Noel Chinchilla-Avilez was originally ordered to leave the U.S. in 2023 but failed to do so within the mandated 90-day period. In February 2025, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained Chinchilla-Avilez for removal. During the process, he reportedly slipped out of his handcuffs and attempted to flee custody.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
