Salvadoran journalist could face deportation after arrest for obstruction at Georgia 'No Kings' protest

A Salvadoran journalist with a large social media following for covering immigration raids may soon face deportation.

Mario Guevara is facing possible deportation after being arrested at a protest in Georgia over the weekend and subsequently transferred to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody.

Guevara was detained during a “No Kings” protest in Doraville, just northeast of Atlanta, where he was livestreaming the demonstration. He was released without bail by a judge; however, ICE authorities requested that he remain detained because of his immigration status, according to a report by CNN.

Guevara entered the United States on a tourist visa in 2004 after reportedly receiving death threats related to his reporting in El Salvador. His attorney, Giovanni Diaz, said during a Tuesday press conference that Guevara holds a permit to live and work in the US, though he is not a permanent resident.

Zachary Gaeta, another attorney representing Guevara, said the journalist was clearly identifiable as a member of the press during the arrest, with video showing him wearing a vest and press credentials.

Two things. First of all, no wonder illegal aliens over-stay their tourist Visas. If they stay here for many years, then according to the left, they can't be deported.

Second. Why does slapping a press pass label on your shirt allow you to disobey lawful orders to disburse?

Does “No Kings” include Martin Luther? How about Queens? Imagine a protest sign saying “NO QUEENS ALLOWED”. That would be funny, especially in a San Francisco protest march.

“Does “No Kings” include Martin Luther? How about Queens? Imagine a protest sign saying “NO QUEENS ALLOWED”. That would be funny, especially in a San Francisco protest march.”


Now that’s just funny! If I see another post about “No Kings” I’m going to respond with the question, “Does that include Martin Luther King as well?” to see how they respond.

I wish I knew which leftist came up with the “No Kings” theme. The entire thing was stupid, especially since the Democrat leadership are the ones that crowned Harris “King” and didn’t let the voters have a say-so in the Dem’s presidential candidate.

Hmmm...

“Guevara entered the United States on a tourist visa in 2004 after reportedly receiving death threats related to his reporting in El Salvador. His attorney, Giovanni Diaz, said during a Tuesday press conference that Guevara holds a permit to live and work in the US, though he is not a permanent resident.”

Notice he didn’t say it was a valid permit. Deport him!

Exactly. And now Democrats want to replace Independence Day with “Junetenth”.

Do working on an overstayed tourist visa? That would be wrong.

No wonder they ran him out of El Salvador.
He has adopted US journalists’ policy of injecting themselves into the story.
Guevara was charged with improperly entering a pedestrian roadway, obstruction of law enforcement, and unlawful assembly.
Deport. See how he likes living in his own country.

The left is too willfully ignorant to see the irony and hypocrisy of their “no kings” movement.

Why does White Guilt whitey celebrate June Umpteempf? Instead of marching in a phony parade, it would make more sense to me if they just put their money where their mouth is and send BLM a healthy “reparations” check.
