Julio C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez Jr. Arrested and Faces Deportation to Mexico<\/h2>\n\nThe renowned Mexican boxer, Julio C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez Jr., has been arrested in the United States for exceeding the duration of his visa and for allegedly lying on his permanent resident card application. Federal authorities have confirmed that he will be deported to Mexico, where he faces charges related to organized crime.\n\nThe detention occurred a few days after Ch\u00e1vez Jr. lost a fight against influencer and boxer Jake Paul in Anaheim, California. According to the Department of Homeland Security, it was determined that Ch\u00e1vez Jr. should be arrested on June 27, a day before the fight. The reason for the delay in the action has not been specified.\n\nThe arrest took place on Wednesday, when federal agents detained Ch\u00e1vez Jr. while he was riding a scooter near his residence in the exclusive Studio City neighborhood of Los Angeles, according to his lawyer, Michael Goldstein.\n\n\n

The current accusations are outrageous and simply another headline to terrorize the community.<\/p>Michael Goldstein, Julio C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez Jr.’s lawyer<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nCh\u00e1vez Jr.’s family issued a statement expressing their support for the boxer, trusting in his innocence and requesting that the competent authorities carry out their work without external pressure.\n\nCh\u00e1vez Jr., 39, has had a career marked by ups and downs, often struggling with addiction. In 2012, he was convicted of driving under the influence and in January 2024, he was arrested for weapons possession. Currently, the weapons possession case is still pending.\n\nImmigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) authorities detained Chavez Jr. for overstaying a tourist visa he obtained in August 2023, which expired in February 2024. Furthermore, it is alleged that he submitted fraudulent statements when applying for permanent residency in April 2024, based on his marriage to Frida Mu\u00f1oz, who is the mother of a granddaughter of the drug trafficker Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman.\n\nU.S. authorities believe that Ch\u00e1vez Jr. is linked to the powerful Sinaloa Cartel. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) alerted ICE about Ch\u00e1vez Jr. on December 17, noting that he posed a threat to public safety, however, he was allowed to return to the country without a visa on January 4.\n\nThe Attorney General’s Office of the Republic of Mexico issued an arrest warrant against “Julio C” in March 2023, in connection with an investigation into organized crime and arms trafficking. Mexico has initiated extradition proceedings.\n\nCh\u00e1vez Jr. had declared to be clean before his fight with Paul and was in good physical shape. Before the fight, the boxer and his trainers were concerned about immigration-related detentions.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
