The American Civil Liberties Union filed a habeas petition that demands the immediate release of Mario Guevara, a Spanish-language journalist who United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has detained for two months.

According to the petition, Guevara is in solitary confinement at the Folkston ICE Detention Center in Georgia. He is held in a “tiny cell 22 hours a day.” 

“He only gets two hours a day outside the cell, during which time he is taken to another bigger cell that looks like a dog crate where he can see the sky and breathe fresh air. He has lost approximately 20 pounds during his time in detention. He is experiencing panic attacks, nightmares, and difficulty sleeping,” the petition further describes.
