Overview

• Guevara’s emergency bid to stay removal was denied by the 11th Circuit, which acknowledged his right to record police but said he failed to file an I‑485 to adjust status.
• The Board of Immigration Appeals reopened a roughly 13‑year‑old case on Sept. 19, issued a removal order, and declined to release him on bond.
• He has been held in ICE custody for more than 100 days despite an immigration judge’s July bond grant that was stayed on the government’s appeal.
• Guevara was arrested on June 14 while livestreaming a protest in metro Atlanta; local protest‑related charges and later traffic counts were dismissed.
• Press‑freedom and civil‑rights groups assert the detention is retaliatory and continue emergency legal efforts, while his family and lawyers say he could be deported as soon as Friday.
