Overview

  • Jose Armando Carcamo-Perdomo, 22, remains jailed on a $150,000 bond after being charged with aggravated kidnapping and assault for allegedly holding a Chinese migrant captive and sexually assaulting her in a Houston trailer.
  • Immigration and Customs Enforcement lodged a detainer on July 15 to ensure his transfer for deportation proceedings if he is released from Harris County Jail.
  • Investigators say the victim, lured from New York with a fake massage job offer, was confined in a locked closet without food or water and is now receiving medical treatment.
  • Authorities believe Carcamo-Perdomo did not act alone and have broadened the inquiry into a potential network of traffickers.
  • Records show his removal proceedings were terminated under DHS’s prosecutorial discretion policy in September 2023, fueling debate over interior immigration enforcement.
