Per witness, Steve was filming an arrest when feds knocked a group of people backwards and grabbed him. She says it appeared targeted to her since he had been filming CBP interaction with the protester from start to finish.

Steve is fine/uninjured. Some neck pain from being tackled. His biggest concern while in custody was what was happening to people outside the facility since he couldn't hear any of the munitions from inside. In typical Steve fashion, he also made a number of new friends while detained.

1/ While everyone is focused on Comey, Trump did this today. How many more of us will be targeted? How many rounded up? How many designated terrorists and prosecuted before those who remain on the sidelines finally open their eyes to what’s happening? www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

More noise!!!! www.scrippsnews.com/politics/imm...

BREAKING: @freepress.bsky.social @pressfreedom.bsky.social @freedom.press @penamerica.bsky.social @rsf.org just filed a brief supporting Mario Guevara's release from prolonged & unconstitutional detention. www.freepress.net/news/free-pr...

DOJ has sued 8 states for protecting their citizens' sensitive voter registration data. My law firm has intervened to oppose DOJ's efforts in the first two states -- Maine and Oregon. Six more to go...

Can we please someone get @jimmykimmel.com & @colbertlateshow.bsky.social to visit rural southern Georgia’s Folkston facility and do a special on Mario Guevara & free press that isn’t free anymore? Please?

Call your congress person about Mario! Call DHS about Mario. Call your state senator in GA (and every state). Use your voice because Mario has been targeted for his.

Take this Jimmy Kimmel energy. Apply it to everything. And we will win.

More noise!!!! www.scrippsnews.com/politics/imm...

"There's no other case like this right now. Mario is the only journalist in the United States jailed for his reporting." - @attorneynora.bsky.social with @kadiatubman.bsky.social of @scrippsnews.bsky.social

Tremendous ruling today in the Burke case, dismissing charges against journalist under wiretap statutes & more. Proud @freepress.bsky.social was able to weigh in with an amicus brief: www.freepress.net/news/press-f...

The federal government may shut down next week -- but by all means, let's make sure TikTok gets bought up by Trump's friends & billionaire allies to control our digital narratives. From us @freepress.bsky.social: www.freepress.net/news/trump-c...

Benavidez, declaró que el caso de Guevara ha llegado a un “punto de inflexión peligroso”. Gracias @elpais.com por escribiendo: elpais.com/us/migracion...

Such an act of violence against native people. The cognitive dissonance that this country was founded by immigrants, stripped native people of everything, and now castigates & dehumanized immigrants and natives alike.

Would love to see @jimmykimmel.com & @colbertlateshow.bsky.social use the increased attention they’re drawing to highlight outrages like this.

Theses are all just press releases masquerading as EOs in an attempt to signify authority to follow. They are legally flimsy but culturally divisive & suggestive of forthcoming attacks in a long line of attacks Trump/allies levy to grow power & silence critics www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

It should. And we have to try. Democracy is always in the effort, in the growth, in becoming better versions of what we imagine. But we need more noise, more outrage, more calls to congress & DHS & Bondi, more signatures for petitions calling for his release. www.commondreams.org/news/mario-g...

Benavidez, senior counsel @freepress.bsky.social, said Guevara’s case had reached a “dangerous inflection point.” As Guevara had a reputation in his community for exposing ICE injustices, & that his censorship was part of the Trump admin crackdown on dissent. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/u...

Global democratic backsliding is pervasive. 8% of the world lives in a full democracy. Hate & lies have become normalized forms of communications & politics. Leaders use social media to “get around” official censorship schemes. But once in power, autocrats use official avenues to censor more.

“As the government seems more & more willing to reject & ignore the rule of law, we are seeing that some of the most frontline individuals affected are reporters, and particularly immigrant reporters,” Ms. Benavidez said.

I've known Mario for 10+ years. His case is the tip of the spear for freedom. If he's sent back to El Salvador, even disappeared, for livestreaming of US law enforcement, w-o-w. Is this the US we want? Does his removal solve the "immigration problem" Trump boasts he'll solve? Mario had a work visa.

I’m excited by the attention on free speech issues now. But we’d be remiss if we focused just on Kimmel. Or even the FCC chair Carr. The entire environment is retaliatory, affecting the most vulnerable who have the least infrastructure for support. That’s why speech for all matters more than ever.

🚨 Urgent update from: @pressfreedom.bsky.social and Free Press renew our demand for Mario Guevara's immediate release. An immigration board issued a final removal order last night. Mr. Guevara could be deported any moment. Our statement: www.freepress.net/news/leading... #FreeMario

“Horrific and lawless, this is the environment Trump created to promote a singular approved narrative, remove critical news coverage for communities, and chill journalists’ freedom should they dare hold power to account.” - @attorneynora.bsky.social More: www.freepress.net/news/journal...

We wanna talk abt free speech? Let's talk abt @karenattiah.bsky.social fired @washingtonpost.com for reminding us of Kirk's hate. Or Mario Guevara detained 102 days for live-streaming ICE. Myriad stakes for ppl who get less/no airtime that we never hear. From me pressingissues.org/trumps-attac...

Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for over 100 days — for covering a protest. He's the only known journalist in ICE custody on U.S. soil. @attorneynora.bsky.social of @freepress.bsky.social breaks down why this is a chilling warning for immigrant reporters.

Yall, here’s a simple easy thread on free speech & where we go. I welcome debate. Let’s go!!!

My debut for our @freepress.bsky.social! pressingissues.org/trumps-attac...

Late-night comedy is definitely under threat of censorship. Comedians are always a line of attack for authoritarians. But so are other reporters & truth-tellers. Read my latest on the Mario Guevara case & the broader (daily) attacks on free speech by our admin: pressingissues.org/trumps-attac...

Thank you for joining!

The PressingIssues.org debut of @attorneynora.bsky.social Trump’s Attacks on Free Speech Are Way Bigger Than Just Late-Night Comedy #MarioGuevara

Late-night comedy is definitely under threat of censorship. Comedians are always a line of attack for authoritarians. But so are other reporters & truth-tellers. Read my latest on the Mario Guevara case & the broader (daily) attacks on free speech by our admin: pressingissues.org/trumps-attac...

Coming in 20 min: A press briefing on the plight of Mario Guevara—the only journalist in the US imprisoned for exercising his First Amendment right to record police/ICE activity in public. Hear from Free Press' @attorneynora.bsky.social alongside @aclu.org allies: www.acluga.org/press-releas...

"We’re close to people discontinuing all manner of conversation because they’re worried about the consequence ... It feels like speech is off limits,” Benavidez said. “Dissent is integral to democracy...we should have the ability to question those in power." www.ajc.com/politics/202...

BREAKING: Our opposition and upset over Jimmy Kimmel being taken off air have led to Kimmel coming back. Let's organize that much noise for reporters like Mario Guevara detained (despite being here legally) for filming police & ICE:

An honor to have this urgent discussion about free speech with @ajc.com @bluestein.bsky.social: www.ajc.com/politics/202...

"It's really a case about a journalist who was targeted because of his filming of police and ICE. And so it feels like it's part of a much broader censorship regime that we're seeing." - @attorneynora.bsky.social with @kristaldixon.bsky.social of @axios.com #FreeMario www.axios.com/local/atlant...

Never good when our leaders are the source of disinformation that news outlets have to take time debunking: apple.news/Axw7xV0J2Se6...

This is unacceptable.

Thnx @axios.com @kristaldixon.bsky.social for covering 100 days of detention & the fight for Mario Guevara’s freedom: www.axios.com/local/atlant...

If you still haven't called your officials about Mario Guevara, please do so! We've won multiple battles. We can win this one too. Stand up for Mario Guevara.
