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.

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.
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?
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.
Only the high profile ones
Because the low profile ones don't make the news.

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.
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.
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.

Given recent performances I think most boxing fans won't mind seeing him being escorted back across the border
Am I the only one who thinks this is unsportsmanlike to say? If someone is worth fighting against inside the ring, then they're worth fighting with outside the ring.
Yes, that also caught me as a bizarre thing to say. Sadly low bar for sports journalism
big if true, small if false
Unsportsmanlike is putting it too mildly. It is genuinely a fascist thing to say.
America is a Nazi state.
I can't wait for the inglourious bastardsing of ICE agents.
I hope they achieve that no one will ever want to come to shithole USA.
I can of course only speak for myself, but I can assure you, there's no fucking way in hell I'll ever go there.
It took me a few attempts, but i eventually got what you meant by steal fur lol
Oops. Thanks for the heads up.

This is really fucked up but the silver lining is I didn't even know Jake Paul had had a fight.
I was going to pirate it but then I just sort of forgot
And nothing of value was lost.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a statement claiming Chavez Jr has an arrest warrant back in Mexico for his alleged involvement in trafficking firearms, explosives and ammunition while he’s also being accused of being an affiliate of the Sinaloa Cartel
Assuming that any of that is true (and I guess it is as this would come from Mexico, not trump) then this is actually someone that any country would want to deport. Hell, Mexico would want to deport this piece of trash.
That is, again, if the above is correct
You would think they would've have let him come into the country knowing all that? It's not like he crossed the Rio Grande to fight Jake Paul.
He lives in Mexico. He would have left on his own. It's unclear why ICE felt the need to get involved.

I’m in disbelief that someone with as much character as Jake Paul would be fraternizing with a miscreant such as that

Can we deport Jake Paul, please?
How about we stop deporting people don't like, whether they are white, brown, purple, or Jake Paul?
Is it ok to deport the people who baselessly deport other people?
Someone's asking the right questions

Did he win?
No. He wasn't meant to. But Jake Paul took some serious punches in the later rounds.

Someone definitely had a lot of money bet on him and is mad they lost it
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a statement claiming Chavez Jr has an arrest warrant back in Mexico for his alleged involvement in trafficking firearms, explosives and ammunition while he’s also being accused of being an affiliate of the Sinaloa Cartel, which has been designated as a terrorist organization under President Donald Trump.
So is the Mexican government alleging that he's a member of the Sinaloa Cartel, or is the Trump admin alleging that? Because the Trump admin has a track record of making those claims without evidence as an excuse to kidnap people.
So he recently married an ex-wife of the Sinaloa Cartel. That seems to be the whole allegation. The "lied on his paperwork" claim is that he checked the box that said he wasn't part of a cartel.
