A week after the immigration judge was granted Bond, he was still a Spanish journalist who was arrested while covering a protest last month in the federal reservation.
The police outside Atlanta arrested Mario Guevara while he was covering a protest on June 14, and he was handed over to the United States for Migration and Customs (ICE) several days later. He was detained at the immigration detention center in Volkson-in southeast Georgia, near the borders of Florida-when the immigration judge gave him a bond last week.
But when his family tried to pay a bond worth $ 7,500 last week, Isse has not accepted, and since then he was mixed between three other prisoners, his lawyer Giovanni Diaz said.
“We see that there is a concerted effort between the various judicial states to keep it detained,” said Diaz.
Guevara, 47, from El Salvador two decades ago and drew a loyal audience as a journalist covering the migration in the Atlanta region. He worked for Mondo Hispanico, a newspaper in Spanish, for years before the start of a digital news port called MG News. He was applying to live on social media from a gathering in the Dikaleb province protesting the Donald Trump administration when the local police arrested him.
Diaz said Guevara had authorized the work and staying in the country. The lawyer said that the case of previous immigration against him was administratively closed more than a decade ago, and he has a request for a green card suspended under the auspices of his adult American citizen.
After the immigration judge gave him James Ward Sanad, the Guevara family tried several times on the Internet but would not pass, as Diaz said. Then they went to pushing it personally and refused to accept it.
“What we did not know is what is going on in the background,” said Diaz.
The other Jeevara lawyer was then told that he was transferred to Joinette County, on the outskirts of Atlanta, because there were open orders to arrest him on charges of passing there. He was transferred to Guinte Prison last Thursday and was released on the same day on bonds in this case.
Diaz said that immigration bonds were not paid, as he was returned to the detention of ice at that point. It was transferred to Floyd County, about 65 miles (105 km) northwest of Atlanta, where there is an agreement in the Sharif office of the province’s agreement to detention people for ICE.
Floyd County Prison records showed that he was in detention there until Monday. Diaz said Guevara was transferred to a federal prison facility in Atlanta, where it remained on Tuesday.
Diaz said that the immigration judge agreed with Guevara’s lawyer that the journalist is not a threat to society, but the ice argues that he is a threat that he should not be released.
“We think it is an exaggeration,” the lawyer said. In what Diaz described as a development, Guevara was told while he was detained in Guinette Province that his phone was issued under an inspection note.
The video appears from his arrest Guevara wearing a bright red shirt under a protective jacket with the printed “press” on his chest. He can hear him telling a police officer: “I am a member of the media, the officer.” He was standing on the sidewalk with other journalists, without any sign of large crowds or confrontations around him, moments before he was removed.
The Dikaleb Guevara police accused the illegal gathering, obstructing the police and being infantry on the road or along the road. His lawyers worked for his release and gave him a bond in Dikaleb, but ICE had been subjected to him and was detained until they came to capture.
On June 25, Decal Coleman County Lawyer refused those charges, saying that although there was a possible reason to support detention, there was not enough evidence to support the prosecution.
Her office said in a press statement: “At the time of his arrest, the video evidence shows Mr. Guevara in general in compliance and the intention is to ignore the directions of law enforcement.”
Guevara immediately caught her attention and was criticized by freedom of the press groups, which he said was simply doing his work.
On June 20, the GWINNETT CERIFF office said it had received orders to arrest Guevara on charges of dispersed driving, and failing to obey the traffic monitoring and reckless driving device, saying it “endangered the safety of operation and threatens the safety of” law enforcement victims “.
A preliminary report on the accident says that the charges arise from the May 20 incident, which says that the reporting of June 17 – three days after his arrest in the protest. The narrative section of the report does not give any details. Diaz said that people accused of traffic violations are usually charged immediately, and it is very unusual for one of the officers to divide his arrest on this violation after a month.
“Nothing of this is normal,” said Diaz.
