Makes sense:
The hotline is part of the Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement Office, and it’s problematic for a lot of obvious reasons. First, as stated above, how exactly is one supposed to know whether a criminal is undocumented? Second, people who are victims of crime should probably call the police, not a hotline that exists to field complaints about brown people. It’s racist and it’s fear-mongering, and luckily, the internet understood that and took matters into its own hands, like the internet tends to do.
