"I don't think [I'll] be the only one. Just be careful because [immigration agents are] very aggressive. They showed they are they don't care about journalists. They don't believe in the media. They believe the media [are] against them. They see the media as an enemy They have the power. They can do everything they want. It can be dangerous for us."
"We are journalists we try to be objective, but sometimes we have to report what is going on. They can think we are against them even if it's not true. You can have retaliation for that. That was my case. Probably I was the first one but I don't think [I'll] be the only one."
Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning immigrant journalist, was deported from the United States on 3 October during a federal immigration crackdown tied to Donald Trump's second presidency. Guevara warned that immigration agents acted aggressively, displayed hostility toward journalists, and viewed the media as an enemy with power to retaliate. The deportation prompted concerns that other immigrant journalists could face similar treatment. Three days after Guevara's interview, British journalist Sami Hamdi was detained and faced deportation after visa revocation, a case that rights groups alleged involved retaliation tied to political commentary.
