The Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE) Office was a U.S. government agency established within the Department of Homeland Security under the Trump administration in February 2017. President Donald Trump directed it be established by Executive Order 13768. The office was dissolved by the Biden administration on June 11, 2021, replaced by the Victims Engagement and Services Line (VESL).
The office's mission was to "provide proactive, timely, adequate, and professional services to victims of crimes committed by removable aliens". The office's purpose was to act as a liaison between U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the victims and their families to ensure they would be provided information about the offender, including the offender's immigration and custody status so that their questions and concerns regarding immigration enforcement efforts would be addressed.
The VOICE office was to issue quarterly reports studying the effects of the victimization by criminal aliens present in the United States. Only one report, in June 2018, was issued through the agency's existence.
