OMG! Jailed Journalist? ICE's SHOCKING Retaliation Against Reporter?
Tap title to read story
Journalist Mario Guevara, a Salvadorian immigrant, has been detained by ICE for almost two months after covering protests in Atlanta. The ACLU filed a federal petition arguing his detention is retaliation for his reporting on immigration raids, violating his First Amendment rights. Despite dropped charges and a prior immigration judge's order granting bond, ICE appealed, keeping Guevara imprisoned. The ACLU highlights Guevara's lack of criminal history and cooperation with law enforcement, emphasizing the unusual nature of the government's appeal based solely on his journalism. The petition seeks Guevara's release and a court declaration against ICE's actions.
