Former Dona Ana County Judge Joel Cano and his wife, Nancy, have been arrested in connection with the alleged harboring of Cristhian Ortega-Lopez, a suspected member of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, who entered the US illegally. Ortega-Lopez was discovered living in the Cano’s guesthouse, where authorities found gang-related evidence and social media posts depicting him with firearms, including some that are believed to belong to the Cano’s daughter. The arrest has brought attention to the presence of international criminal organizations in the US, particularly those from Venezuela. The Canos are facing charges related to aiding and abetting a fugitive and possession of illegal firearms. This incident serves as a reminder of the challenges law enforcement agencies face in combating transnational crime networks operating within the country. The Canos’ arrest has sparked concerns about the extent of gang infiltration in American communities and the need for stronger border security measures. The case is under investigation, and authorities are working to uncover any potential connections between Ortega-Lopez and other criminal elements in the region. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
