Overview

• Mario Guevara remains detained at ICE’s Folkston processing center despite a July 1 bond order
• ICE appealed Judge James Ward’s $7,500 bond decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals, blocking three family attempts to post bond
• Local solicitors in DeKalb and Gwinnett counties dropped all misdemeanor and traffic charges against him in late June and early July
• Guevara holds valid U.S. work authorization and his green card application, sponsored by his U.S. citizen son, remains pending
• Press freedom groups, including the Committee to Protect Journalists, say his detention undermines the rights of non-citizen journalists
