Mario Guevara deportation: He arrived in El Salvador

Journalist Mario Guevara arrived in El Salvador this Friday after being deported by the United States, a country where he had lived for years. At the airport, he was received by family members, colleagues, and cameras broadcasting his return live.

“With a Broken Heart”

Mario Guevara, who was detained on June 14 in Chamblee, Georgia, expressed his pain at leaving his family in the U.S.:

“I’m with a broken heart because I’m leaving half of my family there… They treated me like a criminal just for doing my journalistic work.”

Mario Guevara’s Statements from La Paz

From Olocuilta, where he was escorted by a migration patrol, Mario spoke with local media and said that although he went through harsh moments, he holds no grudge against the U.S. government:

“They are just following orders.”

“My Land, My Land”

With that phrase, he began a live broadcast through his news channel, still wearing the same clothes he had on when he was arrested. Mario Guevara promised to continue practicing journalism, now from his homeland.
