An illegal immigrant is behind bars after investigators say he kidnapped a 6-year-old girl from her home in the middle of the night and sexually assaulted her.
A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security confirmed to Fox News Digital the agency lodged a detainer against Lester Noe Perez-Amador, 27, following his arrest.
The horrific incident happened in Washington Borough, New Jersey, officials said.

She was reported missing from her home just before 3 a.m. Saturday; within an hour police found her “as she was returning home on foot,” the report says.

A day later, police arrested Perez-Amador, who investigators say is “known” to the child victim.

The agency did confirm he was arrested in a DUI case and taken into ICE custody to face deportation in March 2024. DHS said, “The Biden administration then released him back into the community despite being a criminal illegal alien with no right to remain in our country.”
