US EditionJournalist Mario Guevara’s Charges Dropped After Anti-ICE Protest Arrest
- Journalist Mario Guevara was arrested on June 14 in DeKalb County while livestreaming an anti-ICE protest on Chamblee-Tucker Road.
- The arrest arose after Guevara allegedly refused police orders to move from the roadway, prompting charges of unlawful assembly and obstruction, though press freedom advocates raised concerns.
- DeKalb County Solicitor-General Donna Coleman-Stribling reviewed video evidence and dropped the charges, stating there was probable cause for arrest but insufficient evidence to prosecute beyond reasonable doubt.
- Guevara remains in ICE custody at the Folkston Processing Center while facing misdemeanor traffic charges in Gwinnett County, and his lawyers seek a bond hearing to secure his release.
- The case dismissal and ongoing detention have triggered public outcry and calls from press organizations urging fair treatment and protection of free press rights.
