HR 3362 United States House · 119th Congress

Justice for Angel Families Act

This bill amends the Victims of Crime Act to expand compensation for "angel families" - immediate family members of homicide victims caused by undocumented immigrants (under INA 212(a)(6)(A)(i)) or international drug cartel members (under Controlled Substances Act). It adds coverage for emotional distress-related wage loss and medical expenses, alongside existing medical, funeral, and physical injury costs. The bill also creates a new Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement Office within Homeland Security to provide victims and families with support services, referrals, and criminal history information, while requiring annual reports tracking crime demographics, locations, and perpetrator patterns. These changes directly affect families of homicide victims where the perpetrator fits the specified categories of immigration or drug trafficking violations.
