In 2012, he was convicted of drunken driving in Los Angeles and sentenced to 13 days in jail. Then in January 2024, he was arrested on gun charges. Police said he possessed two AR-style ghost rifles. He was later freed on a $50,000 bond and on condition he went to a residential drug treatment facility. The case is still pending, with Chávez reporting his progress regularly.


Homeland Security said Chávez submitted multiple fraudulent statements when he applied for permanent residency on April 2, 2024, based on his marriage to a U.S. citizen, Frida Muñoz.

Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office said that an arrest warrant against “Julio “C was issued in March 2023 in an investigation of organized crime and arms trafficking allegations, and that Mexico initiated extradition proceedings on Thursday.


Don't know if he's guilty of the guns, organized crime, and arms trafficking. But he should answer the charges, and the most serious ones are in Mexico, the country that, itself, claims to have initiated the extradition--which must begin with detention.
