flag Mario Guevara, a Guatemalan-born journalist and U.S. resident with a 13-year-old asylum claim, has been detained by ICE for over 100 days after being arrested while covering a protest in June 2024. flag Despite all criminal charges being dropped and an immigration judge ordering his release on bond, ICE continues to hold him, citing a 2012 removal order that his legal team says was closed by a settlement allowing him to stay and work. flag His son, Oscar Guevara, a 21-year-old U.S. citizen who underwent brain tumor surgery and a stroke in 2021, pleaded for his father’s release, calling him his primary caregiver and emotional support. flag Guevara, an Emmy-winning digital journalist, runs an online news site that has seen reduced output since his arrest, with recordings disappearing after his devices were seized. flag Civil rights and press freedom advocates, including the ACLU, say his detention is a threat to journalism and may be retaliation for his reporting on law enforcement. flag A habeas corpus petition is pending in federal court, with a decision expected soon.
