Description

Mario Guevara, an immigration journalist with legal status in the U.S. Guevara, who fled El Salvador in 2004 and has lived in the U.S. legally for over 20 years with work authorization and a pending green card application, was arrested while filming a protest and handed over to ICE. All charges were subsequently dropped. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger criticize the arrest as politically motivated retaliation for Guevara’s reporting, and they highlight the contradiction of deporting a legal immigrant journalist while allowing undocumented laborers to remain for economic purposes. Jimmy argues that this situation reflects a betrayal of the public and press freedoms, and accuses the Trump administration of prioritizing oligarchs and political allies over the rights of legal immigrants and journalists.

“I’m gonna guess that-“ doesn’t really cut it for reporting, Jimmy.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) claims Mario Guevara is in the country illegally, stating he entered illegally in 2004 or overstayed his visa and was ordered to leave in 2012. The DHS has initiated removal proceedings against him. Guevara's attorney and family assert he entered the U.S. legally on a visa in 2004 and according to Common Dreams, has lived lawfully in the country since. He holds a work permit and has a pending application for a green card sponsored by his U.S. citizen son. Almost as if they are purposely creating two separate scenarios. You can literally ask AI if he was in the country legally and the answer you get depends on how you ask the question. Side note, he had three separate misdemeanors that were dropped because it turned out two were committed on private property and one because there was not enough evidence that the prosecutor thought he could convince the jury.

He didn’t qualify. Get over it. No is no. Go home. What do you not understand. It’s called the rule of law. Recharge your brain cells. Maybe then you can understand.
