U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced on Friday it lodged a detainer for the federal arrest and removal of an illegal immigrant after he allegedly used a machete to decapitate a Texas merchant.

Yordanis Cobos-Martinez, a Cuban national, was arrested on Wednesday by Dallas police on homicide charges after he allegedly used a machete to behead a merchant during an argument in front of the victim’s family, according to a news release from ICE.

He then allegedly proceeded to kick the victim’s head “around like a soccer ball,” the release said.

Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. (The Department of Homeland Security )
