Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, son of the legendary former Mexican boxing champion, was arrested on July 2 in Studio City, California, by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. The arrest occurred after the fight against Jake Paul where he lost. The arrest warrant is still in force in Mexico and is for accusations of alleged links with the Sinaloa Cartel.
According to information from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the junior is in the process of being deported and has been classified as a “threat to public safety”. This situation is under review because he entered the country with an expired visa and his connection to the cartel is through his wife Frida Munoz, who is the partner of one of Chapo Guzman’s sons.
Julio César Chávez Jr. was arrested in California for alleged affiliation with the Sinaloa Cartel
What did Julio Cesar Chavez Jr do for the Sinaloa Cartel, according to the FGR?
The Attorney General’s Office (FGR) links the boxer directly to Nestor Ernesto Perez Salas, aka “El Nini”, alleged security chief of the Sinaloa Cartel. This is due to telephone calls recorded between December 2021 and June 2022 that place him in situations of violence.
According to reports from the FGR, “El Nini” had ordered members of rival groups to be physically punished, who were tied up and hung like a punching bag and were beaten by JC Chavez, so he would be an active collaborator in intimidation operations of the criminal group.
Why does JC Chavez’s legal and immigration history worsen his situation in the United States?
Chavez Jr’s situation has antecedents such as his entry into the United States in 2023 with a legal visa, but it expired in 2024 and he applied for permanent residence after marrying Frida Munoz, who had a relationship with Edgar Guzman and the authorities consider this connection in the evaluation of his immigration profile.
In addition, the former champion faces criminal records for driving under the influence of alcohol in 2012 and January 2024 and a conviction for possession of weapons, despite this situation he managed to enter the United States in 2025 for his fight against Jake Paul and is now being investigated by DHS and ICE.

Athlete NIL Deals with Collectives Being Rejected By New Agency
The new agency in charge of regulating name, image, likeness deals in college sports sent a letter to schools Thursday saying it had rejected deals between players and donor-backed collectives formed over the past several years to funnel money to athletes or their schools.Those arrangements hold no "valid business purpose," the memo said, and don't adhere to rules that call for outside NIL deals to be between players and companies that provide goods or services to the general public for profit.The letter to Division I athletic directors could be the next step in shuttering today's version of the collective, groups that are closely affiliated with schools and that, in the early days of NIL after July 2021, proved the most efficient way for schools to indirectly cut deals with players.Since then, the landscape has changed yet again with the $2.8 […]

Jesse Winker’s $7.5M deal turns sour as injury-plagued season derails his Mets debut
Jesse Winker's anticipated return to the New York Mets was meant to inject much-needed energy into a struggling lineup. However, what was supposed to be a hopeful comeback lasted barely a single at-bat.After sitting out more than two months due to an oblique injury, Winker was finally activated and slotted into the lineup for the first MLB game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles.Given the Mets' ongoing battle with injuries and their fight to secure a wild-card spot, his presence was a much-needed boost. Unfortunately, the optimism was short-lived.Winker came up to bat at the top of the first inning but flied out harmlessly. Yet, something felt off. By the time his next plate appearance was due, Mark Vientos was already at the plate, signaling the end of Winker's day. Reports quickly surfaced that the veteran designated hitter was […]
