[liberationtech] Mobile App for ICE Checkpoints?

From: Dan Sisken An idea based on this week's news about increasingly aggressive ICE actions targeting immigrant communities. Does anyone know of any examples of a mobile, crowd-sourced app that could be used to pinpoint ICE checkpoints. Such an app
