AI Summary
This bill, the Victims Of Immigration Crime Engagement Restoration Act (VOICE Restoration Act), aims to reestablish the Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement Office (VOICE) within the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. VOICE was previously created in 2017 to provide assistance to victims of crimes committed by immigrants without lawful status in the United States, but was terminated in 2021. The bill directs VOICE to take a victim-centered approach, promote awareness of available services, and build partnerships with community organizations to support these victims and their families. VOICE will provide assistance through a dedicated hotline, local contacts, social service referrals, custody status updates, and information about the criminal and immigration history of the offenders.
