Julio César Chávez Jr. arrested by ICE 4 days after Jake Paul loss

Former WBC middleweight champion Julio César Chávez Jr. was arrested in California by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Wednesday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said Thursday in a statement. The Mexican boxer lost to Jake Paul via unanimous decision on Saturday, a splashy headlining bout that was carried on Netflix as Paul sought to bolster his earning power and legitimacy in the sport. Advertisement According to DHS, the fight took place one day after Chávez was determined to be in the country illegally. The agency added in its statement that it believed that Chávez was an affiliate of the Sinaloa Cartel, the criminal network known for producing and distributing illicit drugs on a mass scale while also wielding power through violence and intimidation. Chávez's managers did not respond to a request for comment. 'Chávez is a Mexican citizen who has an active arrest warrant in Mexico for his involvement in organized crime and trafficking firearms, ammunition, and explosives,' the DHS said in its statement. The agency said that Chávez was connected with the cartel through his spouse, who was previously connected with the son of Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman, according to the statement. The Sinaloa Cartel was deemed a Foreign Terrorist Organization by President Donald Trump, DHS said. According to the agency's statement, Chávez was allowed to reenter the United States in January on a temporary basis, but was found to have made multiple fraudulent statements on an application to become a permanent resident. After his arrest, Chavez is being processed for expedited removal from the United States. It was not immediately clear how the fight was allowed to happen or whether those involved with the bout were aware of the agency's perspectives on Chávez's immigration status. Paul's Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), which organized the fight, did not respond to a request for comment. The California State Athletic Commission (CSAC), which licensed the fighters, did not respond to a request for comment. It was not clear whether the arrest could affect the fight purses for the bout. Chávez, 39, fell to 54-7-1 with Saturday night's loss. He is a son of boxing legend Julio César Chávez, and rose to fame by winning the WBC middleweight title in 2011 and defending it three times. In 2017, he fought Canelo Álvarez to a unanimous decision loss.

Philadelphia aims to control trash pileups ahead of holiday weekend as city workers strike continues

A strike by nearly 10,000 city workers in Philadelphia stretched into a third day Thursday as trash piled up in some areas and more than 30 Medical Examiner's Office staffers were ordered back to work because of a growing backlog of bodies in storage. The latest talks between the city and leaders of District Council 33 — the largest of four major unions representing city workers — ended late Wednesday without a deal, and no new talks were scheduled for Thursday. Both sides have said they were willing to continue negotiations. The union represents many of the city's blue-collar workers, from trash collectors to clerks to security guards. Police and firefighters are not on strike. Economic matters remain the major issue, but District 33 President Greg Boulware has said there are also 'a lot of work rule situations that we still have not worked through.' The union also seeks some flexibility on the city residency requirement for workers. The city has offered a three-year contract with annual raises of about 3%, which the union said amounts to little more than $1,000 after taxes for members making $46,000 a year on average. Mayor Cherelle Parker has said the city has 'put its best offer on the table.' She stressed that the effective 13% pay hike over her four-year term -- including last year's 5% bump – along with a fifth step on the pay scale would be the best contract the union has seen in decades. Legal wrangling over the walkout also continued Thursday, when Common Pleas Court Judge Sierra Thomas-Street approved the city's request to have the medical examiner's office staffers return to work because bodies have been piling up there in storage, posing a health and safety risk. Those workers include death and forensic investigators, forensic technicians and clerks. The order came a day after the judge ordered some emergency service dispatchers and essential water department employees back to work. Mounting trash piles in some parts of the city were also still causing grief for residents and officials, who on Thursday strongly urged residents to follow the collection guidelines imposed when the strike began Tuesday. They also urged residents to report problems at the trash collection sites, and noted trash is being cleared as fast as possible and the city is working to open more sites.
