Bill > HR3362

This bill proposes two main changes to existing law: first, it expands victim compensation grant programs to include "angel families," which are defined as immediate family members of individuals killed by undocumented immigrants or members of international criminal organizations involved in drug trafficking. Under the new provisions, these families would be eligible for financial support covering medical expenses, mental health counseling, loss of wages due to emotional distress, and funeral expenses. Second, the bill establishes a new Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement Office within the Department of Homeland Security, which would create a dedicated hotline and support services for victims of crimes committed by undocumented immigrants. The office would provide resources such as immigration enforcement information, support service referrals, and criminal history details about the offenders. Additionally, the office would be required to submit an annual report to Congress detailing the demographics, locations, and types of crimes committed by undocumented immigrants, with the broader goal of highlighting and addressing crime committed by individuals who are unlawfully present in the United States.
