Expands who state victim-compensation programs can help by adding an "angel family" category — defined as the immediate family of a homicide victim when the killer was an unlawfully present alien or a member of an international drug‑trafficking criminal organization — and explicitly lists compensation types (medical, mental‑health counseling, lost wages, funeral expenses) to apply in parallel for those families. Creates a new Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement Office inside the Department of Homeland Security to provide a hotline, information sharing, referrals, casework support, and an annual report to Congress on services and outcomes.
Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
