Breaking Report: Dem Judge Arrested For Sheltering Violent Gang Member [Video]

The FBI has arrested former New Mexico Magistrate Judge Juan Cano and his wife, Nancy Cano, for allegedly harboring an illegal alien with suspected ties to Tren de Aragua, a violent Venezuelan gang notorious for human trafficking, extortion, and brutal crimes. This shocking development comes just weeks after Cano, a Democrat and former police officer, abruptly resigned following a federal raid on his Doña Ana County home, where agents arrested Cristhian Ortega-Lopez, an illegal immigrant charged with unlawful firearm possession and gang affiliation.

While The Gateway Pundit and other conservative outlets were the first to break this bombshell story, the liberal media has largely ignored it—choosing instead to downplay the catastrophic consequences of Biden’s open-border policies. The arrest exposes not only the hypocrisy of the left but also the real-world dangers of unchecked illegal immigration, a crisis that President Donald Trump has repeatedly warned about and vowed to fix.

The Shocking Details: A Judge Sheltering a Criminal Illegal Alien
According to court documents, Ortega-Lopez—who illegally crossed the border by scaling a barbed-wire fence in Eagle Pass, Texas—was released into the U.S. due to Biden’s reckless “humanitarian parole” policies. Once in New Mexico, he allegedly connected with Nancy Cano while doing handyman work and was later allowed to live in a casita behind the Cano residence.

Even more disturbing, social media evidence shows Ortega-Lopez smiling alongside Judge Cano and handling firearms—images now submitted in federal court. In one video, Ortega-Lopez is seen handing a long rifle to both Judge Cano and his wife, raising serious questions about their involvement.

“Investigators determined Ortega-Lopez had entered the United States illegally on Dec. 15, 2023, and was released pending removal proceedings. Social media evidence showed Ortega-Lopez in possession of multiple firearms at a shooting range in Las Cruces.”

Per the court document, Ortega-Lopez was introduced to Nany Cano’s daughter, April Cano, who possessed a large number of firearms. Ortega-Lopez advised that April Cano allowed him to hold and sometimes shoot various firearms. Ortega-Lopez admitted that he recognized four firearms… pic.twitter.com/tLE2CGtLpA

Liberal Media’s Silence Speaks Volumes
While conservative journalists have been relentlessly exposing this scandal, the mainstream media has been conspicuously quiet. Where are the New York Times, CNN, and MSNBC? Their refusal to cover this story proves their bias in protecting Democrats while ignoring the lawlessness enabled by Biden’s administration.

A review of Ortega-Lopez's social media shows him shooting at a local range and holding multiple firearms. The page also shows photos of what appears to be Judge Cano and Ortega-Lopez socializing, including Ortega-Lopez passing a long rifle to both Judge Cano and Nancy.

President Donald Trump, who has long warned about dangerous gangs like Tren de Aragua infiltrating the U.S., was right yet again. His strong border policies kept criminals out, while Biden’s weak leadership has turned American communities into safe havens for violent gangs.

The Fallout: A Judge Banned for Life
The New Mexico Supreme Court issued a rare ruling, permanently banning Cano from ever holding judicial office again. Meanwhile, Ortega-Lopez faces up to 15 years in prison for being an illegal alien in possession of firearms—a charge that highlights the urgent need for stricter immigration enforcement.

As President Trump campaigns to take back the White House, this case serves as a stark reminder of why America needs strong leadership to secure the border, deport criminal illegals, and restore law and order.
