Dallas beheading suspect was allowed to stay in the U.S. after Cuba refused deportation

The Brief

A Cuban national, Yordanis Cobos-Martinez, has been arrested and charged with capital murder for the brutal beheading of his boss at a Dallas motel earlier this week.

Cobos-Martinez was reportedly in the country with an active warrant for a probation violation, despite previous deportation orders from ICE.

The Department of Homeland Security stated the killing was "completely preventable," blaming the previous administration's policy of not deporting to third-party countries.

DALLAS - The man arrested for a brutal Dallas beheading is a Cuban national who, despite deportation efforts, was allowed to remain in the country.

Theoretically, Yordanis Cobos-Martinez should not have been in the United States when police said he attacked and killed his boss with a machete.
