Dona Ana County Magistrate Judge Jose “Joel” Cano resigned from the bench shortly after Cristhian Ortega-Lopez was arrested by federal authorities in March, according to the Albuquerque Journal. Ortega-Lopez, a 23-year-old Venezuelan national, is accused of being an illegal migrant in possession of firearms and having affiliations with Tren de Aragua, an international criminal syndicate and U.S.-designated terrorist organization.

The Justice Department in March confirmed federal authorities executed search warrants on four different illegal migrants in New Mexico for unlawful possession of firearms and other related offenses. …

Ortega-Lopez entered the U.S. in 2023 by scaling a barbed-wire fence near Eagle Pass, Texas …

The Venezuelan national eventually met Nancy Cano, Joel Cano’s wife, and he accepted her offer to stay in a “casita” behind their home in Las Cruces, New Mexico, according to court documents obtained by the Albuquerque Journal. Ortega-Lopez in April 2024 filed a request for immigration relief and listed Cano’s Las Cruces address as his home.

Prosecutors further say that Ortega-Lopez was introduced to April Cano, Nancy’s daughter, who “possessed a large number of firearms” and “allowed him to hold and sometimes shoot various firearms.” In its press release, the Justice Department revealed social media evidence allegedly showing him in possession of firearms.

If convicted, Ortega-Lopez and the other three illegal migrants each face 15 years in prison, according to the Justice Department. They will remain in custody pending trial.
