Julio César Chávez Jr. Breaks Silence on Arrest, Denies Trafficking Ties

He remains on provisional release in Mexico with monthly check-ins, awaiting a November 24 hearing.

Overview

  • In a TUDN interview, Chávez Jr. recounted his July 2 ICE detention in California, saying five patrol cars intercepted him before he was booked into a provisional jail.
  • ICE’s ERO Phoenix said it removed him to Mexico in mid-August, publicly describing him as a fugitive wanted for weapons trafficking.
  • After being handed to the FGR in Nogales and transferred to CEFERESO No. 11 in Hermosillo, he obtained conditional freedom on August 25.
  • A federal judge in Sonora allowed him to face proceedings out of custody, finding the evidence presented was insufficient to keep him jailed.
