Overview

  • After his deportation at the Dennis DeConcini port of entry in Nogales, Julio César Chávez Jr. was transferred to the Cefereso 11 in Hermosillo and placed under preventive detention.
  • The FGR accuses him of organized crime tied to Los Chapitos and arms‑trafficking offenses, with a Mexican arrest warrant dating to 2023.
  • Judge Enrique Hernández Miranda granted the defense’s request to extend the constitutional term and scheduled the linkage hearing for Saturday, 23 August.
  • Chávez Jr. filed an amparo alleging deprivation of liberty and incommunicado conditions while held at the Hermosillo facility.
  • DHS and ICE highlighted bilateral cooperation, releasing photos and video of the handover, as case files reference HSI’s 2019 report on weapons acquired in Nogales, Arizona, for shipment to Mexico.
