Sheinbaum Faults U.S. Plea Deal With Ovidio Guzmán as Chávez Jr. Awaits Deportation

Sheinbaum rebuked the U.S. Justice Department for striking a plea deal with Ovidio Guzmán after labeling Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations. She insisted that Guzmán remains subject to a Mexican arrest warrant and called for coordination with the Fiscalía General de la República on evidence and trial proceedings. Addressing Julio César Chávez Jr.’s case, the president denied any government favoritism and emphasized that allegations require proof before formal investigations proceed. An initial U.S. hearing left Chávez Jr. in ICE custody pending his deportation despite multiple Mexican amparos seeking his provisional release. Attorney General Alejandro Gertz Manero revealed that Mexico requested U.S. cooperation on the Chávez Jr. investigation over a year ago but received no response until the recent arrest.
