Miguel Afonso Caetano"A Spanish-language journalist remains in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody after being arrested while covering a protest in metro Atlanta earlier this month.Mario Guevara was livestreaming a protest in DeKalb County on June 14 when police arrested him, despite video showing him wearing a press vest and identifying himself as a journalist.Guevara, an Emmy-award winning journalist who covers immigration on his MGnews Facebook page and other social media platforms, now faces misdemeanor charges linked to the protest, as well as additional traffic warrants issued by Gwinnett County.ICE issued a detainer after Guevara's arrest and transferred him to the Folkston ICE Processing Center, where he remains in custody.On Friday, the Committee to Protect Journalists, along with the Atlanta Press Club and a group of local and national press sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security expressing alarm over Guevara’s detention. “If Guevara’s case proceeds, it would represent a grim erosion of both freedom of the press and the rule of law,” the letter stated.Guevara’s lawyer says they are preparing to request a bond hearing in hopes of securing his release.GPB has reached out to ICE for additional details on Guevara's case.

oatmealQuoting Noa Limona on how the Israeli media is reckoning with uncritically accepting military explanations for targeting journalists and media infrastructure, after using the same justifications in both Gaza and Iran attacks that are now being used at home against them:[…] After all, the killing of journalists in Gaza is covered here only through the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IDF</a> filter, according to which they are all terrorists. […] and the bombing of the Iranian broadcasting network was reported with cheers and corrupt mockery. No journalist in the mainstream media questioned the army’s justifications for the bombing: the station ‘served military activity,’ the wonder excuse that worked for us in Gaza, and served as ‘a mouthpiece of the regime that incites genocide.’ It seems that no one in Israeli studios felt the crushing irony.”Limona’s concludes that the assault on press freedom that began with targeting foreign journalists is expanding to encompass Israeli media outlets that don’t toe the government line. She warns that even mainstream Israeli channels (11, 12, 13) are now being labeled as problematic by government supporters, suggesting that the restrictions will eventually affect all non-compliant media.Hebrew <a href="https://www.haaretz.co.il/opinions/2025-06-23/ty-article-opinion/.premium/00000197-981f-d237-a1bf-b81f67f10000" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.haaretz.co.il/opinions/2025-06-23/ty-article-opinion/.premium/00000197-981f-d237-a1bf-b81f67f10000</a> or <a href="https://archive.is/oKaRU" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archive.is/oKaRU</a><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@palestine</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/israel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@israel</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PressFreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PressFreedom</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Israel</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Palestine</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Iran" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Iran</a>
