Julio César Chávez, the former Mexican boxing champion, said Monday that his son — arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement last week for overstaying his visa and lying on a green card application — “is not a criminal,” and vowed to fight the Trump administration’s allegations.
Chávez Jr., who followed his father’s footsteps in the boxing ring, was arrested on July 2 for the purpose of deportation to Mexico. In his home country, the son is facing organized crime charges.
