The Trump administration has been cracking down on illegal alien crime for months, but a recent incident in Dallas where an illegal from Cuba beheaded another man during an argument is shining a new spotlight on the type of criminals ICE is up against. Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons discussed the Dallas incident on the Breitbart News Daily podcast, noting that it still didn't get much play in the mainstream media despite their almost-daily stories about ICE raids.
"He got into an argument with this poor motel owner, beheaded him in front of his family, kicked his head around like a soccer ball, and then threw it in the dumpster," says Lyons. "This guy should have never been on the street."
Lyons added this killer was a Cuban national who had previously been arrested for several crimes, but was released by the Biden administration just a week before President Trump took office because of a lack of deportation flights. "They were soft on crime, they were soft on countries that wouldn't take their individuals back," he says.
"But I think what you're seeing now...is under President Trump and Secretary Noem, we're finding the option to remove these people," he continues. "We're no longer going to just release them and say sorry, you can't go back to your home country. We're finding third countries to remove them to."
Lyons vows that ICE will continue to arrest and deport violent criminals, despite continued protests and attacks from the left. "It's just such a heinous crime, that I really wish more of the American public would see exactly the threat that ICE are out there battling every day."
