BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Journalist Mario Guevara is being deported because the American government punishes reporters to protect its own power.

We should all be outraged.

"DEI opponents make assertions that are often, at best, based on anecdotes. They repeatedly neglect to substantiate their critiques with credible quantitative survey results."
