An arrest warrant had already been issued by the Mexican authorities for charges of arms trafficking and organised crime.
Prosecutors are currently working on the case.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, Chavez Jr was arrested on July 2 in Southern California and detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
It happened just days after his fight against YouTube star Jake Paul.
The Mexican boxer lost the bout on points after 10 rounds.
He later took to Instagram to write: “I could never knock him out. I couldn’t knock out Jake Paul.
“Whoever the judges want, wins. I put on a great show and well, I hit him in the ass like I said I was going to.
“He said he was gonna drive me crazy, no, no. Here I am ready for what’s next, thank you everyone.”
Chavez Jr’s lawyer and family have rejected the accusations made against him.
The boxer won the WBC middleweight title in 2011 against Sebastian Zbik but lost it the following year to Sergio Martinez.
He tested positive for cannabis after the fight and was banned for nine months in addition to receiving a $900 fine.
Chavez Jr is the son of legendary Mexican fighter, Julio Cesar Chavez.
