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.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Nah, this one makes complete sense if there were warrants out for his arrest in Mexico. We have extradition laws with Mexico (and most every other country in the Americas). Which is why we know most of these deportations are bologna. If someone actually had a warrant out for their arrest and was arrested for anything in the U.S. they would have been flagged for extradition when their ID was taken. If we couldn't correctly ID them, then there was no way for the U.S. to suddenly claim they had charges against them in another country. Any way you put it together, the executive branch is lying.

[–] RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

He was standing with the president of Mexico as recently as 2 weeks ago. The idea that he had a warrant out for his arrest at that time is clearly bogus.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has announced she expects boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Jr to soon be deported from the United States to serve a sentence for arms trafficking and organised crime.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 59 minutes ago

I think Mexico might have a problem with orginized crime, but hey who doesn't! Certainly not america....

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

So Mexico is lying as well now then, that's not good. Because Mexico confirmed it from what we know right?

[–] RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I've heard nothing from either government yet. Still currently accusations, no results no evidence. A lot of people connecting some dots, which are that Chavez Jr is recently married to an ex of the El Chapo family, and maybe this is meant to be some sort of example by the Trump admin for whataver reason. If you look back on Chavez Jr's history, he's basically a young rich kid in Mexico and that meant hanging out with the other young rich kids including the rich kids of crime families. Which he's now marrying an in-law of.

President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico said on Friday that she expects the prominent boxer Julio César Chávez Jr. to be deported to Mexico to face charges of organized crime and arms trafficking

This shit is truly insane. He's not changed anything about his life recently besides fighting Jake Paul.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

So are you claiming mexico is lying? Or Mexico is telling the truth? Or the U.S is lying, which Mexico said was false

[–] RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

This weapons charge would surely have been a problem when he fought Jake Paul 4 days prior, right? Why do you think it is suddenly a problem afterwards?

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Did it make the U.S. money before the fight?

[–] RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

It sold out an arena in Anaheim. So yes it made money. I heard Chavez Jr. was guaranteed 750k with about ~$3mil bonus based on the PPV sales. PPV money is notorious slow and takes ~2 months to be received.

[–] BeBopaLula@piefed.ca 105 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] BeBopaLula@piefed.ca 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

or they feed you to the alligators which seems to be their new toy.

Slavers used slave children for alligator bait.

[–] LilB0kChoy@midwest.social 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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'.

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] LilB0kChoy@midwest.social 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 14 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

So is this what's gonna happen for every deportation going forward? The "he was no angel" narrative?

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 8 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Because the low profile ones don't make the news.

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 8 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

That’s the Right’s MO.

Which is why it's represented on lemmy.

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works -2 points 18 hours ago

For overrated nepo baby fighters? Lets hope so!

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago

It's complicated. He's not just some worker snatched off the street. They are, of course, saying he lied on his Green Card application but I have no idea if that's true. However, he has active arrest warrants in Mexico and married a cartel widow to apply for his Green Card.

He's shady, but IMO isn't like a "threat" threat.
