Federal immigration authorities detained Mexican boxer Julio César Chávez Jr. on Wednesday outside his residence in the Studio City area of Los Angeles.

According to a statement released on Thursday by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the arrest was carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents pursuant to an active arrest warrant issued in Mexico.

ICE alleges that the 39-year-old WBC middleweight world champion is implicated in organized criminal activities, including the trafficking of firearms, ammunition, and explosives. Additionally, the DHS says that Chávez is affiliated with the Sinaloa Cartel, which has been designated as a foreign terrorist group by President Donald Trump.

Michael A. Goldstein, Chávez’s attorney, referred to the serious cartel allegations as “outrageous and simply another headline to terrorize the community.”

According to Goldstein, more than 25 federal agents surrounded Chávez’s home on Wednesday. “They blocked off his street and took him into custody without informing his family,” he added in a statement.

The DHS also noted that Chávez is being processed “for expedited removal from the United States.”
