The Trump administration is reinstating the Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE) Office, which was previously shut down by the Biden administration in 2021. The office was originally created to support victims of crimes committed by undocumented immigrants and to highlight the impact of illegal immigration.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is leading the relaunch, emphasizing support for so-called 'angel families'—those who have lost loved ones to crimes committed by undocumented immigrants. Critics argue the office unfairly stigmatizes immigrants, while supporters say it provides necessary resources and recognition for victims.
The move signals a renewed focus on immigration enforcement as a key issue in the 2024 election cycle.
