U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) established the Victims Of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE) Office to acknowledge and serve the needs of crime victims and their families who have been affected by crimes committed by individuals with a nexus to immigration.
This office was explicitly called for in the President’s Executive Order titled, “Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the United States,” dated January 25, 2017.
***ICE may not be able to provide information regarding certain offenders to victims of a crime with a nexus to immigration due to the information being protected by policy or law. ***
Mission Statement:
With honor and integrity, we will support victims of crimes committed by criminal aliens through access to information and resources.
Objectives:
Use a victim-centered approach to acknowledge and support immigration crime victims and their families.
Promote awareness of rights and services available to immigration crime victims.
Build collaborative partnerships with community stakeholders assisting immigration crime victims.
Provide quarterly reports studying the effects of the victimization by criminal aliens present in the United States.

Love.
It’s a sad testament to the state of affairs that, upon reading the headline, I immediately assumed it was legislation designed to protect illegal immigrants who believed themselves mistreated.
I’d have made the name Victims of Immigration Criminal Events. To me “Engagement” sounds too nice
