DEKALB COUNTY, GA — Hispanic journalist Mario Guevara has left the United States.
According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, Guevara was deported on a flight early Friday morning around 4 a.m.
This comes after a federal court refused to block his deportation.
Guevara’s legal team says he was in the country legally on the path to getting a green card when he was detained while reporting at a DeKalb County immigration protest in June.
