EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) – A former New Mexico judge and his wife were arrested on Thursday, April 24, after federal law enforcement learned that their tenant, who is an alleged Tren de Aragua gang member, was arrested at the judge’s home.

Cano and his wife were booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on a tampering with evidence charge with no bond.

As we previously reported, Cano rented out his casita to Cristhian Ortega-Lopez, who is an alleged Tren de Aragua member, at the behest of his wife last year. They met Ortega-Lopez when his wife hired him to do housework, according to a criminal complaint.

The District Attorney’s Office said Cano’s daughter had multiple firearms and let Ortega-Lopez hold, shoot, and pose with them in pictures that were posted on social media.
