More on this incident

Isidro Soto-Rodriguez, 39, has been to 15 months in prison for illegally reentering the United States, according to the Chattanooga Times Free Press, which reported the sentence on Aug. 13, 2026. The Times Free Press reported that the government alleged Soto-Rodriguez reentered the country after his deportation on or about June 14, 2012, and that he admitted the conduct in a signed plea agreement. In addition to the prison term, the sentence includes one year of supervised release and a $100 special assessment fee, the outlet reported. A fine was waived because of an inability to pay. The charge carried a statutory maximum of up to two years in prison, probation of up to one year, a fine of up to $250,000, lawful restitution and a $100 fee, according to the same report. This account is based on a single published report, and details of the case remain limited.

How we work

This site models an investigative reporter rather than a wire desk. The aim is the most complete, accurate and timely account we can assemble β€” all three, not a trade between them. Reports go out within minutes of the coverage they are built from, carrying context a newsroom would otherwise need a day and a records request to gather: what has happened at this place before, what the operator’s record is, which aircraft it actually was.

Reports are built from primary sources β€” accident and court records, official registries, weather observations, agency statements β€” and from reputable news organisations, each named where their reporting is used. Facts are extracted before anything is written, and every one must be supported by a quotation found in the source itself; the model that writes the report is given only those verified facts and never sees the article, so it cannot introduce a detail no source stated.

Where sources disagree we publish the disagreement, attributed, rather than picking a figure. Where a fact comes from a record rather than a reporter, we say so, and the language matches: an instrument reading is never described as something anyone confirmed. Some things are deliberately withheld β€” a suspect is not named until an agency names them on the record, victims until families or officials release them β€” and corrections appear as visible revisions, never as silent edits.

None of that makes a report true. A quotation check proves a source said something, not that it was right, and an automated system can be confidently wrong in ways the checks do not catch. If something here is wrong, the feedback above is how it gets found. The full methodology, including what we refuse to publish.
