ICE Lodges Detainer After Dallas Motel Beheading; DHS Uses Case To Push Removals And Third‑Country Deportations

CNN reports a Cuban national, Yordanis Cobos-Martinez, is accused of a machete killing and beheading at a Dallas motel. ICE says he was previously held at Bluebonnet Detention in ERO Dallas but released on supervision in January because Cuba would not accept him; the agency has now lodged a detainer and is seeking removal. DHS officials are citing the case to justify intensified removals and third‑country deportations, aligning with recent rhetoric tying high‑profile crimes by noncitizens to enforcement crackdowns. Some prior-offense claims from ICE are not yet documented in the report.
