Pam Bondi’s Justice Department has fired the wife of the man who developed a controversial “anti-ICE” warning system after far-right influencer Laura Loomer attacked her on X, the Daily Beast can disclose.

Carolyn Feinstein, who is married to ICEBlock developer Joshua Aaron, had served as a forensic accountant at the DOJ’s Office of the U.S. Trustee for almost a decade. On Friday she received an email from the department 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.

“When I saw what was happening in this country, I wanted to do something to fight back,” Aaron told the network, comparing the Trump administration’s nationwide immigration crackdown to purges carried out by the Nazi regime in Germany. “We’re literally watching history repeat itself.”

With almost a million downloads at last count, ICEBlock provides users with an “early warning system” when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have been spotted within a five-mile radius of their location, allowing targets of immigration raids to avoid confrontation with the authorities.
