry, but this is wrong. If you already relying a private word of mouth network, there's no need to post it to Waze. The entire point of using a public tool like this is so the public can use it and contribute to it. It's like standing on a street corner yelling a warning.

A tactic no one knows about is completely useless, and no one tactic remains effective forever. This needs to be a popular movement. Avoid hipster secrecy. Keep adjusting. Try to move faster than the feds can.
