"Ask any DHS or ICE official and they'll explain what happened."

Unfortunately, I say as a true-born American patriot, ex-paratrooper, and ex-Republican: I would no longer trust a single word anyone in DHS or ICE said, unless that was: "PUT YOUR HEAD DOWN! YOU'RE UNDER ARREST! GET THE FUCK IN THE CAR NOW!"

"There are places where cops are respected, Captain. But in those places you wouldn't be a cop." (Raymond Chandler, in "The Long Goodbye" (1953))

These articles make me laugh. You don’t need “inside information” to understand what happened here. Ask any DHS or ICE official and they’ll explain what happened.

As DHS advised, and the article points out, an administrative order was given on the 27th (Friday) declaring him removable. Keep in mind, he did not have warrants, he wasn’t being charged with a crime. He’d also been in the country since August of 2023—nearly two years. So, he’s not considered a national security or safety threat to the United States.

The ERO Field Office received the communication and executed the apprehension three days later. Again, nothing at all unusual given to the circumstances.

This pig Lou DiBella is full for shit. It’s also laughable considering the same people criticizing the ICE/ ERO timeline would suggest Trump was using his office to benefit Dana White had ERO picked him up before the PPV event.

Mean to tell me that this current administration isn't interested in targeting certain individuals that fit a certain profile, demonstrating their tough-on-crime advertising campaigns?

JCC Jr. is *exactly* the kind of high-profile target to politically make an example out of. His whereabouts were known, as you note in your reply. He was in Anaheim for weigh-ins and the fight!

Which is why his non-arrest before the prize fight is worthy of discussion. California got their gate cut. Jake and Nakisa presumably got paid.

Following the money always leads to interesting questions.

Wait… I’m confused. You mention the CA take. So, now his arrest is a conspiracy involving Gavin Newsom and Donald Trump??? That’s an interesting take. I suppose you also think an administrative detainer results in an ALL POINTS BULLETIN for every ICE agent in a 500 mile radius. 😂😂😂 It’s interesting because this deportation order began under Biden. Then you had the President of Mexico demanding immediate extradition to face criminal charges in his home country. Maybe they’re all in on it. 😂😂😂 I’ll pose this question again since it was conveniently ignored. What would you have said had Trump “ordered” his removal before the fight? The PPV numbers were trash anyway but how would you spin that? Trump helping his buddy Dana with the full force of the United States government? 🇺🇸 😂😂 🥴🥴

You really think Gavin Newsom is all up in the CA Athletic Commission's business? Zero chance unless it's a really big deal.

How much does DHS pay trolls?

Wow. So, any paying subscriber that disagrees with an editorial is a troll, Nate? I don’t even know how to respond to that. Very 1st Amendment of you.
