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