BRUNSWICK, Ga. - A federal judge in the Southern District of Georgia will hear arguments Wednesday on whether Atlanta-area journalist Mario Guevara should be released from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody.

Arrested while covering protest

What we know:

Guevara, 47, has been detained since June after being arrested by Doraville police while covering a "No Kings" protest. Video from the incident showed him wearing a vest marked "PRESS" and identifying himself as a journalist before being taken into custody. Local charges were later dropped, but ICE transferred him into immigration detention. He has since been moved between several facilities, most recently in Folkston, more than five hours from his family.
