Mario Guevara, a journalist with a focus on immigration issues, has been detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) since June. He was arrested while covering a ‘No Kings’ protest in Atlanta, where he was documenting the events as part of his reporting on immigration enforcement actions. Guevara’s legal team has now raised concerns that he may face deportation, which has sparked discussions about the treatment of journalists within the United States immigration system.
Before moving to the United States, Guevara worked as a reporter in El Salvador where he covered a range of issues. He has since built a following in the U.S. for his detailed coverage of immigration arrests and legal procedures. His ongoing case has drawn attention to the broader challenges faced by journalists who report on immigration issues, particularly those who may be facing increased scrutiny or legal action from U.S. immigration authorities.
