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 notorious Venezuelan gang known for trafficking, extortion, and violence.
The arrest comes just weeks after Cano resigned from his judicial post following a dramatic federal raid at his Doña Ana County residence, where agents apprehended Cristhian Ortega Lopez, an illegal immigrant now charged with unlawful firearm possession and gang affiliation.
The Gateway Pundit was one of the first outlets to report that longtime Doña Ana County Magistrate Judge Joel Cano — a Democrat and former police officer — abruptly resigned after federal agents arrested an alleged member of the violent Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang at a residence he owns.
The bombshell resignation letter, dated March 3, came just days after federal agents with Homeland Security Investigations raided a property tied to Cano and his wife, Nancy, arresting 23-year-old Cristhian Ortega-Lopez on federal gun charges, the Albuquerque Journal reported.
The Venezuelan national, who is in the U.S. illegally and has alleged ties to a ruthless transnational gang, was allegedly in possession of multiple firearms — including ones linked to disturbing images and videos on social media.
According to the press release:
HSI initiated an inquiry into Cristhian Ortega-Lopez in January 2025, following an anonymous tip. Ortega-Lopez, an illegal alien from Venezuela suspected of being affiliated with Tren de Aragua, was allegedly residing with other illegal aliens in Las Cruces, New Mexico, and had been in possession of firearms.
The 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.

Hot diggity dog! Way to go. Hoo-rah!
Oh boy! A new leftist darling “New Mexico Man” Cristhian Ortega Lopez. The left will swoon over this guy.
One POS judge down, hundreds more to go.
you spelled thousands wrong.
I think Gitmo’ has vacancies…
Good!
Thanks for the post!
I hope they do. The Democrat Party can’t implode fast enough!
There’s no other explanation other than cartels own judges and politicians right here in america.
Leftists go around calling everyone criminals, fascists, and bigots, but what better way to hide the fact that they are criminals themselves, and fascists, and bigots.
Chris Wray’s FBI wouldn’t have done this. Kudos to the FBI.
I hope so... They're digging themselves a bigger hole if they do.

It’s always the wife, isn’t it?
Drug Corruption in New Mexico.
Is that “Breaking:”? Or “Breaking Bad”?
Low hanging fruit.
An idiot in New Mexico.
Not particularly impressed.
If FBI wants to give America First patriots something to celebrate, I recommend looking for criminality committed in the past four years a little closer to HQ.
Like in HQ.
This Judge has tattoos applied with a secret invisible ink but the “ink” has an expiration date he didn’t know about...I love when that happens.
Again, judge with an idiot daughter that thinks tattooed Spanish guys are hot. This one and his friends needed a place to stay. Judge probably had no clue what his idiot daughter got him into.
