The Biden administration has wrapped up a deportation case involving illegal immigrants accused of sexually assaulting a woman and holding her captive for several days, as reported by federal immigration authorities.
Jose Armando Carcamo Permodo, a Honduran citizen living illegally in the U.S., was recently charged with assault and luring after local law enforcement found a woman trapped in Harris County, Texas. It is alleged that he held a sex trafficking victim against her will for five days, denying her food and water, while subjected to sexual assaults.
Originally, Honduran citizens faced removal procedures after entering the U.S. illegally in 2020. But under the current administration, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) sought to terminate these deportation proceedings in 2023.
“These allegations of temptation and sex trafficking are just one example of numerous illegal immigrants who have been inadvertently allowed to stay in the country by the Biden administration,” some critics claim.
According to DHS, Carcamo crossed the U.S.-Mexico border unlawfully on November 24, 2020. On September 8, 2023, amid ongoing border challenges, an immigration judge agreed to the request to end his removal proceedings.
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office arrested Carcamo on July 14. Local authorities were alerted to potential wrongdoing after neighbors’ doorbell cameras captured footage of a woman attempting to escape, at which point Carcamo allegedly dragged her back inside.
“She was kicking and screaming; he was just carrying her away. It was really alarming,” recalled an unnamed neighbor.
The victim, who is a Chinese citizen working as a masseuse in New York, was lured to the Houston area with promises of better employment. However, upon her arrival, she reportedly had her passport taken and was confined to a trailer.
Investigators suspect she may be one of several victims involved in a larger sex trafficking operation.
Under the Rental Riley Act, ICE has been issuing detainers in collaboration with local authorities. The previous administration asserted it aimed to prevent illegal immigrants involved in crimes from being released into U.S. communities.
“Thanks to President Trump and Secretary Noem’s guidance, criminals are being kept from harming American communities,” a spokesperson mentioned. “Our message is clear: those who commit crimes are not welcome here.”
