From NY Post: Julio César Chávez Jr., a Mexican boxer who fought Jake Paul in a losing effort Saturday, was arrested Wednesday by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Studio City, Calif., and is facing “expedited removal” from the United States, the Department of Homeland Security said in a release Thursday.
Chávez Jr., a Mexican citizen, “has an active arrest warrant in Mexico for his involvement in organized crime and trafficking firearms, ammunition, and explosives,” according to the release.
DHS alleged that it believes Chávez Jr. is an “affiliate of the Sinaloa Cartel” — which President Donald Trump’s administration designated as a “Foreign Terrorist Organization” after taking office in January.
Chávez Jr.’s B2 tourist visa expired in February 2024, and he filed the application for permanent residency in April 2024.
His marriage to a U.S. citizen was allegedly linked to the Sinaloa Cartel through a previous relationship with the late son of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, the DHS said.
In December, ICE notified the administration that Chávez Jr. posed a significant public safety risk.
Despite this, the Biden administration determined he wasn’t an immigration enforcement priority and allowed him to return to the U.S. on January 4, according to the DHS.
