A Hispanic immigration reporter who has lived in the United States for 20 years could face deportation after he was arrested by local police in Georgia while covering a protest.

Mario Guevara, originally from El Salvador, was detained by the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office on Saturday for alleged obstruction of officers and unlawful assembly at a "No Kings" event outside Atlanta.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) then placed a detainer on him, indicating that the agency wishes to take him into custody and potentially initiate removal proceedings.
