So what about "ICEBlock is an app that people being in the US illegally use to evade capture"?

  much better but the app is protected by free speech so using it isn't illegal "ICEBlock is a free speech protected app that illegal immigrants in the US use to evade capture" would be more precise and still objective would explain why the government used questionable (and actual illegal) roundabout ways to "punish" the creator instead of normal legal actions there is no problem with saying illegal immigrants are illegal immigrants, the problem is with removing the human factor, by calling them aliens, or by pretending all are supper criminal gang members etc. that ICE also goes after people with legal status is another problem and the argument of "it's aliens because they are foreigner non residents" also falls apart because many illegal immigrants have become residents. Not citizens, and not always with legal status. But they are 1) civilians 2) long term residing in the US so residents anyway. What ICE does here beside hypocritically pretending alien doesn't has de-humanizing connotations is expanding the term from "foreigners trying to illegally enter the US" to people living in the US for years and often are also in the process to try to get legal status even through they entered illegally. anyway illigal immigrants are still illegally so no need to reduce it to just people
