ICE Starts Victims' Telephone Program
The latest appalling action by ICE: Check out its "Voice Program", announced yesterday. It stands for "Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement Office." There's even a VINE feature to help anyone track find and track undocumented persons who have been convicted of a crime.
ICE also says this is just a beginning. It is going to be also expanding services to allow the agency "to collect metrics and information." On whom? The victims or the perpetrators? Or both?
It uses deprecated terms like "illegal" to refer to undocumented persons.
My view: This program is an unacceptable use of federal resources that highlights the shameful bigotry in the Trump Administration's agenda.
