ICE seeks to arrest, deport Cuban illegal who allegedly beheaded Texas merchant

 September 14, 2025

As President Donald Trump directs U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal agencies to continue the crackdown on illegal immigrants and efforts to have the deported, ICE lodged a detainer on an especially dangerous one.

According to Fox News, the federal agency reported Friday that it has filed paperwork for a federal arrest detainer and deportation of an illegal alien who allegedly used a machete to decapitate a Texas merchant.

Yordanis Cobos-Martinez, an illegal immigrant from Cuba, was arrested in Dallas last week and was charged with homocide after a gruesome alleged murder involving a Texas merchant.

The murder, which involved the decapitation of the merchant, reportedly happened in front of his family.

ICE wants him

It's understandable why ICE would want to collar him and send him packing, as he's one of the ones President Donald Trump has warned Americans about for years now. The most nasty and the most dangerous type.

Not only did he allegedly decapitate the merchant after the argument in front of the man's family, he then reportedly proceeded to kick the victim's head around "like a soccer ball."

Like other illegals that ICE is attempting to boot out of the country, Cobos-Martinez has a lengthy rap sheet and is quite clearly a danger to society. Yet, President Biden's administration kept him here.

Fox News noted:

He has a prior final order of removal to Cuba and was most recently held in ICE Dallas custody before being released on an order of supervision on January 13, 2025, during the Biden administration, as noted in the release.

At one point, even his home country of Cuba refused to have him back due to his criminal history, which is really saying something.

Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin issued a statement regarding his arrest and hopeful deportation.

The DHS statement

McLaughlin held nothing back in describing the monster that Cobos-Martinez is.

"This vile monster beheaded this man in front of his wife and child and proceeded to kick the victims’ head on the ground," the statement read.

It added, "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.

One would hope that there wouldn't be any pushback from the courts on this particular case. It's clear that this kind of trash needs to be taken out of the country and locked away.
