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.

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
Unsportsmanlike is putting it too mildly. It is genuinely a fascist thing to say.
There will be a LOT of visa denials to come for the games, then if you are here the week after the games, be waylaid on the way TO the airport with your bags packed and lawyer riding shotgun or be ready to loose a few months being shipped to a country you are NOT from.

It'd be more than a few months. Once you're sitting in CECOT after some ICE agent says you kind of look like you're in a gang, Mr. Bukkake will keep you there forever. Even if you can get a court to rule that your detainment is unconstitutional, that doesn't mean anything anymore.
Football fans would willingly go to a gulag to watch the World Cup. They went to Qatar without any hesitation. 99% of people don't take politics, human rights or morality into consideration when planning entertainment.
I give LA 35% odds of largely burning to the ground first.
How ironic it would be for ICE agents to start the blaze ...
Exactly.
The place is a literal tinderbox in terms of forest/brush fire risk, and its... beyond being a metaphorical tinderbox in terms of basically being a warzone...
...
In WW2, the Japanese sent mini hot air balloons up into the pacific jet stream, with rudimentary sensors, that would drop an incendiary bomb when they 'thought' they were over the US West Coast.
This didn't exactly burn down the entire West Coast, the vast majority of them failed, got blown to who the hell knows where, dropped their firebombs over the ocean, into somewhere humid, failed to detonate...
... but a few of them did actually start minor to moderate forest fires, and/or blow up on fhe ground in a curious hiker or kids face, from California up to British Columbia.
Everything is much drier and hotter now, than during WW2, and military gear, mass civil unrest... yeah, whole lotta things in that situation can potentially start an actual fire.
...
Conversely: Imagine LA in a fire scenario like last winter, started by nature or random idiots or sparking power lines, whatever, but uh now its functionally under military occupation.
They'd likely attempt to assert some kind of control over infrastructure decisions, get in the way of legitimate local govt efforts to help with the fire, who knows maybe fail to evacuate a detention center in the path of a growing fire.
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.
This is really fucked up but the silver lining is I didn't even know Jake Paul had had a fight.
Did he win?
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.

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
Also, saying this is the kind of thing that might actually get the Sinaloa Cartel to do a hit on Jake Paul.
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?
"I like it when my team engages in vigilanteism and ignoring the rule of law, not when the other team does it."
Ok... just screw Jake Paul, then. He's a piece of shit grifter
Edit: You may want to speak in complete sentences, too.
I think we should make an exception for Jake Paul though. CECOT his ass.
This case is not that wild actually. He's a terrible person and he has an active warrant in Mexico. The US has an extradition treaty with Mexico
I look forward to the football world cup. That's going to be amazing. Right after a match, ICE is going to walk onto the pitch and arrest non-white football player - if they even get into the country.
Given recent performances I think most boxing fans won't mind seeing him being escorted back across the border, and that’s not at all meant to be any sort of political stance.
