BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.
Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.
Every single person killed by a gun in the US is just a real as Charlie Kirk. All of them have families who love them, aspirations, social networks. All of them are people. They deserve exactly as much mourning as Kirk.
