LEADER JEFFRIES STATEMENT ON THE ARREST OF COMPTROLLER BRAD LANDER – Congressman Hakeem Jeffries

At a news conference Tues, Giovanni Diaz, one of Guevara’s attorneys, said that if his client was taken into #ICE custody he would likely spend some time at the agency’s downtown field office before being transferred to one of 2 South Georgia #immigrant #jails: the Stewart Detention Center or the Folkston ICE Processing Center.

Diaz added that Georgia’s immigrant #detention facilities are “overwhelmed.”

A local judge had granted Guevara a bond Monday, but the #journalist remained in #detention because #ICE had issued a detainer, formally requesting the DeKalb #jail hold Guevara for at least 48 more hours to give #immigration agents time to pick him up.

It now appears the pickup occurred earlier Wednesday morning, mere hours before the detainer was set to expire.

It is not clear where Guevara is being held.

Online records show that Guevara was released from the DeKalb County Jail, where he was detained following his arrest at the #protest, at 7:35AM Wednesday.
