Macon joins national 'No Kings' rally
PHOTO BY MARK POWELL

A rallygoer holds up a protest sign during Macon's "No Kings" demonstration at Tattnall Square Park on Oct. 18. The local rally was part of a national campaign which took place in more than 2,700 cities and drew, according to Atlanta-based newsroom The Xylom, nearly 7 million participants — against Donald Trump's actions and policies during his second presidency. Hundreds of Maconites and other residents of Middle Georgia participated in the event, which followed protests held in June.

The Xylom has joined a coalition of press freedom groups, civil and human rights, First Amendment, and other advocacy groups, led by @pressfreedom.bsky.social @freepress.bsky.social, to call for the immediate release of journalist Mario Guevara from ICE custody. Read our joint statement:
Dozens of organizations demand release of journalist Mario Guevara
In a healthy democracy, a free press is essential. That freedom is under threat in the United States
today.
An Emmy award-winning journalist has been detained for over 100 days – all because the government
considers his livestream reporting a threat. Mario Guevara was arrested June 14 in metro Atlanta while
covering a protest, then transferred to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody, where he
remains.
This is one of the longest periods a journalist has ever been detained in the United States. Guevara is
the only known journalist currently behind bars in the U.S. for his reporting.
The government’s prolonged detention of Guevara sends a chilling message to all journalists, citizens,
and residents who record law enforcement, report on government activities, and seek to report the
truth. This concerns all of us as a blatant attack on the First Amendment and press freedom.
Livestreaming and filming police is not a crime.
We – the undersigned coalition of press freedom, civil and human rights, First Amendment, and
other advocacy groups – call for the immediate release of journalist Mario Guevara from ICE
custody.

Additional Information
The federal government has argued that Guevara must remain in custody because his regular
livestreaming and reporting on law enforcement pose a danger to public safety. In fact, a free
press keeps us safe. The First Amendment holds the government accountable to the people,
and that includes immigrants. Under federal, state, and local laws, Guevara has a right to film
the police doing their jobs.
As of September 19, Mario Guevara faces imminent deportation back to his native El Salvador.
The Board of Immigration Appeals has re-opened his 13-year-old immigration case, declining to
release him on bond. Guevara’s lawyers in his habeas petition have argued that the immigration
judge in the 2012 case granted him voluntary departure rather than a deportation order. While
an appeal on that ruling was pending, the government administratively closed the case.
Guevara has had authorization to live and work in the United States since then.
There are no open charges against Guevara, and an immigration judge granted him bond on
July 1, yet he has spent months in detention. Guevara was first detained on June 14, 2025,
while livestreaming a local protest in the metro Atlanta area. While he was held by local
authorities, ICE issued a detainer against him and transferred him into their custody. The federal
government’s arguments rely heavily on coordination from local police. He has been shuffled
between five local and federal detention centers, and spent over two months in isolation. He is
now at the Folkston ICE Processing Center in southeastern Georgia.
For over 20 years, Guevara has resided in metro Atlanta with his family. Originally from El
Salvador, he entered the country legally and continues to have work authorization and a path to
a green card through his son, a U.S. citizen. Like the majority of broadcast and digital
journalists, Guevara frequently publishes livestream video.
