The House Committee on Homeland Security urged Google and Apple to remove apps that let people track federal immigration agents after a rise in violence against law enforcement across the nation.

Committee Chairman Andrew R. Garbarino (R-N.Y.) and Accountability Chairman Josh Brecheen (R-Okla.) sent letters on Dec. 5 to Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Apple head Tim Cook, voicing concerns about the officer-tracking technology.
