A Minnesota man charged with beheading his girlfriend is an illegal immigrant from Cuba who Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been unable to deport, the agency confirmed to Fox News on Thursday.

Alexis Saborit-Viltres is charged with second-degree murder in Shakopee, Minnesota, after he allegedly beheaded his girlfriend, America Mafalda Thayer, and dumped her body at an intersection in Shakopee in front of horrified witnesses.

An ICE official told Fox News that the Cuban national had initially entered the U.S. in 2007 across the southern border via El Paso.

Fox 9 reported that Saborit allegedly told police that he dated Thayer for a few years. Thayer reportedly told him that she wanted to break up and he allegedly told police that she had “gone too far.” Police say he admitted to killing her with a knife, the report said. 

Fox News’ Edmund DeMarche and Paul Best contributed to this report.
