Mario Guevara, a Spanish-language reporter in metro Atlanta known for his coverage of immigration issues, faces potential deportation following his arrest at a protest on Saturday. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has issued a detainer against Guevara, indicating that federal authorities believe he can be deported due to his lack of permanent legal status, despite having work authorization. Guevara, who was documenting the protest against President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement, was charged with obstruction of law enforcement and unlawful assembly, and his attorneys are concerned that local authorities may comply with ICE's request to keep him in custody.
