ICE Arrests César Chávez Jr. on Cartel Affiliation and Immigration Violations
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, JUL 7 – Chávez Jr. faces deportation after overstaying his visa and submitting fraudulent residency claims; U.S. authorities link him to the Sinaloa Cartel and an active Mexican arrest warrant.
- Julio César Chávez Jr., a 39-year-old former middleweight boxing champion, was taken into custody on Wednesday in Studio City, California, for remaining in the U.S. beyond the permitted time on his visa and providing false information on an application for permanent residency.
- The arrest followed a determination by the Department of Homeland Security on June 27 and stemmed from a Mexican warrant accusing Chávez Jr. of organized crime and arms trafficking related to the Sinaloa Cartel.
- Chávez Jr. arrived in the United States in August 2023 and remained in the country beyond the validity of his visitor visa, which lapsed in February 2024. In April, he filed a green card application based on his marriage to U.S. citizen Frida Muoz, containing several false statements.
- In December 2023, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services notified ICE that Chávez Jr. posed a serious public safety risk, and Mexican officials have begun extradition procedures against him.
- Chávez Jr. faces removal from the U.S. to Mexico due to visa violations and false information on a green card application; Mexican authorities hope he serves his related legal sentence there, while his defense team has yet to issue a public statement.
