I have no idea how you got there but if you brought a case with a team of lawyers to get the apps re-instated based on the 1st amendment, I'd be happy about it. It would be interesting precedent too.

However, my point is nothing about that. What should Apple do while following laws and being accused of hosting apps that endanger law enforcement?

Ask for a warrant. Same way they did to the FBI years ago.
