ATLANTA (AP) β A week after an immigration judge granted him bond, a Spanish-language journalist who was arrested while covering a protest last month remains in federal custody.
Police just outside Atlanta arrested Mario Guevara while he was covering a protest on June 14, and he was turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement several days later. He was being held at an immigration detention center in Folkston β in southeast Georgia, near the Florida border β when an immigration judge last week granted him bond.
But when his family tried to pay the $7,500 bond last week, ICE didnβt accept it and he has since been shuffled between three other jails, his lawyer Giovanni Diaz said.
