‘Barbaric’: Trump Condemns Murder of Indian-Origin Man in Texas, Blames Biden’s Policies

US President Donald Trump has strongly denounced the brutal killing of Chandra Mouli "Bob" Nagamallaiah, an Indian-origin motel manager who was beheaded in Dallas, Texas, last week by Cuban migrant Yordanis Cobos-Martinez. Trump vowed that his administration would not go easy on violent illegal immigrants and promised to "make America safe again."

In a statement on Truth Social, Trump said: "I am aware of the terrible reports regarding the murder of Chandra Nagamallaiah, a well-respected person in Dallas, Texas, who was brutally beheaded, in front of his wife and son, by an ILLEGAL ALIEN from Cuba who should have never been in our Country."

He stressed that the accused had a history of criminal offenses, including child sex abuse, grand theft auto, and false imprisonment, but was freed "under incompetent Joe Biden because Cuba did not want such an evil person in their Country."

Calling the crime "barbaric," Trump argued that such individuals should never be allowed to remain in the United States. He praised members of his administration-Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and Border Czar Tom Homan-for their role in restoring law and order.

The incident occurred Wednesday morning at the Downtown Suites motel in Dallas, where Nagamallaiah worked as a manager. Police said the dispute began over a malfunctioning washing machine. The suspect, 37-year-old Cobos-Martinez, allegedly returned with a machete and attacked Nagamallaiah in front of his wife and teenage son.

Authorities confirmed that Cobos-Martinez has a lengthy criminal record, including arrests for auto theft, assault, child sex abuse, and false imprisonment. He had previously been in the custody of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) but was released earlier this year because Cuba refused to accept his deportation.

Homeland Security officials criticized the Biden administration for his release. Tricia McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs, described the killing as "a savage, preventable crime" and said it highlighted the administration's efforts to deport criminal migrants to third countries.

Cobos-Martinez remains in custody without bond. If convicted, he faces either life imprisonment without parole or the death penalty.
