Every day, more details are emerging about the judicial status of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. after he was detained by ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) on Wednesday, July 2, on charges of active involvement with the Sinaloa Cartel.
The one who is now entering the fray is prosecutor Alejandro Gertz Manero who, at the request of the press, clarified what the situation of the boxer would be if he is deported by the United States to Mexico
The prosecutor clarified that he received up to six requests made by the boxer’s defense in the form of judicial appeals for ‘El Cesar del Boxeo’‘s son to be released if he sets foot on Mexican soil again.
Gertz Manero was clear in informing that all these requests were denied to Chavez Jr. for the simple reason that the individual has an arrest warrant issued by the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) against this subject, so it is not appropriate to adopt these precautionary measures because the detainee is still under the jurisdiction of U.S. Justice.
Although Chavez Jr.’s legal defense is optimistic that the boxer will regain his freedom, his legal situation is more complicated than it might seem, as the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service had already had him in its sights since December 2024 when he was declared “a serious threat to public safety,” but his case was not a priority for further investigation.
