Illegal immigrant seen snatching Chinese sex slave who escaped Texas trafficking ring had deportation case cancelled under Biden admin

An illegal migrant from Honduras who was seen in a chilling video snatching a sex-trafficking victim he allegedly held hostage in Texas had his deportation order canceled under the Biden administration, the Department of Homeland Security revealed Thursday.

Cops nabbed Jose Carcamo, 22, last week after he allegedly held the Chinese woman captive when she tried to flee a trafficking ring in Houston, according to KPRC 2.

He allegedly held the victim for five days without food or water — while he beat her and sexually assaulted her.

Carcamo crossed the border illegally on Nov. 24, 2020, and later had his deportation case “terminated” by the Biden administration, according to DHS.

An immigration judge formally granted the case’s cancellation on Sept. 8, 2023, DHS said.

“This accused kidnapper and suspected sex trafficker was just one of the countless criminal illegal aliens who inexplicably had their removal proceedings terminated by the Biden administration and were allowed to remain in the country,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. 

“Thanks to the leadership of President Trump and Secretary Noem, criminal illegal aliens are being locked up and will no longer be allowed to terrorize American communities. Our message is clear: criminals are not welcome in the United States,” she added.

Carcamo also allegedly tied the woman up, punched her and raped her while holding her captive.

Cops responded to the alleged trafficking ring after receiving a 911 call from a woman who was crying out for help.

A witness also reported seeing a woman running down the street before a man grabbed her.

Upon searching the East Houston trailer home, cops found the woman locked inside a closet, KPRC 2 reported.

The captive said she was transported from New York to Texas for a new and more lucrative masseuse job.

Her captors later confiscated her Chinese passport and moved her into the mobile home in Houston, she said.

She described being tied up and sexually assaulted by Carcamo on multiple occasions and had been locked in a closet after she attempted to break free.

“She said she was a masseuse up in New York. She was offered a position down here in Houston that paid more money. So she was given transportation down here. Someone drove her. Said she spent about four or five days or so in a car driving down here,” said Lt. John Klafka, chief of the adult special crimes unit at the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.

“He obviously is not the one that drove her from New York,” Klafka said, adding that there are “other people involved.

“This is a very traumatic event. You know, you’re in a foreign country. You were brought from one giant city to another that’s halfway across the country, south. And she has no friends, no family. Nobody is here for her,” he continued.

“So we’ve got to do everything we can to ensure that she can trust us to do our jobs and find the rest of the people that are involved in this.”

Authorities believe the incident is tied to a larger trafficking ring, according to KPRC 2.

Carcomo was arrested on July 14 and charged with aggravated kidnapping. ICE has since lodged a detainer “to ensure this criminal illegal alien will never be released into American communities.”

The migrant’s attorney said Carcamo “maintains complete innocence.”

“Our client, Mr. Jose Carcamo, is shocked by the serious allegations brought forth against him and firmly maintains his complete innocence. He fully expects that the evidence will ultimately clear his name,” the lawyer said in a statement to KPRC 2.
