Spanish-language journalist who documents immigration raids detained for ICE after protest arrest

  • Mario Guevara, a Salvadoran journalist, was arrested on June 14, 2025, in DeKalb County, Georgia, while livestreaming the 'No Kings' protest outside Atlanta.
  • The arrest occurred amid protests opposing the Trump administration's immigration policies, with Guevara charged with obstructing officers, unlawful assembly, and walking improperly in a roadway.
  • Guevara has reported on immigration enforcement for over 20 years, maintains a large social media following, and was detained while identifying himself as media during the protest.
  • Guevara's attorney Giovanni Diaz explained that although he is not a lawful permanent resident, Guevara is permitted to stay and be employed in the U.S., has an adult son who is a U.S. citizen, and is awaiting a decision on his green card application; however, if ICE takes him into custody, he could face deportation.
  • The arrest sparked concern from press freedom groups advocating for Guevara's release and protection of First Amendment rights amid heightened immigration enforcement anxiety.
