A controversial new immigration-related hotline launched by President Donald Trump has been mercilessly trolled by people reporting UFOs and extraterrestrial sightings. The VOICE service started yesterday to enable victims of crimes committed by immigrants to contact government officials. But it has been heavily criticized, with opponents pointing out that studies show immigrants are actually far less likely to commit crimes than native-born US citizens. The new office, run by the Department of Homeland Security, promises to help 'victims and their families who have been impacted committed by removable criminal aliens'. The use of the word 'alien' in the Department of Homeland Security's aims has sparked widespread mockery TV alien Alf was among the characters who featured in memes and tweets mocking the new initiative The launch coincided with Alien Day, which marks the classic 1986 science fiction classic Alien, which starred Sigourney Weaver The VOICE service started yesterday to enable victims of crimes committed by immigrants to contact government officials People are being encouraged to report problems they suffer as a result of activity by 'removable criminal aliens' Jabba the Hutt, from Star Wars, was cited as an alien as the VOICE initiative was mocked on Twitter The new department has been trolled mercilessly by Twitter users over the use of the word 'alien' One Twitter user posted a picture of the Power Rangers to troll the VOICE initiative launched yesterday by President Donald Trump People have been encouraged to report activity by 'removable criminal aliens' The use of the word 'alien' prompted widespread mockery, with Twitter users and pranksters inundating the service with reports of menacing figures such as TV alien Alf, Star Wars characters and ET. The launch coincided with Alien Day, which marks the classic 1986 science fiction classic Alien, which starred Sigourney Weaver. Trump made great play of the issue during the campaign and highlighted the case of Jamiel Shaw Jr, 17, who was murdered in Los Angeles by Mexican illegal immigrant Pedro Espinoza in 2008. Espinoza, a gang member who targeted Jamiel simply for wearing the color red in Arlington Heights, had been released from prison rather than being deported. Kelly said the VOICE office would be used to keep victims informed of the immigration proceedings of suspects and generally walk them through the complicated and often drawn-out immigration court process.
