A Salvadoran journalist who built a big social media following by documenting immigration raids may be facing deportation.
Federal authorities have requested an immigration “detainer” for Mario Guevara, who was arrested during a “No Kings” protest near Atlanta last Saturday, his lawyer said.
The Committee to Protect Journalists expressed outrage about Guevara’s continued detention on Tuesday.
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainer request, “which could lead to Guevara’s deportation, is a crude form of censorship,” said Katherine Jacobsen, the committee’s US, Canada and Caribbean program coordinator.
