Trump Vows Immigration Crackdown After ICE Release Amid Cuba Repatriation Refusal In Dallas Machete Case

Former President Trump condemned the release of Cuban national Yordanis Cobos-Martinez, who is charged with capital murder in Dallas, and vowed a tougher immigration crackdown. ICE says the suspect had a final order of removal but was released on an order of supervision in January 2025 after Cuba refused repatriation; an ICE detainer is now in place. The case highlights the enforcement gap when home countries decline removals and is fueling renewed political pressure on ICE removal practices.
