US closes Trump-era office for victims of immigrant crime

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The Biden administration said Friday it has dismantled a Trump-era government office to help victims of crimes committed by immigrants, a move that symbolizes President Joe Biden’s rejection of former President Donald Trump’s repeated efforts to link immigrants to crime.

Trump created the Victim Of Immigration Crime Engagement Office, known by its acronym VOICE, by executive order during his first week in office in January 2017.

VOICE will be replaced by The Victims Engagement and Services Line, which will combine longstanding existing services, such as methods for people to report abuse and mistreatment in immigration detention centers and a notification system for lawyers and others with a vested interest in immigration cases.

Stephen Miller, a key architect of Trump’s immigration policies, called the decision to close VOICE a “moral stain on the conscience of our nation.”

He likened the new office to the Drug Enforcement Administration opening “a call center to help drug dealers get lawyers and amnesty for their crimes.”

The Department of Homeland Security “is a law enforcement agency, not a legal help center for criminals and lawbreakers,” Miller said.

The change of tone regarding immigration has been striking between the two administrations.

When the government cares more about fraudulently documented foreigners than the citizens, it is time for the citizens to get new government.

Propaganda press outdid itself with this biased article. Another instance of Trump being America first. Biden being America last and not just last but under attack for its evil ways.

Bad decison. Maybe a group of conservative lawyers will organize some organization that does similar work.
Shows you just how little Biden’s group value the lives of every American.

Because if you don’t acknowledge it, it never happened. Standard collectivist policy.

It is being placed by a hotline to report “abuse and mistreatment in immigration detention.”

Should we report Biden/Kamala for “putting babies in cages”?

“President Joe Biden’s rejection of former President Donald Trump’s repeated efforts to link immigrants to crime.”

Thanks for the propaganda AP. The link to crime is factual.

Yeah, because Biden doesn’t care if you are an American, he only cares about illegals. Now if you have a little vid one killed by an illegal it’s just tough, suck it up.

Would it be too bad of me to hope Elliot Spagat finds out why that office was important?

Dems’ way. “Let’s keep all of this immigrant crime our little secret.”

Let’s hope the victims’ families talk loudly about.
If loudmouths with bullhorns from BLM can do it, why can’t good people, too?

I haven’t heard boo from this group, so where’s the loss? Probably just another corrupted government entity.
