Enforcement of the laws to serve the national interest

....D. Establishing the Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE) Office Criminal aliens routinely victimize Americans and other legal residents. Often, these victims are not provided adequate information about the offender, the offender' s immigration status, or any enforcement action taken by ICE against the offender. Efforts by ICE to engage these victims have been hampered by prior Department of Homeland Security (DHS) policy extending certain Privacy Act protections to persons other than U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents, leaving victims feeling marginalized and without a voice. Accordingly, I am establishing the Victims ofImmigration Crime Engagement (VOICE) Office within the Office of the Director of ICE, which will create a programmatic liaison between ICE and the known victims ofcrimes committed by removable aliens. The liaison will facilitate engagement with the victims and their families to ensure, to the extent permitted by law, that they are provided information about the offender, including the offender's immigration status and custody status, and that their questions and concerns regarding immigration enforcement efforts are addressed. To that end, I direct the Director oflCE to immediately reallocate any and all resources that are currently used to advocate on behalf of illegal aliens to the new VOICE Office, and to immediately terminate the provision of such outreach or advocacy services to illegal aliens.

” immediately reallocate any and all resources that are currently used to advocate on behalf of illegal aliens to the new VOICE Office, and to immediately terminate the provision of such outreach or advocacy services to illegal aliens.”

Isn’t it amazing that such a SENSIBLE and RIGHTEOUS construction of law has to be implemented to CHANGE the CRAP that has been going on for so long?

There is sooooo much more, put in place in the past few years, that needs to be fixed.

With actions like this, we are off to a very good start.

#MAGA

DACA must be ended.
Every day that goes by another 150 new illegal aliens are given work permits and permission to stay.
If Trump does not end Obama’s illegal DACA program, it becomes Trump’s illegal DACA program.
