Following President Trumps 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 Trumps 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 Trumps hotline with complaints of crimes committed by space aliens.
Surrounded by the families of victims of crime committed by undocumented immigrants, Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly announced the Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement office, also known as VOICE.
All crime is terrible, but these victims as represented here are unique and too often ignored, Kelly said. They are casualties of crimes that should never have taken place because the people who victimized them often times should never have been in the country, CNN reported:
The office will also cover cover victims of any crime with an immigration nexus, officials said. That would cover any potentially removable individual, which include legal permanent residents and visa holders who commit crimes.
The executive order, signed in January, also called for the office to issue reports once a quarter studying the effects of the victimization by criminal aliens present in the United States.

is what this is.
Same type of program Bush did in Iraq, except there it was for money, and every body turned in any one they could find, to settle old scores, or for the money.
I give it 2 weeks before there is a lawsuit over a false arrest from this program.
Meanwhile, I think I saw an space alien in my neighbor's yard. What's that number again?
