The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Monday issued a stern warning following the brutal beheading of an Indian-origin man, Chandra Mouli Nagamallaiah, in Dallas, Texas.The agency highlighted the risks posed by criminal illegal immigrants and warned that those entering the US illegally could be deported to third countries, including Eswatini, Uganda and South Sudan.In a post on X, DHS described the killing as ‘vile’ and ‘completely preventable,’ stating that the 37-year-old Cuban national, Yordanis Cobos-Martinez, should not have been released into the US by former President Joe Biden’s administration after Cuba refused to take him back. “This vile monster beheaded a man in front of his wife and child and proceeded to kick the victims’ head on the ground. This gruesome, savage slaying of a victim at a motel by Yordanis Cobos-Martinez was completely preventable if this criminal illegal alien was not released into our country by the Biden Administration since Cuba would not take him back,” the department wrote.DHS warned that criminal illegal aliens are being removed to third countries, saying that President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem are no longer allowing dangerous offenders to remain indefinitely in the US. ” If you come to our country illegally, you could end up in Eswatini, Uganda, South Sudan, or CECOT,” the post read.
What happened?
The horrific incident occurred Wednesday morning at the Downtown Suites Motel in Dallas, where 50-year-old motel manager Chandra Mouli Nagamallaiah was brutally attacked and beheaded by his co-worker, Yordanis Cobos-Martinez. Surveillance footage and witness accounts revealed that Cobos-Martinez chased Nagamallaiah across the motel premises, striking him with a machete in front of his wife and young son.According to witnesses, the attack began after an argument over a broken washing machine. Nagamallaiah’s family attempted to intervene, but the suspect continued the assault. Police reported that Cobos-Martinez took the victim’s cell phone and key card during the attack, ultimately severing his head, which he then kicked into the parking lot before placing it in a dumpster.Dallas Fire-Rescue arrived as Cobos-Martinez walked away from the scene carrying the bloodied machete. He was promptly taken into custody by Dallas police and admitted to the killing in an interview with authorities.
President Donald Trump reacts:
In response to the attack, President Trump condemned the killing as “terrible” and criticized the Biden administration for being “soft on illegal immigrant criminals.” In a post on Truth Social, Trump said Cobos-Martinez “was released back into our Homeland under incompetent Joe Biden because Cuba did not want such an evil person in their Country.” He added that the suspect had a criminal record, including charges of child sex abuse, grand theft auto and false imprisonment.Trump emphasized that “time for being soft on these Illegal Immigrant Criminals is OVER” under his watch and pledged that Cobos-Martinez would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, including first-degree murder charges.He also praised Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, Attorney General Pam Bondi and other administration officials for their efforts in “making America safe again.”The beheading has sparked nationwide outrage and renewed debate over US immigration policies, particularly the handling of criminal illegal immigrants who are released into the country when other nations refuse to accept them. immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials described the attack as “unthinkable”.
