US immigration agents have arrested famed Mexican boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, 39, and plan to deport him to Mexico where he has “an active arrest warrant… for his involvement in organised crime”, US officials announced on Thursday. . . .
The DHS statement said that the “prominent Mexican boxer and criminal illegal alien” is being processed for “expedited removal.” . . .
“Chavez is a Mexican citizen who has an active arrest warrant in Mexico for his involvement in organized crime and trafficking firearms, ammunition, and explosives,” the statement said. . . .
Describing the alleged connection, the statement says he applied for US permanent residency last year due to his marriage to a US citizen “who is connected to the Sinaloa Cartel through a prior relationship with the now-deceased son of the infamous cartel leader Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman”. . . .
In January 2024, he was arrested and later convicted for illegal possession of an assault weapon, officials said.
In 2023, a local judge in the US issued an arrest warrant against him for allegedly trafficking weapons for a criminal organisation. Nearly a decade eearlier, in 2012, he was arrested for driving without a license under the influence drugs or alcohol.
He also allegedly made multiple fraudulent statements to US immigration authorities in his attempts to gain permanent residency and over-stayed a tourist visa that expired last February. . . .
