This is a win, but as long as Guevara remains in ICE custody, he is not free. Let's keep up the fight!
“We are glad to see that charges against journalist Mario Guevara relating to his June 14 protest reporting have been dropped by Atlanta-area prosecutors. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials should now release Guevara without delay, and Gwinnett County authorities

Mario Guevara's arrest is a product of the fascist anti-immigrant campaign being waged by the Trump admin & the intensified attacks on media. As a Sanctuary Union, we will fight to free Mario Guevara, end attacks on journalists from L.A. to Gaza, & stop racist deportations!

NWU strongly supports the IFJ motion condemning attacks on journalists abroad & at home. Repression in its many forms is a hallmark of fascism, & we support our media colleagues in bearing witness to the actions of the Trump admin & their right to do so unimpeded and unharmed.
#USA🇺🇸: We strongly condemn attacks on journalists around the world, particularly by US law enforcement against journalists covering the anti-immigration policies in Los Angeles. @newsguild @paythewriter @withMEAA #IFJmontreal25
