New Mexico judge resigns after alleged TdA member arrested at his home

January, Homeland Security Investigations Las Cruces began looking into Venezuelan native Cristhian Ortega-Lopez, "an illegal alien from Venezuela and a suspected member of a criminal gang" who was "residing with other illegal aliens" and "in possession of firearms," according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital.
. Ortega-Lopez and his roommates were taken into custody, and agents "seized four firearms from April Cano's residence." April Cano is the daughter of Nancy and Joel, court documents state.

Ortega-Lopez admitted to illegally entering the U.S. from Mexico in December 2023, according to court documents. He allegedly told investigators he was living in an El Paso apartment with five others when he met Nancy Cano "to install a glass door for her."

"He continued to do a few jobs for Nancy Cano, and after being evicted from the apartment in April, 2024, Nancy Cano offered her ‘casita’ in the back of the residence she shared with her husband Joel Cano," court documents state.

Martinez ruled Ortega-Lopez "was not a flight risk or danger to the community" and ordered him to be released. On April 8, a motion was filed by an assistant U.S. attorney to reconsider Ortega-Lopez's pretrial release order.

Records from Doña Ana County Assessor's Office say the home Ortega-Lopez was arrested at is owned by both Nancy and Jose Cano, who goes by Joel.

Cano's resignation letter stated his last day on the job was March 21.

Ortega-Lopez was found by investigators posing with weapons in social media posts, some of which he said were owned by April Cano, who "allowed him to hold and sometimes shoot various firearms."

how odd

Why would the judge resign? SCOTUS has just ruled that this kind of thing isn't just legal but it's NECESSARY to save democracy! People that enter this country illegally are US citizens and MUST be protected. That appears to be what this judge did. He's a hero, as is the guy he was protecting. The only way we can save democracy is for EVERY American to take gang members into their homes and protect them from unfair persecution and prosecution by the tyrants that stole the election!

What would there be to discuss? Criminal getting due process, a judge quit because he was corrupt.

Saying there is anything indicative here of anything else would be a stretch.

If any president got caught abusing illegal labor, it would be news. What does that have to do with what I asked?

I notice you didn't answer my question.
