You just counter this with a FIRE app that users can pin point locations of illegals, just have 'em both and may the best team win.

ICEBlock App Developer Sues Trump Officials, Claims Apple Was Pressured to Remove App

Apple has already addressed that. It violated 1.1.1, because the app was focused on a "targeted group," and "is likely to humiliate, intimidate, or harm a targeted individual or group."
Now that we've cleared that up, let's get back to the original questions. Your point is begging the question (you stated the action is "unconstitutional" because the government asked, and you state that asking "unconstitutional"). What led you to the conclusion that the government asking a company to enforce the company's own policies is "unconstitutional"? Does your determination extend to the government asking companies to enforce the company's policies on safety, theft, discrimination, etc.?
I was under the impression that folks were using the App to avoid ICE, not humiliate, intimidate, or harm them.
"ICEBlock is an innovative, completely anonymous, crowdsourced platform that allows users to report Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity with just two taps on their phone. In recent years, ICE has faced criticism for alleged civil rights abuses and failures to adhere to constitutional principles and due process, making it crucial for communities to stay informed about its operations.
ICEBlock empowers communities to stay informed about ICE presence within a 5-mile radius while maintaining their anonymity through real-time updates and automatic deletion of sightings after four hours. "
Unless you're Native American, you're an immigrant too, just like everyone else in the good ol' USA whose efforts made us the envy of the world (until recently) politically, socially, educationally, scientifically, medically, and more.
Trump doesn't seem to have any problem with fraud, given his own frauds and the unbroken string of fraudsters he's pardoned in both of his terms. All upright citizens, I'm sure.
Warrants aren’t required for arrests. If you’re here illegally, you belong in jail until you’re deported.
There is evidence the app was used to facilitate violence against ICE Agents, such as in Chicago in November.
Not speaking for the other poster, but the government didn't "ask". They, by their own statement, "demanded." After 3 months of the government pressuring Apple through the press to remove the app, the attorney general reached out to Apple, demanded that the app be removed, and it was removed the same day. Bondi: “We reached out to Apple today demanding they remove the ICEBlock app from their App Store – and Apple did so.”
Combined with their repeated tariff threats on Apple, there is certainly the appearance of coercion. In addition, the complaint details clear viewpoint discrimination in Bondi's statements about the app. Meanwhile, other apps that provide similar information about other LEO locations continue to be published on the App Store without issue. Apple Maps even allows reporting of speed traps.

"Run, the gestapo is coming to your location!" would be free speech?
You dont want to be tracked on the internet but you want those that keep peace and civility tracked on an app.
So insane.
Lets show all the world what the military is up to and expose that? I think not!
Give out all oour secrets how about that>?
So they track you and you track them is that how this works?
Is this what people want?
The government knows more about you than you can imagine already.
Cant have it both ways.
Apple on this tried to stay neutral and was a good play.

The 2020 census is not accurate. 14 states had significant errors in population counts.
I didn't ignore fraud. You changed the topic.
Well, you had Trump at the top, but with widespread mutinous behavior within DoJ and FBI, as a continuation of the Russian Collusion fraud that began at Obama's direction in December 2016. The Hunter Biden laptop story was indeed surpressed at FBI's behest, and the censorship and deplatforming continued in earnest through 2021 and 2022.
You'll notice that Trump did not make the mistake of allowing high level career bureaucrats to stay on this time around, and for good reason.

I boggles my mind that people expect us to wait until an authoritarian consolidates their control fully before we start to protest.
Citation needed, because according to my LLM there is *no* evidence of this whatsoever.
You should be appalled that the government is just rounding up law abiding citizens based on racial profiling and making them prove their innocence. If you aren't, then you are an enemy of the principles upon which this country was founded.
Except for the occasional highly-reported mistake, they aren't.
‘In response to the nationwide protests following the death of George Floyd, Trump felt that the demonstrations made him look “weak” and asked Defense Secretary Mark Esper, “Can’t you just shoot them?”’ [source] [alternate source]
Ah yes, the famously super liberal FBI who literally has never had a Democrat run it.
And, hate to break it to you, but Russian collusion happened. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee investigation released their report in five volumes between July 2019 and August 2020. The committee concluded that the intelligence community assessment alleging Russian interference was "coherent and well-constructed", and that the assessment was "proper", learning from analysts that there was "no politically motivated pressure to reach specific conclusions". The report found that the Russian government had engaged in an "extensive campaign" to sabotage the election in favor of Trump, which included assistance from some of Trump's own advisers.
Yes, he learned having people investigate your lawlessness and unbelievable amount of corruption makes it harder to continue to break the laws you want to break and profit off the Presidency. Good reason for him (a convicted felon), but not the country.
Here you go:
Esper: Trump asked about shooting protesters ‘in the legs or something’ after George Floyd death
Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper says that former President Trump asked authorities if they could shoot protesters in the legs amid the demonstrations that filled the streets of Washington follo…

Lol of course, nothing that contradicts your preferred worldview could possibly be accurate.
Question—who oversaw the 2020 census?
To disperse crowds near the White House--you know, like the ones who set fire to the church across Lafayette Square from the White House.
"Peaceful protests" these were not. Context matters.
There have been at least 170 such detentions, and probably more; they include *children*, including two with cancer.
More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

The weekend at Bernie's president Biden! It was done during the COVID 19 pandemic as well.
