Mexican boxer, Julio César Chávez Jr., don enter serious gbege as U.S. immigration officers (ICE) don arrest am and dem plan to deport am go back to Mexico because of alleged connection to cartel wahala and other violations, according to wetin U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) yarn.
Chávez Jr., wey be pikin of legendary boxer Julio César Chávez, enter America with tourist visa around August 2023, but the visa expire since February 2024.
According to DHS, Chávez Jr. still lie for him recent immigration application, and he even get active arrest warrant for Mexico for him alleged involvement in:
- Organized crime
- Trafficking of guns, bullets, and explosives
Him lawyer tell Associated Press say the allegations na “outrageous” and just another way to “spread fear” among people.
In April 2024, the boxer apply for permanent residence through marriage to one U.S. citizen. But DHS come talk say the woman wey him marry get connection to the Sinaloa drug cartel through one of her old relationships with one of El Chapo’s sons (wey don die).
Even though dem allow am enter U.S. again on January 4, government later talk say he dey stay illegally, and say dem fit deport am by June 27.

One top DHS official, Tricia McLaughlin, still blast the former U.S. government, say:
“This guy wey dey affiliated with Sinaloa Cartel and get arrest warrant for trafficking weapons, na ICE don finally arrest am. The shocking thing be say the previous government know say this guy na threat, but dem still allow am leave and come back.”
She add:
“Under President Trump, nobody dey above the law—even if you be world-famous athlete. Any cartel member for this country, we go find una and una go face punishment. The era of cartel people doing anyhow for U.S. don end.”
