The app's home page includes a tile with information about Trump's policy priorities, and another on his achievements in office. Both direct viewers toward links to existing pages on the official White House website.
At the bottom of the "Social" tab is a button allowing users to submit tips to ICE. The button links to ICE's Tip Form on its official site.
