"UPDATE: Mario Guevara was deported from the United States early on October 3,
according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.
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."
