Exhibit 1130 · Court filing (complaint)

Amended Complaint, Aaron v. Bondi, No. 1:25-cv-04250-DLF (D.D.C.), Doc. 22

We reached out to Apple today demanding they remove the ICEBlock app from their App Store — and Apple did so.

Allegations by the maker of the ICEBlock app that in October 2025 the Attorney General and other officials coerced Apple into removing it. It quotes the Attorney General's statements (2 October 2025 on Fox News, 7 October 2025 before the Senate Judiciary Committee, 8 October 2025 in a speech) and Apple's public statement of 2 October 2025 that, 'Based on information we've received from law enforcement about the safety risks associated with ICEBlock, we have removed it and similar apps'. These are plaintiffs' allegations, not findings. The defendants moved to dismiss; as of a notice filed 21 August 2026 (Doc. 30) that motion was pending.
