**Boxing Star Julio Cesar Chavez Jr Arrested by US Immigration Authorities**

**The renowned boxer faces deportation over organized crime charges amid controversial allegations.**


**Chavez Jr. is said to have ties with the Sinaloa Cartel, raising concerns regarding immigration policies and community impact.**

 

Mexican boxing icon Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, aged 39, has been apprehended by U.S. immigration officials, prompting plans for his deportation back to Mexico. According to authorities, he has an "active arrest warrant" in Mexico linked to organized crime allegations. This news arrives just days after his loss to influencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul in a California match.

U.S. officials claim Chavez Jr has affiliations with the notorious Sinaloa drug cartel, a statement denied by his legal representative. A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson emphasized that "no one is above the law," reiterating the government's stance under President Trump's administration.

Chavez Jr was taken into custody in Studio City, Los Angeles just following his fight against Paul in Anaheim. The DHS report describes him as a “criminal illegal alien” who is undergoing expedited removal processes. It specifies his connection to organized crime, citing an active warrant in Mexico for gun trafficking and other felonies.

Chavez Jr, the son of legendary Mexican boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Sr, reportedly sought U.S. residency last year, stemming from his marriage to a U.S. citizen previously associated with a key figure of the Sinaloa Cartel. However, he has faced previous legal challenges in the U.S., including a conviction for illegal possession of a weapon as recently as January 2024 and various other offenses.

His attorney, Michael Goldstein, dismissed the allegations of cartel involvement as unfounded and accusatory towards the Latin community. Chavez Jr had previously voiced concerns over the increasing presence of immigration raids in Los Angeles, reflecting fears that even the training staff might face deportation repercussions.

Stating the atmosphere of fear in the community, he criticized the harsh immigration policies under the Trump administration, reinforcing the sentiment of safety fears among immigrants in the U.S. He expressed personal dread of potential deportation, along with a broader commentary on the treatment of Latin immigrants during his public encounters.
