00:00A week ago he was fighting Jake Paul, now he's fighting deportation.
00:07Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. was arrested at his home Wednesday by two dozen immigration agents
00:14in the Studio City area of Los Angeles.
00:18He is accused of entering the US illegally last week
00:21and making fraudulent statements on an application for permanent residence.
00:26The Department of Homeland Security also links him to the Sinaloa Cartel,
00:31designated a terrorist organization by the US government.
00:35His lawyers have called the allegations outrageous.
00:38In Mexico, this newspaper seller is following the case.
00:43I think that the US government, in this case Donald Trump, is up to something.
00:48He wants something to attract media attention because he is doing things wrong in his country.
00:53So he wants, since this guy is from Culiacan,
00:56I think they want to link him to drug trafficking to Los Chapitos.
01:00He's married to a US citizen, Frida Muñoz Chavez,
01:05who was previously married to the son of the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel,
01:09known by the nickname El Chapo.
01:12Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. has an outstanding warrant in Mexico
01:17on charges of weapons trafficking and links to organized crime.
01:22And just those links are enough for some.
01:26I believe that there is some kind of link because I believe Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
01:30has a relationship with a relative of El Chapo Guzman, ex-leader of the Sinaloa Cartel.
01:35So I believe that there must be some connection between him and drug trafficking.
01:40The high-profile detention of Chavez Jr. comes as the Trump administration struggles
01:46to enforce its policy of deporting undocumented immigrants,
01:51amid political protests, difficulties in mating their own quotas and court challenges.
