Launch of the "VOICE" office comes after White House releases list of criminal immigrants riddled with inaccuracies
Following President Trump’s executive order in January, the Department of Homeland Security rolled out a new office to help protect the victims of crime from illegal immigrants on Wednesday. In the latest of Trump’s methods to continue to crackdown on illegal immigration in the U.S., the White House also launched a new hotline in which victims or witnesses could easily report criminal incidents. But organized online under the #AlienDay hashtag, immigrants’ rights activists claimed to have quickly overwhelmed Trump’s hotline with complaints of crimes committed by space aliens.
..........................................
The White House’s newly launched hotline in which victims or witnesses could easily report criminal incidents has a mission statement that reads, “With honor and integrity, we will support victims of crimes committed by criminal aliens through access to information and resources.”
But critics like Common Defense Executive Director Pam Campos argue that Trump’s new initiative is incredibly dangerous.
“This office is a depraved and dangerous propaganda vehicle that exploits tragedy to fuel hate and division,” Campos said in a statement. “Our commitment of service has no room for tolerating a xenophobic registry, which serves no purpose in helping victims of crime, and only exists to provide fodder for racism.”
