A New Mexico judge who let an alleged Tren de Aragua gangster live with him hung his head in shame as he and his wife were hauled from their home in handcuffs. 

Former Doña Ana County Magistrate Judge Joel Cano and his wife, Nancy Cano, were taken into custody on Thursday following a raid on their home in Las Cruces, New Mexico. 

The couple are facing charges of evidence tampering after they were allegedly caught harboring an illegal immigrant, named as suspected Venezuelan gang member Christhian Ortega-Lopez, in their home. 

Homeland Security investigator Jason Stevens told KFOX14 that officers initially only intended to arrest Nancy Cano, but ‘as we started obviously conducting our interviews and started looking at evidence, we subsequently arrested Mr. Cano as well.’
