Former Doña Ana County, New Mexico, Magistrate Judge Joel Cano and his wife, Nancy Cano, were taken into federal custody Thursday following an early-morning raid on their Las Cruces home. The couple now face serious charges of evidence tampering amid explosive allegations that they provided shelter to a suspected member of Venezuela’s notoriously violent Tren de Aragua gang. The arrest stems from a February encounter, when federal agents apprehended Cristhian Ortega-Lopez—an illegal alien and alleged gang affiliate—at the Canos’ residence. Ortega-Lopez, according to court documents, had been initially hired by Nancy Cano for home repairs but was later offered extended lodging in the family’s guesthouse. Federal investigators say the guesthouse became more than just a place to sleep.

A new analysis released Thursday by the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) claims that federal regulations under the Biden administration cost Americans a staggering $2.16 trillion in 2024, effectively saddling households with what the think tank calls a “hidden regulatory tax” of over $16,000.
