Ex-New Mexico judge arrested for allegedly harboring Venezuelan gang member | Fox News The two face charges of evidence tampering amid allegations they harbored Cristhian Ortega-Lopez, an alleged illegal alien who is also believed to be a member of Venezuela’s notorious Tren de Aragua gang. "Under President Trump, we have arrested over 150,000 aliens—including more than 600 members of the vicious Tren de Aragua gang," said Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem. "If you are here illegally and break the law, we will hunt you down, arrest you and lock you up. That's a promise." The arrest follows a February incident where Ortega-Lopez was apprehended at the Cano residence. Court documents reveal that he was initially hired by Nancy Cano for home repairs and later offered accommodation in the couple's guesthouse. Judge Cano resigned from his judicial position in March and on Tuesday, the New Mexico Supreme Court issued a ruling permanently barring him from holding any judicial office in the state.

He has to resign either way. The most generous explanation for him is that he got fooled by potentially fraudulent paperwork and missed a bunch of red flags (assuming the DHS story is accurate) despite being a judge. Now it's a matter of whether he can avoid getting convicted.
FYI, there were actually two disciplinary investigations ongoing, the other was unrelated and more serious than allowing illegals to live in your residence.
Are Trump supporters just so acclimated to, and enamored by, the lies of their political hero that the mere stating of simple facts triggers them?
