Mario Guevara, a Salvadoran journalist reporting on a "No Kings" protest in Georgia, was arrested and is now stuck in an immigration detention center—even though the original charges against him were dropped. Free press advocates say ICE is essentially retaliating against him for doing his job.

Editor’s Note: When journalists get detained for covering protests—especially after charges are dismissed—it sets a dangerous precedent. It suggests authorities might be weaponizing immigration enforcement to silence critical reporting, which should concern anyone who cares about a free press. This isn’t just about one reporter; it’s about whether journalists can safely hold power to account.
