Dallas

An Indian-origin motel manager, Chandra Nagamallaiah, was brutally beheaded in Dallas, Texas, in front of his wife and son, sparking outrage over public safety and immigration enforcement in the United States. US President Donald Trump condemned the attack and promised a strict crackdown on illegal immigrants with criminal backgrounds. The accused, 37-year-old Yordanis Cobos-Martinez, has a history of violent crimes and was previously in ICE custody but released after Cuba refused deportation. Authorities confirm he is jailed without bond and will face first-degree murder charges. The Indian Consulate in Houston is closely monitoring the case, offering support to the victim’s family. Trump’s statement signals a renewed focus on enforcing immigration laws, particularly against individuals with serious criminal records. Stay tuned for the latest updates on this developing case and its implications for US immigration policy.
