Given recent performances I think most boxing fans won’t mind seeing him being escorted back across the border
Am I the only one who thinks this is unsportsmanlike to say? If someone is worth fighting against inside the ring, then they’re worth fighting with outside the ring.
Unsportsmanlike is putting it too mildly. It is genuinely a fascist thing to say.
Yes, that also caught me as a bizarre thing to say. Sadly low bar for sports journalism
big if true, small if false
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a statement claiming Chavez Jr has an arrest warrant back in Mexico for his alleged involvement in trafficking firearms, explosives and ammunition while he’s also being accused of being an affiliate of the Sinaloa Cartel, which has been designated as a terrorist organization under President Donald Trump.
So is the Mexican government alleging that he’s a member of the Sinaloa Cartel, or is the Trump admin alleging that? Because the Trump admin has a track record of making those claims without evidence as an excuse to kidnap people.
So he recently married an ex-wife of the Sinaloa Cartel. That seems to be the whole allegation. The “lied on his paperwork” claim is that he checked the box that said he wasn’t part of a cartel.

Football fans would willingly go to a gulag to watch the World Cup. They went to Qatar without any hesitation. 99% of people don’t take politics, human rights or morality into consideration when planning entertainment.
I give LA 35% odds of largely burning to the ground first.
How ironic it would be for ICE agents to start the blaze …
Exactly.
The place is a literal tinderbox in terms of forest/brush fire risk, and its… beyond being a metaphorical tinderbox in terms of basically being a warzone…
…
In WW2, the Japanese sent mini hot air balloons up into the pacific jet stream, with rudimentary sensors, that would drop an incendiary bomb when they ‘thought’ they were over the US West Coast.
This didn’t exactly burn down the entire West Coast, the vast majority of them failed, got blown to who the hell knows where, dropped their firebombs over the ocean, into somewhere humid, failed to detonate…
… but a few of them did actually start minor to moderate forest fires, and/or blow up on fhe ground in a curious hiker or kids face, from California up to British Columbia.
Everything is much drier and hotter now, than during WW2, and military gear, mass civil unrest… yeah, whole lotta things in that situation can potentially start an actual fire.
…
Conversely: Imagine LA in a fire scenario like last winter, started by nature or random idiots or sparking power lines, whatever, but uh now its functionally under military occupation.
They’d likely attempt to assert some kind of control over infrastructure decisions, get in the way of legitimate local govt efforts to help with the fire, who knows maybe fail to evacuate a detention center in the path of a growing fire.
I can’t wait for the inglourious bastardsing of ICE agents.
Why wait?
Surely he was legal to be here for the Jake Paul fight which was only 5 days ago. This is quite a shocker. And I question why any Mexican athlete would ever want to step foot in the United States after an incident like this.
At this point it’s they will deport you because your eyebrows look funny. No one is safe. Stay out of the states, it is a fascist shithole.
And if you’re lucky they’ll deport you to your home country. If you’re not lucky, they may drop you in a gulag or a war zone.
It’s entirely possible that this is because of the 3,000/day quota they were set. If they deport them rather than just let them leave then they can credit that as a ‘deportation’.
bruh, he’s got a nicer house in LA than I’ll ever have. He doesn’t want to go to Mexico and face his warrants. That guy really wants to stay here
Are the warrants legitimate? Are any of the claims made by DHS or ICE to be trusted? This is a legitimate question because I don’t follow boxing and just assume at this point that anything ICE/DHS says is lies.
Yeah, apparently. Just a few hours ago Mexico had a press release saying they do have warrants for him. It’s been a rumor for the entire lead up to this fight and people (including me) were wondering WTF he was thinking with the current environment here in the US and Mexico having so much trouble the past few months with cartel violence. They gonna “martyr” him.
edit: he’s had a checkered past. Known to dabble in drugs to the point of needing rehab, plus court ordered rehab in the USA, multiple arrests including ghost guns, general debauchery like you might expect from a nepo baby.
So is this what’s gonna happen for every deportation going forward? The “he was no angel” narrative?
That’s the Right’s MO. See also: any victim of police murder/brutality (eg:George Floyd), the people Kyle Rittenhouse murdered, any peaceful protesters who get assaulted, and so on.
That’s the Right’s MO.
Which is why it’s represented on lemmy.
America is a Nazi state.
Can we deport Jake Paul, please?
How about we stop deporting people don’t like, whether they are white, brown, purple, or Jake Paul?
Is it ok to deport the people who baselessly deport other people?
I hope they achieve that no one will ever want to come to shithole USA.
I can of course only speak for myself, but I can assure you, there’s no fucking way in hell I’ll ever go there.
This is really fucked up but the silver lining is I didn’t even know Jake Paul had had a fight.
I was going to pirate it but then I just sort of forgot
And nothing of value was lost.
