The chairmen of the Senate and House Judiciary Committees are demanding more information about a twice-deported illegal immigrant who has been charged with kidnapping and rape. Breitbart Texas first wrote about the incident on the day the alleged rapist was indicted.

A federal criminal complaint shows how Jose Amaya-Vasquez, an illegal immigrant from Honduras, kidnapped his ex-girlfriend at knife-point, and repeatedly raped her as they travelled from Kansas City, Mo. to New Jersey with her two-year old daughter.

Amaya-Vasquez illegally returned to the U.S. after having been deported twice prior to the kidnapping, according to the complaint. One of his deportations stemmed from an earlier assault of the victim, his ex-girlfriend.

“To better understand Amaya-Vasquez’s immigration and criminal history, we are seeking answers about his entry to and residency in the United States,” says the letter to Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA).

“Please provide both Committees on the Judiciary, no later than November 6, 2015, with the immigration history and status, executive summary, criminal history and any other information that may be readily available surrounding Amaya-Vasquez,” the pair write.

The interest in the Amaya-Vasquez case follows recent Republican efforts to increase the penalty for migrants who sneak back in after being deported.
