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.
