Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office

________________________________________________________________________

WASHINGTON - On March 27 - 28, the Assistant Secretary for the DHS Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office (CWMD), David Richardson, traveled to Chicago, Illinois, to meet with state and local representatives for the BioWatch and Securing the Cities (STC) programs.

During the March 27 BioWatch meeting, A/S Richardson met with the Chicago area BioWatch program representatives to discuss the future of the program, its value, and what actions CWMD could take to strengthen this valuable program further.

The BioWatch program operates 24/7/365 in over 30 major metropolitan areas to provide an early indication of any potential airborne biological attack. DHS CWMD manages the program, supported by other federal agencies. The program is operated by a network of scientists and laboratory technicians, along with emergency managers, law enforcement officers, and public health officials across federal, state, and local levels of government.

On March 28, A/S Richardson met with the Chicago STC program leadership. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss detection equipment needs, the program's status, and to see if there are any areas CWMD can improve upon in supporting the state and local team.

The STC Program was established in 2007 and included in the Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Act of 2018. STC's mission is to prevent the illicit possession, movement, and use of radiological or nuclear materials and weapons in the United States by enhancing the nuclear detection capabilities of state, local, tribal, and territorial agencies.

Through STC's coordinated planning and operations, federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial partners work together in the STC regions to defend against the threat of radiological or nuclear terrorism. CWMD provides radiological and nuclear detection equipment, training, exercise support, and operational and technical subject matter expertise to the STC regions through cooperative agreement grants.

CWMD supports STC implementations in broad areas centered on high-risk urban areas across the Nation. Urban areas include New York City/Newark, Los Angeles/Long Beach, National Capital Region, Houston, Chicago, Atlanta, Miami, Denver, Phoenix/Maricopa County, San Francisco, Seattle, Boston, and New Orleans.

CWMD serves as the Department of Homeland Security's focal point for countering weapons of mass destruction efforts. By supporting operational partners across federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial levels, CWMD coordinates DHS efforts to safeguard the United States against chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats.

*Secretary Noem Announces Relaunch of Office for Victims of Immigration Crime Shuttered by Biden*

"The Trump Administration is standing up for Americans who were victims of illegal alien crimes."

WASHINGTON - Today, Secretary Noem announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is relaunching the Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE) office. The VOICE office was shuttered by the previous administration, which left victims of alien crime without access to many key support services and resources.

voice hotline

The Trump administration is once again putting Americans first and standing up for law and order by reinstating the VOICE office within Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE).

A statement from Secretary Noem is below:

""I met with Angel Families who lost a loved one because of an illegal alien who should never have been in our country. 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. ""President Trump and I will continue to remove criminal illegal aliens from our streets and make America safe again.""

A statement from ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons is below:

""Illegal aliens harming American citizens is unconscionable. But now, thanks to President Trump, we're able to help people victimized by criminal aliens through the VOICE Office. I'm extremely proud of ICE's entire workforce -- the officers and agents on the ground who are enforcing immigration law fairly, the support staff who pull these operations together and handle logistics, and those who help shine a light on those who have suffered harm at illegal aliens' hands.""

The VOICE Office helps victims of crime and their families by:

* Helping victims follow and understand the immigration enforcement and removal process.

* Signing up victims to receive automated custody status information on criminal aliens in ICE custody.

* Providing additional criminal or immigration history about illegal aliens to victims or their families.

* Explaining where a victim may have the opportunity to provide a victim impact statement in applicable cases.

* Giving access to social service professionals and local contacts who can help connect victims to resources and service providers.

The office was first launched in 2017 by the Trump administration as a dedicated resource for those who have been victimized by crime that has a nexus to immigration.

WASHINGTON *- *On Thursday, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem reminded all foreign nationals present in the United Stated longer than 30 days that the deadline to register under the Alien Registration Act is coming up on April 11.

This law requires all aliens in the United States for more than 30 days to register with the federal government. Failure to comply is a crime, punishable by fines, imprisonment, or both.

""President Trump and I have a clear message for those in our country illegally: leave now. If you leave now, you may have the opportunity to return and enjoy our freedom and live the American dream"","" *said* *Secretary Noem.*" "The Trump administration will enforce all our immigration laws--we will not pick and choose which laws we will enforce. We must know who is in our country for the safety and security of our homeland and all Americans.""

*BACKGROUND: *

On January 20, 2025, President Donald J. Trump signed Executive Order 14159, Protecting the American People Against Invasion, directing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to restore order and accountability to our immigration system. This includes enforcing the long-ignored Alien Registration Act.

*COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS: *

On or by April 11, 2025, the following will apply to all noncitizens, regardless of status:

* *Present in the U.S. for 30 days or more as of April 11, 2025, without registration evidence:* Register immediately via USCIS. [ https://www.uscis.gov/alienregistration ]
* *Entering on or after April 11, 2025, without registration evidence:* Register within 30 days of arrival.
* *Turning 14 in the U.S.:* Re-register and submit fingerprints within 30 days of your 14th birthday, even if previously registered.
* *Parents or guardians of minors under 14:* Register minors if they remain in the U.S. for 30 days or longer.

Upon registration and fingerprinting, DHS will issue proof of registration. All noncitizens 18 and older must carry this documentation at all times. This administration has directed DHS to prioritize enforcement, *_there will be no sanctuary for noncompliance_*.

*DHS Responds to New York Times Misleading Reporting on Alfredo Orellana*

WASHINGTON - Today, Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin released the following statement regarding the New York Times's misleading reporting on the arrest of Alfredo Orellana.

""The New York Times conveniently failed to mention the full extent of Alfredo Orellana's criminal history, which includes distributing drugs, drug possession, assault and battery, failure to appear to court (twice), theft at the second degree, and larceny. The New York Times is more interested in fake sob stories than facts," "*said Assistant Secretary McLaughlin*. ""It is a privilege to be granted a green card to live and work in the United States of America--not a right--and if you are charged with crimes, you are subject to revocation of that privilege.""
