"Journalist Mario Guevara from El Salvador is speaking out about being detained in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement processing center in southern Georgia.
Guevera, who left his homeland over 20 years ago and founded the Spanish-language news outlet MG News, was detained by ICE agents as he was reporting on a 'No Kings' protest on June 14 in the Atlanta area. The 47-year-old reporter’s arrest was captured on video because he was live-streaming his news report as the incident occurred.
'I’m plainly convinced that my situation in this ICE jail is direct retaliation for my coverage,' Guevara recently told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. 'I haven’t committed any crimes.' After spending a month in ICE custody, Guevara has described himself as being 'emotionally destroyed' by his ongoing detention."
