    Given recent performances I think most boxing fans won’t mind seeing him being escorted back across the border

    Am I the only one who thinks this is unsportsmanlike to say? If someone is worth fighting against inside the ring, then they’re worth fighting with outside the ring.

    The U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a statement claiming Chavez Jr has an arrest warrant back in Mexico for his alleged involvement in trafficking firearms, explosives and ammunition while he’s also being accused of being an affiliate of the Sinaloa Cartel, which has been designated as a terrorist organization under President Donald Trump.

    So is the Mexican government alleging that he’s a member of the Sinaloa Cartel, or is the Trump admin alleging that? Because the Trump admin has a track record of making those claims without evidence as an excuse to kidnap people.

      So he recently married an ex-wife of the Sinaloa Cartel. That seems to be the whole allegation. The “lied on his paperwork” claim is that he checked the box that said he wasn’t part of a cartel.

    Surely he was legal to be here for the Jake Paul fight which was only 5 days ago. This is quite a shocker. And I question why any Mexican athlete would ever want to step foot in the United States after an incident like this.

      At this point it’s they will deport you because your eyebrows look funny. No one is safe. Stay out of the states, it is a fascist shithole.

        And if you’re lucky they’ll deport you to your home country. If you’re not lucky, they may drop you in a gulag or a war zone.

      It’s entirely possible that this is because of the 3,000/day quota they were set. If they deport them rather than just let them leave then they can credit that as a ‘deportation’.

        bruh, he’s got a nicer house in LA than I’ll ever have. He doesn’t want to go to Mexico and face his warrants. That guy really wants to stay here

          Are the warrants legitimate? Are any of the claims made by DHS or ICE to be trusted? This is a legitimate question because I don’t follow boxing and just assume at this point that anything ICE/DHS says is lies.

            Yeah, apparently. Just a few hours ago Mexico had a press release saying they do have warrants for him. It’s been a rumor for the entire lead up to this fight and people (including me) were wondering WTF he was thinking with the current environment here in the US and Mexico having so much trouble the past few months with cartel violence. They gonna “martyr” him.

            edit: he’s had a checkered past. Known to dabble in drugs to the point of needing rehab, plus court ordered rehab in the USA, multiple arrests including ghost guns, general debauchery like you might expect from a nepo baby.

              So is this what’s gonna happen for every deportation going forward? The “he was no angel” narrative?

                That’s the Right’s MO. See also: any victim of police murder/brutality (eg:George Floyd), the people Kyle Rittenhouse murdered, any peaceful protesters who get assaulted, and so on.
