had been arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The post may look innocent, but the timing just after Jake Paul defeated Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in a boxing match and right around Independence Day made fans raise eyebrows. Was Jake Paul simply celebrating America, or was he celebrating Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.'s arrest?
What did Jake Paul do after Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.'s ICE arrest
On Wednesday, July 2, 2025, ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) detained Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.,
39 years old, in Studio City, California. Just a few days before, on June 29, he had lost a boxing match against Jake Paul in Anaheim.
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. was arrested based on serious legal issues. U.S. immigration officials stated that he overstayed a B2 tourist visa, made false statements in his green card application, but also had an active warrant in Mexico, and the circumstances surrounding this warrant were embossed in alleged organized crime, arms trafficking, and associations to the Sinaloa Cartel.
Soon after the arrest was made public by TMZ, Jake Paul posted an American flag emoji on his official X account. He gave no explanation but followed it up with a post that read,
'Canelo is next,'
referring to superstar Mexican boxer Saul
'Canelo'
Alvarez. Many fans and reporters believe Jake Paul's post was meant to mock Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.'s arrest, especially since he had just beaten him in the ring days before.

is the son of the great Mexican boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. Chavez Jr. was a WBC middleweight world champion at one time but has a larger career than being a champion.
He was arrested by ICE agents on July 2nd for immigration violations and for being affiliated with the Sinaloa Cartel. Chavez Jr. had applied for U.S. permanent residency in 2024, but U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services flagged him as an
'egregious public safety threat.'
Officials also say Chavez Jr.'s wife, Frida Munoz, has connections to criminal organizations. Now, the U.S. is moving forward with deportation. With Jake Paul's post gaining attention, some wonder if Canelo Alvarez could truly be his next target.
