Overview

• On June 14, DeKalb County police arrested Mario Guevara as he live-streamed the “No Kings” protest to more than 1 million viewers
• A judge granted him a recognizance bond on June 16, but jail staff immediately transferred him into ICE custody under a detainer
• He is charged with pedestrian improperly entering a roadway, obstruction of a law enforcement officer and unlawful assembly
• Guevara’s attorneys are preparing a new bail motion to challenge the detainer that blocks his release and exposes him to deportation
• The Committee to Protect Journalists has denounced the ICE hold as a crude form of censorship that threatens press freedom
