Boxer Chavez Jr expected to be deported to Mexico to serve sentence, Sheinbaum says

Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn Images via REUTERS. NO RESALES. NO ARCHIVES/File Photo MEXICO CITY - Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Friday she expects boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Jr to be deported to Mexico to serve a sentence for arms trafficking and organized crime, after being detained in Los Angeles by U.S. immigration authorities. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said Chavez was determined to be in the country illegally last week after he made fraudulent statements on a 2024 application for permanent residence based on his marriage to a U.S. citizen. Sheinbaum, in her regular morning press conference, said Mexico has had a warrant for his arrest since 2023, stemming from an investigation initiated in 2019. She added that Mexico had failed to bring him into custody over that period as Chavez Jr had spent most of his time in the United States. "So that there is a deportation and that he can serve the sentence, that's the process the attorney general's office is working on," Sheinbaum told reporters. On Thursday, Homeland Security said the 39-year-old boxer, son of Mexican world champion fighter Julio Cesar Chavez, is suspected of having ties to Mexico's Sinaloa Cartel, which Washington has designated a foreign terrorist organization.. Michael Goldstein, a lawyer for Chavez, said more than two dozen immigration agents arrested the boxer at his home in the Studio City area of Los Angeles on Wednesday. "The current allegations are outrageous and appear to be designed as a headline to terrorize the community," Goldstein said. His family in Mexico said in a statement that they "fully trust his innocence." His wife, Frida Munoz Chavez, was previously married to the son of former Sinaloa Cartel leader Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, who is serving a life sentence in a U.S. prison. The son, Edgar, was assassinated in 2008. Sheinbaum said she did not know if Chavez Jr had links to the Sinaloa Cartel. Chavez lost to influencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul, 28, last weekend before a sold-out crowd in Anaheim, California, in a unanimous decision after 10 rounds. He won the WBC middleweight championship in 2011, but lost the title the following year. His career has been overshadowed by controversies including a suspension after testing positive for a banned substance in 2009 and a fine and suspension after testing positive for marijuana in 2013.

UN council rejects Eritrea's bid to end human rights probe
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox GENEVA -The United Nations Human Rights Council on Friday rejected a bid by Eritrea to end the mandate of a U.N. expert investigating alleged abuses in the country, in a relief to Western diplomats who feared it would set a dangerous precedent for states seeking to escape scrutiny. The motion brought by Eritrea caught many off guard and marked a rare attempt by a country subject to an investigative mandate to terminate it. It was defeated decisively, however, with just four voting for it, 25 rejecting it and 18 abstaining. A counter-motion by the European Union to extend the mandate for a year then passed comfortably. In his last report, Sudanese rights lawyer Mohamed Abdelsalam Babiker, who currently holds the U.N. expert position, described the situation in Eritrea as critical, highlighting cases of arbitrary detention and the extensive use of military service which is stoking migration. African rights group DefendDefenders welcomed the extension of his mandate, saying the U.N. expert "plays an indispensable role, not only for the victims and survivors of Eritrea's abuses, but also for the Eritrean diaspora." The delegate for the European Union said ending the mandate would have allowed "impunity and repression to deepen in silence." Eritrea's chargé d'affaires Habtom Zerai Ghirmai accused the EU of acting out of a "neo-colonial saviour mentality complex". Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

Syria ready to work with US to return to 1974 disengagement deal with Israel
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani raising the new Syrian flag at the United Nations Headquarters in New York in April 2025. DAMASCUS - Syria said on July 4 it was willing to cooperate with the United States to reimplement the 1974 disengagement agreement with Israel, which created a UN-patrolled buffer zone separating the two countries' forces. In a statement after a phone call with his US counterpart, Mr Marco Rubio, Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani expressed Damascus' 'aspiration to cooperate with the United States to return to the 1974 disengagement agreement'. Washington has been driving diplomatic efforts towards a normalisation deal between Syria and Israel, with envoy Thomas Barrack saying last week that peace between the two was now needed. Speaking to The New York Times, Mr Barrack confirmed this week that Syria and Israel were engaging in 'meaningful' US-brokered talks to end their conflict. Following the toppling of longtime Syrian ruler Bashar al-Assad in December, Israel carried out hundreds of strikes on Syria and deployed its troops into the Golan Heights buffer zone, which the UN considered a violation of the agreement. Israel has also launched hundreds of air strikes on military targets in Syria and carried out incursions deeper into the country's south. Syria's new authorities refrained from responding to the attacks and admitted to holding indirect talks with Israel to reduce tensions. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

'Iranian threat' Israel conquered around two-thirds of the Golan Heights from Syria during the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, before annexing it in 1981 in a move not recognised by any country other than the United States. A year after the 1973 war, the two reached an agreement on a disengagement line. As part of the deal, an 80km-long United Nations-patrolled buffer zone was created to the east of Israeli-occupied territory, separating it from the Syrian-controlled side. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said on June 30 that his country had an 'interest' in normalising ties with Syria and neighbouring Lebanon. He added, however, that the Golan Heights 'will remain part of the State of Israel' under any future peace agreement. Syrian state media reported on July 2 that 'statements concerning signing a peace agreement with the Israeli occupation at this time are considered premature'. During the call with Mr Rubio, Mr Shaibani received a formal invitation 'to visit Washington as soon as possible', according to the foreign ministry's statement. The two men also discussed Syrian Interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa's participation in the upcoming United Nations General Assembly, which the UN did not confirm. Mr Shaibani previously visited the UN headquarters in New York in April, where he raised Syria's new flag. He and Mr Rubio talked about 'the Iranian threat in Syria', with Damascus expressing 'its growing concern over Iran's attempts to interfere in Syrian affairs, especially following the strikes that recently targeted Tehran', referring to June's Iran-Israel war. Tehran used to enjoy significant political and military influence in Syria and provided key support for Mr Assad during the Syrian civil war that erupted in 2011. AFP
