Former New Mexico Judge Joel Cano, who used to serve as a Dona Ana County magistrate in Las Cruces, has been arrested along with his wife Nancy Cano on charges of helping to hide members of the Tren de Aragua gang, a Venezuelan outfit. They were arrested after an unidentified tipster notified Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that the judge was hiding the gang members at his home.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said the judge has now admitted he gave the Tren de Aragua members rifles. He also destroyed a gang member’s cellphone that had images of decapitated victims.
Sad to say, but Cano isn’t the only judge that ICE has had to arrest this week. Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested Friday by the FBI for allegedly obstructing federal immigration agents by helping an undocumented immigrant evade arrest.
ICE Chief Tom Homan tweeted, “Nobody should be surprised by the arrest of two judges. I have said many times within the past few months, that people can choose to support illegal immigration and not assist ICE in removing criminal illegal aliens from our communities, BUT DON’T CROSS THAT LINE. If you actively impede our enforcement efforts or if you knowingly harbor or conceal illegal aliens from ICE you will be prosecuted. These actions are felonies.”
