Chávez Jr. Arrest Highlights U.S.-Mexico Crime Cooperation

News summary

Julio César Chávez Jr., former world middleweight boxing champion and son of Mexican legend Julio César Chávez, was arrested by U.S. immigration authorities in Los Angeles for overstaying his visa and making fraudulent statements on a green card application. Authorities allege cartel ties, partly through his wife Frida Muñoz, who is reportedly linked to cartel figures. Following his recent loss to Jake Paul, Chávez Jr. faces deportation to Mexico, where he is wanted on organized crime and arms trafficking charges stemming from a 2023 arrest warrant. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has said she expects him to serve his sentence in Mexico. Chávez Jr.'s attorney has called the arrest sensationalist, and his family maintains his innocence. The case underscores ongoing U.S.-Mexico collaboration targeting organized crime and high-profile individuals suspected of cartel involvement.
