ICE deports dangerous criminal alien wanted in Mexico with links to El Chapo

LOS ANGELES — ICE officers in Phoenix and Nogales deported prominent Mexican boxer and criminal illegal alien Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Aug. 18 through Arizona’s Nogales Port of Entry. Chavez was found living in Los Angeles and arrested July 3.

“Chavez is a known egregious public safety threat who had an active arrest warrant in Mexico for his involvement in organized crime and trafficking firearms, ammunition and explosives, and should never have been allowed into the United States,” said ERO Los Angeles Field Office Director Ernesto M. Santacruz Jr. “No one can come here disguised as a tourist to conduct any of type of violence or harm in the U.S. ICE will not stand for it.”
