Julio Cesar Chavez Jr was arrested by US immigration agents for alleged ties to the Sinaloa Cartel and for making fraudulent residency statements. Mexican authorities have an arrest warrant for Chavez, stemming from a 2019 investigation, but previous arrest attempts were hindered by his residence in the US. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum expressed hope for his deportation to serve an arms trafficking sentence in Mexico. Chavez's lawyer criticized the allegations, suggesting they were sensationalized for media attention.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has announced expectations for boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Jr to be deported to serve a sentence for arms trafficking and organized crime.
Chavez had not previously been arrested because he spends most of his time in the US, despite an arrest warrant issued by Mexico in 2023.
Following his arrest, the US Department of Homeland Security confirmed Chavez is suspected of having ties to Mexico's Sinaloa Cartel, designated as a foreign terrorist organization.
Chavez's lawyer asserts that the allegations against him are outrageous, describing the situation as seemingly designed to generate headlines.
