Julio César Chávez Jr. Arrest Fuels Deportation Controversy

News summary

Mexican boxer Julio César Chávez Jr. was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Studio City, California, just days after his fight against Jake Paul. Officials allege Chávez Jr. overstayed his tourist visa, lied on his green card application, and is being deported to Mexico, where he faces charges of organized crime, weapons trafficking, and alleged links to the Sinaloa Cartel. Despite being flagged as a public safety threat in late 2024, Chávez Jr. was readmitted to the U.S. earlier this year. His attorney dismissed the allegations as 'outrageous,' while DHS officials blamed previous enforcement priorities for the delayed action. The arrest has led to increased community tension and protests in Southern California. Chávez Jr.'s wife reportedly has connections to the Sinaloa Cartel through a prior relationship with the son of 'El Chapo' Guzman, further complicating his case.
