Journalist in Georgia Faces Deportation After Arrest While Reporting on No Kings Protest
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Georgia, a prominent Spanish-language journalist is facing possible
deportation after being arrested while covering Saturday's "No Kings"
protests. Mario Guevara, who was live-streaming the demonstration, was
taken into custody despite clearly identifying as a journalist.
Originally from El Salvador, Guevara has built a large following for his
reporting on anti-ICE protests. According to The Guardian, a municipal
judge released him on bond Monday, but jail officials then said he would
be transferred to ICE custody.
