Atlanta,  Georgia- On Thursday, Oscar Guevara, the son of Mario Alexander Guevara, 47, Owner of MG News in Atlanta announced that his father has been moved to Louisiana by USICE and is expected to be deported to El Salvador on Friday, October 3, 2025 at 11:00 a.m., despite legal efforts by the his private attorney and the ACLU to prevent Mario from getting deported.

Mario was arrested in DeKalb by Doraville police on June 14, 2025, along with 8 other individuals at a No Kings Day protest. Guevara was charged with pedestrian improperly entering roadway, and two misdemeanor counts for obstruction of law enforcement officers and unlawful assembly, according to the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office.

Guevara apparently had apply for U.S. permanent resident with immigration services through his son who is a U.S. citizen. 

According to USICE, Guevara overstayed his visa, and in 2012, an immigration judge ordered Guevara to self-deport, which Guevara continued his attempt to remain in the U.S..

USDHS on June 20, 2025 released the following statement on their X account (formerly Twitter),  FALSE. Accusations that Mario Guevara was arrested by ICE because he is a journalist are completely untrue.

Mario Guevera was arrested by Dekalb County, Georgia police for willful obstruction after he refused to comply with local police orders to move out of the middle of the street. Following his arrest by local authorities, ICE placed a detainer on him. Following his release, he was turned over to ICE custody and has been placed in removal proceedings.

This El Salvador national is in ICE custody because he entered the country illegally in 2004.

Mario is also allegedly known for having another individual (driver) arrested after he was stopped on suspicion of DWI and an officer was about to let him go because he wasn't driving under the influence, when Mario is heard asking the officer, if the driver had a Georgia driver's license. The officer then asked the driver for a license and when the officer checked the individual's license, it had been suspended for serious violations since 2014, so the driver was arrested.
