The proposal would eliminate the U visa program, which currently allows certain crime victims who cooperate with law enforcement to obtain temporary legal status and work authorization in the United States.

Removing this program would eliminate a key tool that law enforcement agencies use to encourage victims to come forward and assist in criminal investigations.
