Jake Paul opponent arrested by ICE and set for deportation days after mega-fight
Jake Paul's opponent Julio Cesar Chavez has been arrested days after his defeat and faces deportation. Just days after his underwhelming defeat, the Mexican has been detained by the ICE (United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement). Homeland Security confirmed his arrest on Thursday night for multiple alleged offences. They've now released a statement on social media confirming why the boxer had been tracked down by police. On X, @DHSgov said: "On July 2, ICE arrested Mexican boxer and criminal illegal alien Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. He is now being processed for expedited removal from the United States. "This Sinaloa Cartel affiliate has an active arrest warrant in Mexico for his involvement in organised crime and trafficking firearms, ammunitions and explosives." The organisation also underlined that the former boxer would not be given preferential treatment due to his status as an ex-world champion. They also sent a warning to other individuals and groups alleged to be breaking the law. "Under President Trump, NO ONE is above the law—including world-famous athletes," they wrote. "Our message to any cartel affiliates in the U.S. is clear: We will find you and you will face consequences. The days of unchecked cartel violence are over." Chavez Jr, son of former three-weight world champion Julio Cesar Chavez, has fought 63 times professionally. Speaking on the arrest, ICE assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin criticised authorities for previously allowing him back into America. "This Sinaloa Cartel affiliate with an active arrest warrant for trafficking guns, ammunition, and explosives was arrested by ICE," she said. "It is shocking that the previous administration flagged this criminal illegal alien as a public safety threat, but chose not to prioritise his removal and let him leave and come back into our country."

Four people injured in axe attack on German train, police say
A man on a long-distance train in southern Germany attacked and slightly injured four people with an axe before he was detained by police, authorities said. Police in Straubing said the attack happened on an ICE express train headed to the Austrian capital, Vienna, while it was between Straubing and Plattling in the southern state of Bavaria. About 500 people were on board when the attack happened, police said. About 150 police officers, firefighters and emergency personnel were deployed to the scene, police added. The railway line was closed down. Police did not immediately provide further details on the identity of the attacker or his motive, but later said that he was overpowered by fellow passengers and had also been injured. Police said that in addition to the axe, the perpetrator may also have used other weapons. The perpetrator 'is probably somewhat more seriously injured', a police spokesperson told German news agency dpa. He was in police custody and receiving medical treatment. The injured passengers were taken to nearby hospitals. According to the Bavarian Red Cross, the emergency services were alerted at around 2pm local time on Thursday, after passengers pulled the emergency brakes. The Red Cross said a special care centre was set up nearby to take care of passengers. In addition to numerous rescue services and two helicopters, psychological caregivers were deployed to help those who were not injured but might have been traumatised. German rail operator Deutsche Bahn said in a statement that 'our thoughts and sympathy are with the injured and all those who now have to come to terms with what they have experienced', and thanked the emergency services for the quick arrest of the suspect.
