Trump Vows Crackdown ‘OVER Under My Watch!’ After Illegal Alien Charged in Dallas Machete Beheading

President Donald Trump condemned the killing of 52-year-old Chandra Mouli Nagamallaiah in Dallas, calling it the result of immigration enforcement failures after authorities charged a Cuban national with capital murder, as reported by Fox News.

The suspect, 37-year-old Yordanis Cobos-Martinez, allegedly attacked Nagamallaiah with a machete at a downtown Dallas motel, stabbing and beheading him in front of his wife and son.

This Could Be the Most Important Video Gun Owners Watch All Year

Immigration and Customs Enforcement records show that he had previously been issued a final order of removal to Cuba but remained in the United States after the Cuban government declined to accept his return.

Trump addressed the case in a Truth Social post, stating, “This crime was committed by an illegal alien from Cuba who should have never been in our country.”

The President criticized former President Joe Biden, saying Cobos-Martinez had been released from ICE custody during the prior administration.

“This individual was previously arrested for terrible crimes, including child sex abuse, grand theft auto and false imprisonment, but was released back into our homeland under incompetent Joe Biden because Cuba did not want such an evil person in their country. Rest assured, the time for being soft on these illegal immigrant criminals is OVER under my watch!” Trump wrote.

Thank you @realDonaldTrump

ICE confirmed that Cobos-Martinez was last held in agency custody in Dallas before being released on an order of supervision on January 13, 2025, after Cuba declined to receive him.

Federal officials said the case reflects a broader challenge in U.S. immigration enforcement when foreign governments refuse to accept deportees with criminal convictions.

Trump praised Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Attorney General Pam Bondi for what he called “an incredible job” in strengthening enforcement under his administration.

He vowed that illegal aliens with criminal backgrounds will face prosecution “to the fullest extent of the law.”

The murder has renewed scrutiny of immigration policies and supervision practices for individuals with prior removal orders who remain in the country. Trump emphasized that such cases would be handled differently under his administration’s enforcement approach.

Cobos-Martinez remains in custody on capital murder charges. Prosecutors have not yet announced whether they will seek the death penalty.
