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.
or they feed you to the alligators which seems to be their new toy.
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.
For overrated nepo baby fighters? Lets hope so!
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.

America is a Nazi state.
Wonder how much of a shitshow the World Cup is going to be? Nobody is going to want to go to the US to play if they could wind up in some gulag.
Or perhaps the best vehicle to ship in "soccer teams" that are a first wave strike force of freedom. D-Day just got cleats.
I give LA 35% odds of largely burning to the ground first.
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
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 Amy 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.
Gotta use up that budget somehow!
I’m in disbelief that someone with as much character as Jake Paul would be fraternizing with a miscreant such as that
Also, saying this is the kind of thing that might actually get the Sinaloa Cartel to do a hit on Jake Paul.
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
I can't wait for the inglourious bastardsing of ICE agents.
Someone definitely had a lot of money bet on him and is mad they lost it
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
Ok... just screw Jake Paul, then. He's a piece of shit grifter
Edit: You may want to speak in complete sentences, too.
they forgot a single word, fam. why don't you -
I think we should make an exception for Jake Paul though. CECOT his ass.
Only if it's a two for one deal with Logan Paul.
