GEORGIA, UNITED STATES, JUL 22 – Mario Guevara, held despite dropped charges and a judge's release order, faces detention seen as retaliation for his immigration reporting, advocates say he is the only jailed U.S. journalist for his work.
- Mario Guevara, a journalist for MG News, was arrested on June 14 while covering a protest and has been held in ICE custody since then, according to his lawyer Giovanni Diaz.
- An immigration judge set a $7,500 bond for Guevara, but ICE has contested this ruling, delaying his release as reported by Diaz.
- Guevara's daughter, Katherine Guevara, emphasized his dedication to journalism and the Hispanic community, stating that he was doing his job in informing others about immigration issues.
- Press freedom advocates and Guevara's family argue that his detention is retaliatory for his reporting, which raises concerns about civil rights, as stated by Senator Josh McLaurin.
