Immigration records confirm that Jamie Iram Gamez Cadena entered the U.S. on a B-2 visa and remained past the authorized period (overstay).

Source summary
ICE lodged an arrest detainer on February 1, 2026, for Jamie Iram Gamez Cadena, a Mexican national alleged to have stabbed his ex‑girlfriend and charged with attempted first‑degree murder in Charlotte, North Carolina. The department says Gamez Cadena is in the U.S. unlawfully as a B‑2 visa overstay and is urging North Carolina officials not to release him, citing past instances where sanctuary policies allegedly led to releases of criminal noncitizens. DHS provided a VOICE Office contact for victims and framed the detainer as a measure to prevent the suspect’s return to the community.
