(DCNF)—The Trump administration is relaunching a key office that serves victims of immigrant crime, highlighting its commitment to combating border-related issues and its consequences.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is relaunching the Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE) Office, according to a press release shared exclusively with the Daily Caller News Foundation. VOICE, which was shuttered just months after President Joe Biden entered office in 2021, offers key support services to victims of immigrant crime and their family members.
“I met with Angel Families who lost a loved one because of an illegal alien who should never have been in our country,” Noem said in a prepared statement. “The previous administration ignored these families and the other victims of illegal alien crime.”
“With the re-launching of the VOICE Office, we are giving victims and their families access to resources and support services,” Noem continued.
The VOICE Office will serve to help victims of migrant crime understand the immigration enforcement and removal process, provide assistance in signing up for automated custody status information on criminal migrants in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody and provide additional history on illegal migrants to families, according to DHS.
The office will also instruct where a victim may be able to provide a victim impact statement, and provide access to social service professionals and other contacts to help victims connect with other needed resources.
VOICE was first launched in 2017 during the first Trump administration, serving as a resource for those who had been victimized by illegal migrants and other foreign nationals. However, the Biden administration — as part of its effort to completely gut the immigration enforcement apparatus built by the Trump White House — nixed the office in June 2021.
Following Biden’s decision to shutter the VOICE office and oversee an unprecedented illegal immigration crisis, a number of high-profile crimes were allegedly committed by illegal migrants under his watch.
Laken Riley, a 22-year-old Georgia nursing student, was murdered in February 2024 by Venezuelan illegal migrant Jose Ibarra, prompting state and federal lawmakers to pass legislation tightening immigration enforcement. Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old Texas girl, was found dumped in a north Houston creek in June 2024, with Venezuelan illegal migrants Franklin Joe Pena Ramos and Johan Jose Martinez Rangel accused of sexually abusing and killing her.
Jocelyn’s mother, Alexis Nungaray, will be one of several angel parents in attendance Wednesday for Noem’s relaunch of the VOICE Office, the DCNF has learned. Since her daughter’s brutal killing, Nungaray has served as an advocate for tougher immigration laws and has appeared alongside President Donald Trump in a number of press events.
Other angel moms to attend Wednesday will be Sabine Durden-Coulter, the mother of a California sheriff’s dispatcher who was killed in 2012 when his motorcycle was hit by an illegal migrant who reportedly had a history of DUIs, and Tammy Nobles, the mother of a 20-year-old who was raped and strangled to death in her home in July 2022 by an illegal migrant teen, and other angel parents.
Also in attendance will be Amanda Kiefer, a woman victimized by an illegal migrant who was kept out of prison because of a left-wing initiative launched by then-San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris. Kiefer was left with a fractured skull in 2008 when Alexander Izaguirre, an illegal migrant from Honduras, snatched her purse and hopped into a car that then attempted to run her over.
Kiefer said the incident changed her perspective on politics and she has since become a vocal Trump supporter.
“President Trump and I will continue to remove criminal illegal aliens from our streets and make America safe again,” Noem said.

Three Reasons a Coffee Gift Set From This Christian Company Is Perfect for Christmas
When you’re searching for a Christmas gift that’s meaningful, useful, and rooted in faith, you don’t want to settle for anything generic. This season is filled with noise — mass-produced products, last-minute picks, and trends that fade as quickly as they appear. But one gift stands apart because it blends genuine quality with a message that matters: a coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee.
This small Christian-owned company has become a favorite among believers who want to support faith-driven businesses while giving friends and family something they’ll actually enjoy. Here are three reasons a Promised Grounds Coffee gift set may be the most thoughtful and impactful present you give this year.
1. It’s Truly Delicious Coffee
Too many “gift-worthy” coffees look beautiful in the package but disappoint when the cup is poured. Promised Grounds takes the opposite approach — exceptional taste first, thoughtful presentation second.
Their beans are sourced with care, roasted in small batches, and crafted to bring out a rich, smooth flavor profile that appeals to both casual drinkers and true coffee lovers. Whether someone enjoys bold, dark roasts or lighter, more delicate blends, every sip reflects quality that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the biggest specialty brands.
Simply put: this coffee is good. Really good. Some say it’s absolutely fantastic. If you want a gift that won’t be re-gifted, ignored, or shoved in a cabinet, this is it.
2. It Spreads the Word While Serving a Real Purpose
There are many Christian gifts that are meaningful… but not exactly practical. There are also useful gifts that have nothing to do with faith. Promised Grounds Coffee bridges both worlds beautifully.
Each gift set delivers an encouraging, faith-centered message through its packaging and presentation — a simple but powerful reminder of God’s goodness during the Christmas season. The cups are especially popular and serve as a daily reminder of the blessings from our Lord. At the same time, the product itself is something people will actually use and appreciate every single day.
It’s a gift that uplifts the spirit and fills the mug. A gift that points loved ones toward Scripture while still being part of the normal rhythm of life. And in a culture that increasingly pushes faith to the margins, giving a gift that quietly but confidently honors Christ can make a deeper impact than you might expect.
3. It’s Affordable, Valuable, and Elegantly Presented
Many people want to give something meaningful without breaking their Christmas budget. Promised Grounds Coffee strikes that perfect balance — the sets look and feel premium, but the price remains accessible.
The packaging is classy, clean, and gift-ready, making it ideal for:
- Family members of all ages
- Co-workers or employees
- Church friends or small-group leaders
- Hosts, neighbors, and last-minute gift needs
It’s the kind of gift that feels more expensive than it is — and more thoughtful than most of what you’ll find on store shelves.
The Perfect Blend of Faith, Flavor, and Christmas Cheer
A coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee checks every box: a gift that tastes amazing, conveys your faith, supports a Christian business, and brings daily enjoyment to the person who receives it. In a season when so many gifts are forgotten, this one stands out for all the right reasons.
If you want a Christmas present that reflects your values and delivers genuine joy, Promised Grounds Coffee is the perfect place to start.
