Read original story ↗Atlanta journalist Mario Guevara was deported to El Salvador on October 3, 2025, after being arrested while reporting on a protest and held in immigration custody. Prosecutors dropped the protest-related charges, but his immigration case continued. Press-freedom advocates said his removal threatened reporting on immigration enforcement; the appeals court denied a stay on immigration-law grounds.
