(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.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
