Bondi Takes Revenge on Family of Man Who Created Anti-ICE App [View all]

The Justice Department has fired the wife of the man who developed a controversial “anti-ICE” warning system after far-right influencer Laura Loomer went after her on X.

Carolyn Feinstein, who is married to ICEBlock developer Joshua Aaron and has served as a forensic accountant at the DOJ’s Office of the U.S. Trustee for almost a decade, received an email from the department on Friday informing her that her position would be terminated.

“This was retribution. I was fired because of the actions, or activism, of my husband,” Feinstein told the Daily Beast Monday. “It is insulting to me because I dedicated myself and my career to serving the people of the United States, and now the DOJ is claiming I was attempting to harm some of them. And that’s not true.”

Feinstein, who specializes in bankruptcy fraud, says she was “targeted” because of her husband’s work. Aaron found himself on the receiving end of MAGA’s fury after giving an interview to CNN late last month in which he explained how his app works and why he had developed it.
