Prominent Atlanta Journalist Deported After Covering Anti-Trump Protest

UPDATE: Mario Guevara was deported from the United States early on October 3, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. The Spanish-language journalist Mario Guevara may be deported to El Salvador as soon as today despite holding work authorization in the United States and never having been charged with a crime. Guevara, who founded the outlet MG News, where he received awards for his coverage on immigration, has lived in the United States for nearly 20 years. He was arrested and jailed in June for live-streaming an anti-Trump “No Kings” demonstration near Atlanta. “Mario’s case is really the tip of the spear, and today’s deportation is deeply troubling,” says lawyer Nora Benavidez. “It is because of his journalistic work that they targeted him. They really do not want what he’s doing to expose ICE.” Benavidez also responds to the attempted deportations of pro-Palestine immigrant students on U.S. college campuses. “It really mirrors the way that Mario has also been targeted because the government, very similarly, simply went after him for his speech,” she says.

"Without the immunity decision, Trump would probably still be dragging out his appeals in his multitude of criminal cases, and the rest of us would be living in a world where the federal government remains functional. Instead, Trump has taken full advantage of that immunity, not just to dodge his crimes, but to crown himself a king, above all laws. And thus far, the Court seems more than happy to help."

"Roberts’ opinion provides an open invitation for Trump to do exactly what he’s doing now.

Worse, it actually lays out a clear and easy-to-follow road map on how he can and should pursue it without risking his own hide—tap into the most essential powers of the presidency to protect himself, no matter how lawlessly those powers are wielded."
