Journalist Mario Guevara Deported to El Salvador After Being Detained by ICE for Over 100 Days

Journalist Mario Guevara was deported to El Salvador on Friday after being detained by ICE for over 100 days. Guevara, who founded the outlet MG News, where he received awards for his coverage on immigration, has lived in the United States for nearly 20 years. He was arrested and jailed in June for live-streaming an anti-Trump “No Kings” demonstration near Atlanta. Guevara spoke to reporters in El Salvador. Mario Guevara: “Maybe I made a mistake, but I did it for my family. I did it because I held on, because I had hope. I trusted in the United States justice system, because it had always been fair to me. I trusted the United States, right? One of its slogans in the pledge to the flag is 'liberty and justice for all.' That no longer exists. Liberty and justice is only for American citizens. … Journalists who are American citizens can do the work. A journalist like me who is an immigrant with a work permit, no. That’s the new reality in the United States.”

Spanish-language journalist who worked in Georgia deported to El Salvador

A Spanish-language journalist who lived and worked in Georgia has been deported to El Salvador. Mario Guevara was detained in June while covering a protest near Atlanta. Local police arrested him and handed him over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. On Wednesday, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals declined to halt his deportation order. All criminal charges against him were dismissed, and his lawyers argued he was being targeted for his journalism work. Guevara fled El Salvador two decades ago and built a large audience in Atlanta.

“Attack on Free Speech”: Journalist Mario Guevara Faces Deportation After Covering Anti-Trump Protest

The Spanish-language journalist Mario Guevara may be deported to El Salvador as soon as today despite holding work authorization in the United States and never having been charged with a crime. Guevara, who founded the outlet MG News, where he received awards for his coverage on immigration, has lived in the United States for nearly 20 years. He was arrested and jailed in June for live-streaming an anti-Trump “No Kings” demonstration near Atlanta. “Mario’s case is really the tip of the spear, and today’s deportation is deeply troubling,” says lawyer Nora Benavidez. “It is because of his journalistic work that they targeted him. They really do not want what he’s doing to expose ICE.” Benavidez also responds to the attempted deportations of pro-Palestine immigrant students on U.S. college campuses. “It really mirrors the way that Mario has also been targeted because the government, very similarly, simply went after him for his speech,” she says.
