## Summary

**Expands federal victim compensation to "angel families" who lose a loved one to certain noncitizen killers.** It would also create a Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement Office at DHS to help and track crimes involving those noncitizens. - Angel families would become eligible for Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) compensation for mental health care, wages lost from emotional distress, and funeral expenses. "Angel family" is defined as immediate family of a homicide victim when the killer is unlawfully present under INA 212(a)(6)(A)(i) or is a member of an international criminal organization involved in drug trafficking. - Victims and survivors of criminal violence would have clarified VOCA coverage for medical care (including mental health), lost wages tied to physical injury, and funeral costs. - The new DHS office would operate a hotline, refer victims to social services, provide custody-status and releasable criminal or immigration history, and collect metrics. It must conduct a case study and deliver an annual report within 1 year and annually thereafter on demographics, locations, crime types, and repeat offenses.
