Undocumented immigrants from Honduras, featured in a disturbing video related to a sex trafficking incident in Texas, have had their deportation orders canceled under the Biden administration, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
Authorities apprehended 22-year-old Jose Kacamo after he allegedly kidnapped a Chinese woman while attempting to flee a human trafficking ring in Houston.
Kacamo reportedly held the victim captive for five days, during which she was deprived of food and water.
The video footage captured a man dragging the woman into what appeared to be a trailer.
Reports indicate that Kacamo crossed the U.S.-Mexico border unlawfully on November 24, 2020, with the DHS later terminating his deportation case.
An immigration judge officially canceled this case on September 8, 2023.
Critics pointed out that such allegations highlight a broader issue of undocumented immigrants being allowed to remain in the country. They questioned the administration’s handling of immigration enforcement.
In the midst of these discussions, it’s also claimed that Kacamo physically assaulted and raped the woman during her captivity.
Law enforcement responded to reports of potential human trafficking after receiving a 911 call from a woman crying out for help.
Witnesses mentioned seeing Kacamo seize a woman as she fled down the street.
Upon searching the trailer home in East Houston, officers found the woman hidden inside a closet.
She shared that she had been transported from New York to Texas, with her Chinese passport confiscated by Kacamo.
The victim recounted being bound multiple times and subjected to sexual assault, often locked in a closet when she attempted to escape.
According to reports, she had been lured to Houston under the false promise of better job opportunities.
Her attorney mentioned that Kacamo “categorically denies” all allegations, expressing confidence that evidence will exonerate him.
Authorities suspect this incident might be part of a larger human trafficking network.
Kacamo was arrested on July 14 and faces charges of aggravated kidnapping. Immigration officials have taken steps to ensure he is not released into the community while proceedings unfold.
