The app was never really fit for purpose; not that Apple should have pulled it…:
“Unfortunately, the ICEBlock app is activism theater”
Fuck the apps anyway, there's a website that already does this just fine.
ICE Activity Tracker - Community Safety Alert System https://share.google/pEDuCDdZFEhAmxvLN
Edit - I'm sorry for the link, I was occupied. My intentions were good but the commenters below were gooder.
- what? why is this a google link lmao

  Because I was making gravy and I'm a hypocrite.
  
  Pretty sure Android gives shortened Google links if you share from the search quick results as opposed to fully loading the browser to share the link.
I get the outrage, I really do, but the app broke many privacy rights and also the app did technically break ToS by definition being a “doxxing” app.
Regardless, there are websites out there that do it far better than the app, and have universal access Apple and Android devices.
