Why did ICE Lock Up this Pro-Trump Reporter? (Part One)

Описание

In June, journalist Mario Guevara was arrested while covering an anti-ICE protest in Georgia, transferred to ICE detention, and locked up by the federal government for more than 100 days. And that wasn’t even the worst of it.  But Mario is not the kind of ICE-criticizing reporter you might be picturing. He was a Trump-supporting, Republican-identifying, law-and-order-sympathizing immigration hawk, who knew ICE well and had covered them favorably for years. Why did the Trump administration still go after him? This is the first in a special two-part series about Mario Guevara.  Please take 5 minutes to fill out this survey about Question Everything – it’ll help us know who’s listening and what you want from us!

His subsequent green card petition was also unrelated.
