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?
These arrests underscore growing concerns from federal officials about how violent gang members are exploiting weaknesses at the southern border. Federal agents coordinated with international and domestic law enforcement partners to locate and detain the suspects. Both men are now in ICE custody as the agency works with El Salvador to carry out their deportation and ensure they are prosecuted for their alleged crimes.
