Heart-wrenching words by the son of Mario Guevara.

Lost amid headlines: ICE has failed to protect Mario in detention, resulting in his family being extorted for cash.

He may be deported any moment. We may not stop it. But his story will continue. We must keep telling it.

Opinion | My father is a journalist. The Trump administration is about to deport him.
I will continue to fight for his freedom, and the freedom of all those who ask the hard questions

Mario Guevara faces imminent deportation after being detained by ICE for over 100 days.

His crime? Livestreaming a “No Kings” protest.

If you were outraged about Jimmy Kimmel, you should be more outraged about Guevara.

It’s time to #FreeMario now!

The U.S. government has argued that Mario Guevara poses a danger because he livestreams law enforcement, and re-opened his 13-year-old immigration case, declining to release him on bond. This sends a chilling message to journalists and anyone who takes videos of law enforcement activity.
