A former New Mexico judge, Jose "Joel" Cano, and his wife, Nancy, were arrested for harboring Cristhian Ortega-Lopez, an alleged member of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. Ortega-Lopez, an illegal immigrant, was found living in the Cano's guesthouse after being apprehended in an ICE raid. The Canos face evidence tampering charges. The judge's daughter, April Cano, was also raided, resulting in the seizure of firearms. The Supreme Court of New Mexico permanently banned Cano from the bench due to this incident.
