独家： 悲痛欲绝的“天使父亲”女儿遭非法移民杀害，他向福克斯新闻数字频道讲述了这场悲剧如何重塑了他的人生，以及他领导ICE非法移民犯罪受害者服务办公室的愿景。
“我曾过着舒适简朴的生活，盼望着退休，看着孩子们长大，可我的整个世界都天翻地覆了，”亚伯拉罕在周五——他领导移民海关执法局移民犯罪受害者参与办公室（VOICE）的第一天——说道，“我所熟悉的生活已经不复存在了。”
2025年1月，亚伯拉罕的女儿凯蒂在伊利诺伊州的家乡被一名非法移民撞死，该肇事者当时处于醉酒驾驶状态。这名嫌犯为危地马拉国民胡利奥·库库尔-博尔，他冒用了墨西哥身份，且不会说英语，在事故发生几天后试图逃往墨西哥时在德州被捕。

他被指控多项罪名，其后对多项指控认罪，包括酒驾致人死亡加重情节以及肇事逃逸致人死亡。他最终被判处30年监禁。
“那时我身处荒野，四处游荡，努力在失去凯蒂之后找到新的人生目标，”亚伯拉罕说，“我本不该如此。我需要凯蒂，我至今仍需要她，但我正努力在没有她的日子里活下去。我希望她为我感到骄傲，我希望她的名字能拥有意义。”
记录显示：尽管有移民海关执法局拘押令，数百名被关押的非法移民仍被释放到蓝州街头
凯蒂·亚伯拉罕的故事启发了移民海关执法局的“中途闪电行动”，这是一项大规模的联邦移民执法行动，去年年底在芝加哥地区逮捕了4000多名非法移民。

亚伯拉罕表示，告别自己熟悉的生活并不容易，他将其形容为“安逸的日子”。他是土生土长的伊利诺伊人，被迫直面难以想象的现实，却发现无法从州政府官员那里获得支持。
国土安全部抨击普利茨克的“庇护州”政策，此前一名有ICE拘押令的儿童强奸犯被释放
“把凯蒂还给我，我就再也不会打扰你们，”他说，“但那不是现实——我认为这也是我们使命的一部分——帮助其他人是我们使命的一部分。我知道他们正在经历什么，他们需要帮助。我想成为帮助他们的人之一。”
2025年6月，亚伯拉罕受邀参加一场关于非法移民问题的国会监督听证会，凯蒂的故事在听证会上被重点提及。
JB·普利茨克与其他民主党州长一同出席了此次听证会，会议聚焦庇护州政策——即便涉及最恶劣的暴力犯罪，这些州的官员也拒绝配合联邦移民执法机构。亚伯拉罕表示，普利茨克和国会民主党人拒绝与他搭话。

但他从唐纳德·特朗普总统那里获得了支持，特朗普邀请他和其他“天使家庭”前往白宫。亚伯拉罕将特朗普描述为“真诚”且“有同理心”的人，与媒体对这位第47任总统的报道截然不同。
这次会面引发了一连串事件，最终让他获得了今日上任的这份工作。他曾与国土安全部（DHS）合作开展宣传工作，在多个平台讲述自己的故事。
“天使家庭”恳求领导人“选择”美国儿童，而非保护非法移民
他计划在VOICE办公室继续开展这项工作。
“我认为我们希望这个办公室首先要做的就是提高公众意识，”亚伯拉罕说，“我们希望人们知道我们就在这里，也了解我们能够提供的一些服务。我希望这里能成为受害者感到被倾听、被关怀、有尊严的地方。我的意思是，他们理应得到这样的待遇。”

VOICE办公室于2025年4月由特朗普政府重新设立，唐纳德·特朗普总统在2025年1月连任就职后，指示国土安全部重启拜登时期被关停的该办公室。
自那以来，该办公室在帮助非法移民犯罪受害者家庭方面产生了重大影响。

该办公室帮助受害者 navigate 复杂的移民法律体系，通常还会向他们提供关于亲人案件的信息。它还会引导家庭获得社会服务，例如亲人离世后可提供帮助的悲伤治疗。
根据6月发布的一份报告，VOICE已接到受害者、家属和维权人士的总计897通来电，已帮助588名受害者寻求援助和信息。
此外，它已协助185名受害者家属寻求服务和信息。
最常见的报案罪行是袭击，占比35%；强奸和性侵犯占17%；杀人及过失杀人占10%。

“当这类悲剧发生时，我可以拿自己举例，你仍会处于迷茫之中，对吧？有时候你思维混乱，无法理清一切。好像所有事情都无法完全吸收，”亚伯拉罕说。
“你满脑子都是悲伤、悲剧和失去，要是当时有一个地方可以一站式求助，而不是要跑六个不同的地方，那对我来说会大有帮助。”
普利茨克的办公室未立即回复置评请求。

EXCLUSIVE:A grieving angel dad whose daughter was killed by an illegal alien told Fox News Digital how the tragedy reshaped his life and what he hopes to accomplish leading ICE’s office for victims of illegal alien crime.
“I was living a comfortable, simple life, looking forward to, like, retiring and just watching my kids, and my whole world is upside down,” Joe Abraham said Friday, his first day leading ICE’s Victims of Immigrant Crime Engagement (VOICE) office. “My life as I know it is not there anymore.”
In January 2025, Abraham’s daughter, Katie, was killed by an illegal alien who was driving drunk in their home state of Illinois. The perpetrator, Guatemalan national Julio Cucul-Bol, who was using an assumed Mexican identity and who did not speak English, was captured in Texas days after the crash as he tried to flee to Mexico.

He was charged with multiple offenses and later pleaded guilty to charges that included aggravated driving under the influence resulting in death and leaving the scene of a fatal crash. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison.
“So, I am in a wilderness, and I’m wandering. I’m trying to find my new purpose without Katie,” said Abraham. “I wasn’t supposed to. I need Katie. I still need Katie, but I’m trying to find a way through this life without her now. I want her to be proud. I want her name to mean something.”
HUNDREDS OF JAILED ILLEGAL ALIENS RELEASED BACK ONTO BLUE-STATE STREETS DESPITE ICE DETAINERS, RECORDS SHOW
Katie Abraham’s story inspired ICE’s Operation Midway Blitz, a sweeping federal immigration enforcement action that netted the arrests of more than 4,000 illegal aliens in the Chicago area late last year.

Abraham said it wasn’t easy to walk away from the life he’s known, which he described as “cushy.” He’s a lifelong Illinoisan who was forced to confront an unimaginable reality, and found it impossible to get support from state officials.

“Give me Katie, and you’ll never hear from me again,” he said. “But that is not reality — and I think it is part of the mission — part of the mission is to help other people. I know what they’re going through and they need help. I want be one of the guys that helps them.”
Abraham was invited to a congressional oversight hearing in June 2025 on illegal immigration, where Katie’s story was highlighted.
JB Pritzker, along with other Democratic governors, were at the hearing, which focused on sanctuary state policies that officials refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities, even in cases of the most heinous violent crimes. Abraham said Pritzker and congressional Democrats refused to acknowledge him.

But he found support from President Donald Trump, who invited him and other angel families to the White House. He described Trump as “genuine” and “empathetic,” unlike, says Abraham, the way the 47th president is portrayed in the media.
That meeting launched a cascading series of events that eventually landed him the job he started today. He partnered with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) doing communications work, telling his story across multiple platforms.

He plans to continue that work at VOICE.
“I think what we’d like to see the voice, No. 1 is awareness,” Abraham said. “We want people to know that we’re out here and some of the services that we can offer. I want this to be someplace where victims feel heard, feel cared for, feel dignity. I mean, they deserve nothing less than that.”

The VOICE office was reestablished by the Trump administration in April 2025, after President Donald Trump directed DHS to revive the Biden-era shuttered office upon taking office for his second term in January.
Since then, it has had a major impact helping families of illegal alien crime victims.

The office helps victims navigate the complex world of immigration law and often provides them information about their loved ones’ cases. It also directs families to social service like grief therapy that can assist them in the wake of the death of a loved one.
VOICE has received 897 total calls from victims, family members and advocates and has helped 588 victims seeking assistance and information, according to a report published in June.

Further, it has assisted 185 victim family members seeking services and information.
The most frequently reported crimes are assault, at 35%, rape and sexual assault, at 17%, and homicide and manslaughter, at 10%.

“When these tragedies happen, and I can use myself as an example, you’re still in a fog, right? You’re sometimes not thinking straight. You’re not getting everything. Like everything isn’t sort of absorbing,” Abraham said.
“You know, you’re so focused on the grief and the tragedy and the loss that it would have really been helpful instead of me trying to have like six different places to go, then I can just go to one place and they will help me.”
Pritzker’s office did not immediately return a request for comment.
