Julio Cesar Chavez Jr yes, the son of boxing royalty folks was detained by ICE in Studio City just four days now this is just four days after his fight with Jake Paul in Anaheim, california. So here's what we know so far about this right. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr fought Jake Paul on June 28th. On July 2nd, ice pulled up and arrested him. He's now facing expedited removal and that's basically saying he's getting deported on a fast forward. And let's break down here where he has Right now. The back story is he entered the US on a tourist visa in August of 2023. But that visa expired on February of 2024. In April of 2024, he applied for a green card through marriage, but then ICE you know, they flagged it for fraudulent statements and possible I might be pronouncing this wrong folks Sinaloa cartel ties. He also has an active arrest warrant in Mexico for trafficking weapons, ammo and explosives. So this isn't just a visa mix up, it's a national security issue, you know. So it's just like a real serious situation, and what happened after that is Department of Homeland Security. They labeled him an egregious public safety threat back in December of 2024. But he got through anyway back in January of 2025 under discretionary parole, and now they're saying enough is enough. So now, what Now? What do you think is going to happen? Right now he's in ICE custody and he's awaiting court. The hearings are set for Monday on a previous related illegal weapons charge. So this is a pretty fluid story. It just actually just broke and I wanted to just tap in to see what you guys thought about this.
