Boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Jr arrested by US immigration

# US immigration agents have arrested the famed Mexican boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Junior and plan to deport him to Mexico.  US officials say the 39-year-old has an active arrest warrant in Mexico for his involvement with the notorious Sinaloa drug cartel. The former middleweight world champion was defeated by influencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul at a match in California a week before his arrest. In a statement following his arrest, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security said under president Trump, no one is above the law, including world-famous athletes.
