(After fighting Jake Paul on Saturday) Julio Cesar Chavez Jr arrested by ICE, facing immediate deportation
Chavez Jr appears to be headed towards a permanent one-way flight to Mexico.

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.
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.

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?
Only the high profile ones
Because the low profile ones don't make the news.
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.
That’s the Right’s MO.
Which is why it's represented on lemmy.
For overrated nepo baby fighters? Lets hope so!
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.
or they feed you to the alligators which seems to be their new toy.
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.
