Is New York Attorney General Letitia James guilty of racketeering? Letitia James, the Attorney General of New York is in a whole amount of trouble. Tons of trouble
According to forensic accountant and former white-collar criminal Sam Antar, the evidence is more than damning. This video breaks down how James allegedly committed mortgage fraud across multiple properties for decades, while using the power of her office to conceal and defend those actions.

Should the DOJ finally bring RICO charges against Letitia James? Let me know in the comments.

What Democrat judges are telling President Donald Trump, Department of Homeland Security, and the Secretary of State they cannot deport illegal migrants who has criminal records and a danger to American people. Where are these judges coming from? Where do they think they have power higher than the President of the United States. Can anyone please explain where all this power got in their heads? Will this power in Democrat judges going to be the new norm?

Here’s a complete summary answering your questions concerning the biography and judicial biography of former Doña Ana County Magistrate Judge Joel Cano and his wife, Nancy Cano, their arrests for allegedly concealing Cristhian Ortega-Lopez, believed to be associated with the Tren de Aragua gang, and some other inquiries around the case. I intend to disentangle conflicting accounts, explain the comparison with the judge from Wisconsin, fill in the gaps where I can without violating facts, and comply with known facts, avoiding baseless conjecture.

Overview of the Case

Arrest and Charges:

Date and Location:

• On April 24, 2025, former Doña Ana County Magistrate Judge Joel Cano (68) and his wife, Nancy Cano (67), were arrested by FBI and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents at their home in Las Cruces, New Mexico.

Charges:

• The couple faces federal charges of evidence tampering.
• The Justice Department alleges they attempted to hide incriminating evidence, particularly by getting rid of a phone that is believed to have been owned by Cristhian Ortega-Lopez and had images and videos of him brandishing firearms.
• Joel Cano has admitted to decapitating the phone with a hammer and tossing it through a dumpster, which he believed would forever be exiled from Idaho in hopes that the trash would indeed shut the collection sights of Ortega-Lopez.

Allegations of Harboring:

• They accuse harboring suspicions over Cristhian Ortega-Lopez (23), a Venezuelan who unlawfully entered the US in December 2023 and is allegedly linked to the Tren de Aragua gang, which has been labeled as a terrorist organization by the US government.
• Ortega-Lopez was a tenant of a ‘casita’ (guesthouse) on Cano’s ranch and was captured on February 28, 2025, during a raid on their residence.

Ortega Lopez’s Charges:

• Ortega Lopez is facing federal charges of unlawful possession of a firearm as an illegal alien (under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(5)), which comes with a maximum sentence of 15 years in jail.
• Evidence tying him to Tren de Aragua includes gang voicemails and firearms, as well as socially documented firearms selfies with an alleged supplier, the Canoa’s daughter, and other criminal paraphernalia, including clothing and tattoos.

Investigation Background:

• The investigation was opened in January 2025 after an anonymous tip to HSI claimed that the Canos employed Venezuelan undocumented residents with the name Ortega-Lopez, who were granted free access to firearms.
• Federal agents executed two search warrants at the Allens’ home on February 28, 2025, claiming the seizure of four firearms from April Cano’s residence, three Ortega-Lopez cellphones, several laptops, and documents.
• Joel Cano later destroyed a fourth phone that was not immediately located.
• Investigators claim the evidence was hidden.
• Social media Ortega posts include photos of firearms taken inside a shooting range in Las Cruces, displaying Tren de Aragua tattoos, and mingling with the Cano family, including a 2024 Christmas family portrait made at their home.
• Other pics portray horrendous depictions of dismembered corpses, suggesting a range of possible gang affiliations.
• Claiming asylum loophole, Ortega crossed into US jurisdiction on December 15, 2023, by climbing a barbed wire fence near Eagle Pass, TX.
• Border Patrol detained and subsequently released him three days later due to population constraints, pending removal hearings.

Subsequently, he moved to El Paso, where he took up handyman work and met Nancy Cano, who offered to lease him the casita. He used Canos’ address to apply for immigration relief in April 2024.

Cano’s Resignation:

• After the February 28 raid, Joel Cano became one of the two Doña Ana County Magistrate Judges to step down simultaneously.
• This will not be disclosed publicly until the March 3 resignation is posted and takes effect on March 21, 2025.
• The New Mexico Judicial Standards Commission scrutinized him for his alleged “willful misfeasance.”

On April 22, 2025, the New Mexico Supreme Court permanently barred Joel Cano from all judicial roles in the state or context of Tren de Aragua:

• A Venezuelan criminal organization, “Tren de Aragua,” was involved in drug trafficking-related activities like human smuggling, extortion, and rampant violence.
• Considered a foreign terrorist organization by the US in 2025, 600 members were allegedly noted to President Trump’s immigration enforcement in the second term (starting January 20, 2025).
• Identification traceable to gang members has largely relied on attire, tattoos, and communications suppressed under the supported Alien Enemies Act Validation Guide, which scores affiliation using points like 4 points for tattoos.
• The Independent citizen lied.

The Life Story of Joel Cano and Nancy Cano

Joel Cano:

• Current Age: 68 (Upcoming April 2025)

Career Details:

• I worked as a law enforcement officer before specializing in the judiciary.
• Serving as the Doña Ana County Magistrate Judge from 2011, elected in 2010 as a Democrat, beating Francisco Ortiz and Maria E. Rodriguez in the Primaries alongside Ray Storment in the general election (with a casting vote number 55.1).
• Unopposed in succeeding elections in 2014, 2018, 2022.
• During his time with the magistrate judges in Doña Ana, Cabrera dealt with misdemeanor cases and preliminary hearings, among other judicial tasks for the county, which has a reputation for unlawful immigration, narcotics, and human trafficking.

Judicial Status at Time of Arrest:

• In his commentary to the press after Cano’s arrest, he emphasized the reality that he had resigned in March and not kept his current post.
• While stating this, Cano also said, “I want to regard myself as a former judge,” referring to his close case on the Judge on April 24, 2025.
• However, some reports wrongly quote him as “sitting judge, which explains the Presidency nominee confusion arising from the obfuscated judicial timeline Crossover covering Mendoza’s resignation.”

Response to Allegations:

• “No,” as some previous Yes placed judgments prior exclusively placed the default answer upon Ortega Lopez connections, producing far stronger grounds for the offense and rationalizing loose Ellisunger hit targets detaining “gang” during February 28 raid vaguely presented suspicions towards Jury of unbelieved structure trump hidden setups designed by ruthlessly contempt bam bahteecollision cruddy fund governing prud],” write purported details of lack connections Pedro Garcia has to sustaining appearing-Allow breath rid recoverable tape cover Schneider barred prints, Ricardo Castillo Boone.”
• Ortega-Lopez and those two Venezuelans were just “the boys” to him, and he justified letting them stay on the handyman work and perceived lack of danger.
• “It’s sensationalism at the highest possible level,” he said regarding the gang allegations.

Nancy Cano:

• Date of Birth: 11/11/1958
• Age: 67 (in April 2025).

Background:

• Little else is known publicly about Nancy Cano’s professional or personal life other than her marriage to Joel Cano and her involvement in this case.
• She does not appear to have held any public or judicial office.

Involvement:

• Nancy Cano accommodated Ortega-Lopez after evicting him from his apartment while He worked as a handyman in El Paso.
• Court documents suggest she sponsored his matters and helped him with his phone during a video call from the Doña Ana County Detention Center, which appeared as if they were tampering with evidence.

Community Perception:

• A neighbor and friend, Greg Gendall, noted the Venezuelans residing at their home.
• Excluding the Canos, he gave them a positive description, remarking that they all appeared friendly and waved to some of the neighbors.

Family:

• April Cano was reported to have assisted Ortega-Lopez in assuming control of firearms that were in the possession of her former partner, with him being able to “hold and sometimes shoot” the weapons.
• Four guns were seized from her home in the February raid.
• No public information is available regarding the broader family history, education, or personal motivations for the Canos, other than what is reported in court documents and various news sources.

Discrepancies in Headlines and Their Corrections

Was Joel Cano a Sitting or Retired Judge?

Correction:

• Joel Cano was a sitting judge when the raid occurred on February 28, 2025.
• However, he resigned on March 3, 2025, effective March 21, 2025.
• By the time he was arrested on April 24, 2025, he was a former judge.
• Algorithmically, any reports that refer to him as a “sitting judge” would reflect his status before he resigned or possess some journalistic error.
• His permanent ban, which the New Mexico Supreme Court issued on April 22, 2025, corroborates his former status.

Source of Confusion:

• Several sources failed to account for Cano’s public resignation, which came to light during Ortega-Lopez’s arrest, or the details surrounding the April 18 – 21 frame, as they focused on the arrest. Rather, they ignored the public’s knowledge of the event.
• Unofficially, many sources use “judge” interchangeably regardless of whether he is serving, thus suggesting he is still active.

Name Discrepancy (Joel vs Juan Cano):

• Reports and posts across X claim Joel Cano’s name as “Juan Cano.”

Response:

• His name is Jose “Joel” Cano, as official documents about the court state.
• The assumption that he is “Juan” is most likely a sloppy mistake of name conflation judgment due to preconceived, misguided notions, or an outright misreport.

Nature of the Relationship with Ortega-Lopez:

Alleged Sexual Relationship:

• Speculation exists regarding Canos and Ortega-Lopez having some form of sexual relationship, which I would consider a strong allegation.
• No evidence backing this allegation has been found in court records, news articles, or X posts.
• Such claims stem from outrageous social media stories or interpretations of familial relations (social media photographs and family pictures) between Ortega-Lopez and the Canos.

Received Relationship:

• Ortega-Lopez was employed by Nancy Cano for home remodeling work in El Paso.
• After his eviction, she provided him with the casita. In April 2024, he sought immigration relief by listing the Canos’ address.
• In social media, he is shown attending family functions, including Christmas 2024, which indicates some level of familiarity with the family but not much beyond the legal allegations against him in court.
• Joel Cano’s Wienerschnitzel letter cited Ortega-Lopez among some amigos as “the boys,” so he was possibly sympathetic or paternalistic because the family employed the boys.

Why he would do such a thing is a complicated question, which is why Ortega Lopez and the Canos’s accusations of harboring evidence and engaging in evidence tampering are still indefensible due to the progressing course of the law and scant public statements. Speculative reasoning is avoided here, and what’s available is more plausible.

Humanitarian Aid or Supportive Hope:

• Joel Cano suggests to the New Mexico Supreme Court that he and Nancy think positively of Ortega-Lopez and hope for the Venezuelans.
• Initially, Nancy offered the casita after Ortega-Lopez’s eviction.
• At the same time, Cano claimed that he did not learn about the gang affiliations until the raid happened.
• He stated that he would not have allowed his grandchildren near them had he sensed any hint of danger.
• As a police officer and later a judge on the border, Cano must have encountered countless immigrants.
• He seemed to sympathize, which might mean he underestimated the danger of Ortega-Lopez’s affiliations.

Panic Response as Evidence Tampering

• Joel Cano stated he destroyed Ortega-Lopez’s phone out of fear it held incriminating images and videos of him posing with firearms.
• This implies a panicked attempt to shield Ortega-Lopez or themselves from legal consequences after the February raid increased suspicion.
• Nancy’s use of the phone as a visual prop to talk to the detention center suggests an attempt to manage evidence control.
• The charge of tampering with evidence paints them as having some foreknowledge of the illegality of their conduct withdrawal attempt, and possibly as part of a prosecution pre-emptive strike against prosecution for concealment stemming from harboring or gang association.

Lack of Due Diligence:

• The Canos have not conducted any background checks on Ortega-Lopez.
• According to the court documents, he was employed to perform handyperson services—something not out of place in border towns.
• The fact that they permitted him to remain in their home and subsequently allowed him to utilize their address for immigration relief indicates a trust, perhaps quite careless, in his character background.
• Social media image captures of Ortega-Lopez with the family show some familial ties, which likely made them overlook warning indicators such as tattoos and other signs of gang culture.

Lack of Criminal Conspiracy Evidence:

• The sources do not suggest that the Canos benefited from supporting Ortega-Lopez or were informed participants in any of Tren de Aragua’s crimes.
• The accusations involve someone providing shelter and tampering with evidence, not directly participating in the gang’s functions.
• John Fabbricatore’s comment, “What else has the judge been doing?” reflects suspicion without providing proof to encapsulate what other wrongdoing exists beyond what is being described.

Political or Ideological Considerations:

• As a Democrat elected in a region dealing with immigration issues, Cano reportedly had sympathies but did not admit to any knowledge of the gangster associations.
• Supporters of Trump and critics, as he does, view this as a chance to prove the Democrats are too forgiving concerning illegal immigration, which is unfounded, based on court documents.
• This evidence comes from a conscious decision to tamper with evidence, which indicates an attempt to defy legal consequences rather than demonstrative defiance.

Why Is Tampering with Evidence Done?

• The destroyed phone and everything else show an effort to suppress evidence that could strengthen the case against Ortega-Lopez or further implicate the Canos.
• This might indicate panic, feigned loyalty to Ortega-Lopez, or fear of reputational harm.
• The motive remains to be explained in court.

Disproof of Sexual Relationship

• As documented earlier, there were no credible reports that a sexual relationship existed.
• These claims are a product of fabrication or misinterpretation of the Canos’ too-close interactions with Ortega-Lopez, which is supported by family and social media photographs.
• From a rational perspective, the Canos seemed motivated by compassion mixed with a degree of legal imprudence and some degree of misplaced empathy.

Your willingness to adopt two rescue German Shepherds is wonderful—especially given their difficult pasts as adults. 💛 What you are dealing with is common for dogs who have spent their lives in kennels or shelters. Since they were never taught that there is a difference between ‘inside’ and ‘outside,’ they are attempting to navigate a set of instincts and habits from that environment.

Here is a game plan that many people have found helpful when trying to housebreak adult rescue dogs:

Go Back to Puppy Basics (Structure is Key)

• Even though they are over a year old, you must treat them as newly born puppies in potty training.
• That means:
• Take them outside on a leash every 2-3 hours, especially after eating, drinking, waking up, or playing.
• Stay with them until they go, and praise or treat them immediately.
• Timing is very important – make a big deal out of it.

Draft a Feeding and Potty Schedule

• Like children, dogs thrive on a daily rhythm, so feeding them at a set time each day will also help regulate their toilet routine for subsequent days.

Crate Training Can Help (Even with Adults)

• I think two-thirds of the population has been isolated or “crated” at some point in their lives.
• If you belong to this group, pick the right size crate.

Note: Bladder issues aside, never think it scientifically acceptable to expose an adult to an environment they were conditioned to eliminate in. Patients are conditioned to be eliminated in a cage where they are kept, and they need considerable time in advance for kenneling before re-housetraining begins.

Supervise Closely Indoors

• Keeping track of your dog’s movements in the home can be a painstaking task.
• If the dog randomly pops in, you should actively supervise them as a responsible pet parent.
• When you cannot supervise, keep them leashed inside or electronically confined in a small area.
• Close observation means identifying undesired behavior before it happens, so you should allow a few seconds before getting it outside.

Remove Odor and Clean Messes Properly

Use odor removers such as enzymatic cleaners (such as Nature’s Miracle). If they notice urine and feces smells in the same spot, they will be attracted to them.

Exclude Medical Problems First

Checking for gastrointestinal disorders and UTIs is also a good routine practice. These are always good to rule out when accidents happen seemingly randomly or frequently.

Consistency and Being Patient Wins

Depending on how traumatized and conditioned the dogs are, this could take several weeks or much longer. But yes, they can learn. It is important to celebrate small wins and never punish mistakes because that will add anxiety.

Would you like me to draft you a short, printable training schedule and checklist you can follow daily with the dogs? Or a log where you could track the potty times and progress? I would be glad to assist with that! 🐾

The lesser sum lent for a non qualified mortgage (Non-QM) loan, bank statement loan, as well as debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) loans differ according to the individual non qualified mortgage bank and the particular loan program in question. The following outlines what I have gathered:

1. Non-QM Loans:

Minimum Loan Amount: Often, it is around $100,000.

For instance: Non-QM Mortgage Lenders has non-QM loans extending to $100,000 as their sole non-qualifying amount.

2. Bank Statement Mortgage Loans:

Minimum Loan Amount: Generally not lower than $100,000.

For instance: Preferred Mortgage Rates provides bank statement loans which also cannot go lower than $100,000.

3. DSCR Loans:

Minimum Loan Amount: It is at the discretion of each lender and usually ranges between $100,000 and $175,000.

For example:

GCA Mortgage Group makes available DSCR loans and their minimum ad qualifying amount stands at $100,000.

For the DSCR Loan program, the North American Savings Bank (NASB) set the minimum loan amout at $175,000.

The amounts discussed are often used as markers, which means the lower limits may exceed these values. As stated before, locations of properties, policies set by the lender, and many more factors may also end up impacting these numbers greatly. To form a more precise figure aligned to your set finances and borrowing expectations, one must make contact with the lenders directly.

Your financial outline is quite a well-thought-out one. Those seven steps are a practical method of taking charge of your money and building a future. I appreciate your effort in thinking through the steps, and I am happy that you would like to get help. I assume you are looking for different perspectives and conversations around this, so I will put this into a story and incorporate a few of my observations without making it very formal. If there is something specific you want me to focus on, let me know!

Know How You Are Financially Today

Having a good first step means getting a recent snapshot of where you are in terms of finance, and that is important. This step’s hesitation often confronts the numbers, which is uncomfortable, but moving forward isn’t necessary. Tracking expenses is not at all exciting, but there are platforms such as Mint or YNAB that help simplify this. Recently, I have seen a few users on X expressing frustration over inflation affecting their budgeting plans, where gas and grocery shopping are much more expensive than anticipated. Your idea of categorizing specific fees is brilliant; your mid-level subscriptions are an excellent example of how much we overspend without even noticing.

Establish Solid Short and Long Term Financial Goals

Seeing you divide this into short and long-term goals is helpful. Paying off a credit card balance is something I can achieve fairly quickly, but it is motivating to think of big goals like purchasing a house. I’ve also noticed that more and more people are anticipating “mini-retirements” rather than waiting only to retire once they turn 65. Making goals prevents you from getting derailed. Writing those goals down (or tweeting them out for some public accountability) assists people in adhering to them.

Prepare a Practical Budget

Budgets often get viewed negatively because they seem to limit, as claimed, but I believe it gets a balance – budgets are about balance. Many people have been online proposing the 50/30/20 rule (50% needs, 30% wants, 20% savings) as a baseline, but many modify it to fit their circumstances. With increasing rent and mortgage rates, Redfin claims the average house payment will be $2,997 in January 2025. It’s getting more difficult, but it is also essential to prioritize necessities. Keeping the monthly budget adjusted helps as well – life isn’t static.

Create an Emergency Fund

Saving up money over three to six months is the golden rule, and it can help you during emergencies like car repairs or unexpected medical expenses. Recent layoffs in the tech and retail industries have caused many people to withdraw money from savings, which has been trending on X. Putting that money into a high-yield savings account, which many banks offer at 4-5%, is more beneficial than letting it sit in a checking account. Treating your savings like a bill that needs to be paid is a great mental trick and will help encourage consistency.

Remove And Control Debt

Debt is often viewed as a beast, but your high-interest debt solution(strategy), which focuses on solving the most time-consuming debt first (the avalanche method), is impressive and saves the most over time. The snowball method has also become popular because of the immediate wins that positively impact one’s self-esteem. As per the recent data from the Fed, the average credit card interest rate is a terrifying 20% APR, so logically, solving them first makes more sense. The real issue is preventing new debt; people are continuously tempted by “buy now, pay later” schemes.

Look Ahead

Retirement plans are increasingly discussed since individuals are maximizing their 401(K) plans (which will be $23,500 in 2025) and investing in Roth IRAs, and expecting life expectancy to increase means that planning for 30 or more years post-work is scary but achievable. For many people, insurance is an afterthought. However, it’s one of the first things a financially responsible person secures. A good insurance policy and health, rent, and care can save you from wiping out most of your hard-earned savings. Remember your child’s 529, as college is only getting more expensive.

Monitor and Adjust Your Financial Plan

This is practice. There are countless resources available where you can get help and inspiration, such as podcasts and X threads, because people are kinder on the internet. Personal capital is an option along with spreadsheets; many individuals are taking advantage of AI-driven finance apps that offer real-time assistance. Financial advisors are good if you make a big decision, such as investing a large sum of money. If you put in the effort, DIY becomes a viable option because it doesn’t require effort. It’s great how economically unstable changes such as rate hikes, a recession, or inflation opens up quickly.

Concluding Remarks

This is a winning plan because it is comprehensive but not overwhelming – everyone can begin with baby steps and build up. Recording it also adds to the experience because it feels like you have a financial diary to rely on for motivation. Judging from what I am seeing, people who take this approach seem more in control of their lives and less stressed, at least during troubled economic times. If you are trying this out yourself, how’s it going up until now? Or if you want me to elaborate on one particular step – the payment of debts or other forms of investment – don’t be shy to tell me!

Below is a complete daily housebreaking timetable along with a training checklist specifically catered to your two German Shepherd rescues. It is in easy-to-read paragraph format for reference and printing.

Daily Housebreaking Timetable & Training Program for Adult Rescue Dogs

Working on housebreaking adult dogs, especially rescues that never had proper training, will need structure, consistency, and a lot of patience. This routine aims to reset your dogs’ perception concerning appropriate locations to relieve themselves. If you adhere to the prescribed schedule over time, your dogs will learn to adopt a more predictable indoor lifestyle.

Morning Routine:

Each day should commence with a fixed wake-up time. Immediately upon waking up, even before breakfast or that first sip of coffee, take both dogs to the specified potty place. Accompany them, keep them on a leash, and wait quietly. In the first few minutes of the walk, offer enthusiastic praise and a small treat once they have relieved themselves. This first outing is crucial and sets the tone for the day.

Feeding Time:

Every morning, provide them with food at the same time. After eating, wait 10-15 minutes, then immediately take them outside. Once again, wait with the dogs until they relieve themselves and reward them immediately afterward. Following a structured feeding schedule helps regulate their need to go.

Midday Potty Breaks:

For pet owners at home during the day, suggest a potty break a little before lunch—especially if they are inside or snoozing. Even if they do not go, this reinforces the outdoor routine and teaches them that the outdoors is the place to go.

Afternoon/Evening Outdoor Time:

Allow them to have outdoor play or kennel time during mid-afternoon, but supervise closely if they eliminate during that time. Before bringing them inside, take them out for a short leashed walk or potty break to help ensure they are emptied. This breaks the current habit of going immediately after entering the house.

Meal and Post Meal Potty:

Dinner should be consistently served every evening at least 3 hours before bedtime. As a routine, take them out 10-15 minutes after the meal and reward them when they go potty outside.

Pre-bedtime Potty & Wind Down:

Offer one last potty trip just before bed. Quiet down the house as bedtime approaches. If creating nightly, ensure they’ve gone before crating and avoid water too close to bed unless it’s been hot or they’ve been active.

Strategy for Crate and Indoor Supervision:

Use a crate or an area that limits movement to discourage accidents if you cannot supervise closely. If they are with you, leash them to your waist or keep them close enough to spot signs of prepping to go, such as sniffing, pacing, and circling. When you witness them trying to do something inappropriate, calmly interrupt them and take them outside immediately.

Cleanup and Prevention:

These things take time, especially at the very start. To remove the temptation of scent marks, employ an enzymatic cleaner to remove smells completely. Avoid scolding or punishment as well. This causes confusion and fear, especially in traumatized dogs.

Tracking and Progress Assessment:

Plan schedules, set goals, and track potty times, accidents, and successes alongside the rest. Look for behaviors that could help shift the schedule leading up to an adjusted one. Identify patterns and plan ahead to make alterations as needed. If they consistently go indoors at a certain time, shift the potty break before the scheduled time.

Provide structure and encouragement; your girls will happily learn the difference between outside and inside etiquette. Always remember that they are not being stubborn but rather simply unlearned—normalize the environment for learning. Invest your efforts, and in return, they will reward you with enduring love, loyalty, and, in due time, success.
