EXCLUSIVE: An Angel Dad whose daughter’s life was tragically cut short by an illegal alien, is joining U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Fox News Digital has learned.
“I am excited to accept the Executive Director role at VOICE because this is not simply a government position for me, it is deeply personal and rooted in a mission I have come to understand through unimaginable loss,” Joe Abraham said, announcing the new move he hopes will help serve others in his situation.
VOICE stands for Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE), an office inside the agency that supports victims of illegal alien crime.
Abraham’s daughter, 20-year-old Katie Abraham, and her friend Chloe Polzin were killed in a January 2025 drunk-driving hit-and-run car wreck caused by criminal illegal alien Julio Cucul-Bol, a Guatemalan national.
He was charged with multiple offenses following the crash and later pleaded guilty to charges including aggravated driving under the influence resulting in death and leaving the scene of a fatal crash. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison.

Since then, Abraham has been an outspoken activist in favor of closing the borders and arresting and deporting illegal aliens. He is credited as the inspiration behind Operation Midway Blitz, a sweeping Chicago-area federal immigration enforcement operation from September to December 2025.
The operation, which was heavily protested by Democrats, netted more than 4,000 arrests, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
Now, Abraham will lead ICE’s Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE) office as the executive director.
“I want to use my experience, my voice and what I have learned through Katies story to make sure victims and their families are heard, treated with dignity and never become an afterthought in our immigration system,” Abraham continued.
White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis praised Abraham as he prepares to begin his new role.

“Angel Dad Joe Abraham is the perfect choice to lead the VOICE office,” she said. “Since the murder of his daughter, Katie, in a drunk driving hit-and-run in sanctuary Illinois, he has been a staunch advocate for victims of illegal alien crime and a powerful critic of the Democrats sanctuary policies.”
“In his new role in the Trump administration, he will help countless families who lost a loved one to a preventable tragedy caused by open-border policies.”
