During her regular news briefing on Friday, Sheinbaum mentioned the charges Chavez faces for drug and arms trafficking and stated, “I hope he will be deported and serve the sentence in Mexico.”
According to his lawyer Michael Goldstein, the 39-year-old boxer was hauled up by numerous federal officials on Wednesday while he was riding a scooter in front of a house in the affluent Studio City neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Days had passed since the former middleweight champion’s match versus the influencer-turned-boxer in Anaheim, California, when he was arrested.
Chavez divided his time between the two nations. According to the U.S., Chvez was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials for exceeding the duration of a tourist visa that he had obtained in August 2023 and that had expired in February 2024.
According to the bureau, Chvez made several false claims when he applied for permanent residence on April 2, 2024, claiming to be married to Frida Mu oz, a U.S. citizen. The imprisoned Sinaloa cartel kingpin Joaquin El Chapo Guzman has a grandchild that she is the mother of.
According to U.S. officials, he is thought to have connections to the powerful, who are held responsible for a large amount of drug-related crime in Mexico.
