This case is not concluded. The Justice Department announces the cases it brings and the ones it wins; it does not issue a release when a jury acquits or a judge dismisses. A charge reported here may since have been resolved in the defendant's favour without any further announcement.

More on this incident

Logan Murfin, of Skiatook, Oklahoma, has been to , according to reporting by KTUL and OKCFOX, which said the sentence was announced on August 10, 2026. The charges were described as threatening to kill U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and posting threats to ICE agents on the social media platform X, OKCFOX reported. The government alleged that Murfin posted threats on X about "gunning down" and shooting ICE agents under the username "Azulenq," posted from his home in Skiatook, both outlets reported. OKCFOX additionally reported that data presented to the jury showed Murfin posted the threats from his home in Skiatook, and that after his arrest he told agents he was angry and "pissed off" at ICE and admitted to creating the posts. KTUL's account of the allegations did not include those details. Homeland Security Investigations investigated the case, according to KTUL and OKCFOX. Neither report stated the maximum penalty Murfin faced, so it is not clear from the available reporting how the 21-month term compares with the longest sentence available for the offense. The available reporting does not agree on the sentence or on who was . KTUL and OKCFOX report for Murfin. KCTV5 reports a sentence of nearly 12 years — 115 months for being a felon in possession of a firearm plus an additional 24 months for violating the terms of a supervised release — in an account naming a different defendant, Tracy Parker, 38, of Kansas City. According to KCTV5, prosecutors said Parker illegally possessed a firearm; the gun was recovered when authorities arrested Parker in a 2024 homicide case, deputies finding a loaded handgun he had discarded that had been reported stolen in Olathe, Kansas, and court documents say Parker told investigators he threw the gun away because he feared being caught with it. A third account, from ABC57, reports a sentence of eight months in prison for Santos Duron Cisneros, described as a 36-year-old Mexican national, on a charge of Assault of a Federal Officer, in a case handled by the United States Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Indiana. According to ABC57, court documents state that an ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officer was transporting Duron Cisneros and two other individuals when Duron Cisneros began physically and verbally assaulting one of the other men, resisted the ICE officer who intervened, kicked at the officer, who deflected the kick with his hands, and then tried to headbutt the officer. It is not clear from the available reporting how, or whether, the three accounts relate to one another.

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 — 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 — accident and court records, official registries, weather observations, agency statements — 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 — a suspect is not named until an agency names them on the record, victims until families or officials release them — 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.
