"The Judge learns that ICE was outside to get the guy, because he had been deported in 2013, came back into our country, charged with committing these crimes, victim is in court.
Judge finds out. She goes out into the hallway. Screams at the immigration officer. She's furious. Visibly shaken. Upset. Sends them off to talk to the chief judge.
"She comes back into the courtroom. You're not going to believe this. Takes the defendant and the defense attorney back in her chambers. Takes them out a private exit and tells them to leave. While the state prosecutor and victims of domestic violence are sitting in the courtroom."

Report uh we remember these words of Tom
0:50
Hman uh the borders are this was March
0:53
17th and his message on these judges who
0:57
apparently are trying to get in the way
0:58
of this administration's efforts listen
1:01
I'm proud to be a part of this
1:03
administration we're not stopping i
1:05
don't care what the judges think i don't
1:06
care what the left thinks we're coming
1:08
so when you see these judges trying to
1:11
obstruct your efforts to make this
1:13
country safer what is your message to
1:16
them we are going to prosecute you and
1:18
we are prosecuting you i found out about
1:21
this the day it happened we could not
1:23
believe actually that a judge really did
1:26
that we looked into the facts in great
1:28
depth that's her picture up on the
1:30
screen hannah Dugan who is now in
1:31
custody um you cannot obstruct a
1:35
criminal case and really shame on her it
1:38
was a domestic violence case of all
1:40
cases and she's protecting a criminal
1:42
defendant over victims of crime in fact
1:45
she just had an initial appearance in
1:46
court there's also this other case
1:48
coming out of New Mexico judge Joel Cono
1:51
and his wife were arrested for harboring
1:53
a TDA member at their home uh the
1:57
alleged TDA member had been picked up by
2:00
law enforcement and now he and his wife
2:02
were picked up and arrested and you say
2:04
that you believe as the attorney general
2:07
that the person that they were having
2:08
living at their home was a truly
2:11
potentially bad individual yeah that's
2:13
the judge up on the screen now who got
2:15
arrested yeah his name is Ortega he was
2:18
a known is a known TDA member known TDA
2:22
member so he comes through Eagle Pass
2:24
January December
2:27
2023 he's living in our country january
2:30
2025 ICE they get a tip tom Hman's done
2:33
a great job our FBI did a great job on
2:35
this case too they get a tip that he is
2:38
living with a judge and the judge's wife
2:42
so they have him arrested first on
2:45
immigration charges a judge Damen
2:48
Martinez releases him saying that Judge
2:52
Cano has a good BS meter and wouldn't
2:55
let just anyone live on his property
2:57
yeah i mean when you look at the
3:00
associations with this violent
3:02
Venezuelan gang Trend Aragua and this
3:05
person that they harbored in their home
3:08
uh he was showing signs through clothing
3:10
uh we are told tattoos uh there was
3:13
evidence through voice messages and text
3:15
messages of his association to TDA um so
3:18
what charges will Cano and his wife face
3:22
if any so Judge Cano soon to be former
3:26
Judge Cano got um he got his charges
3:29
were just unsealed he's charged with
3:31
obstruction he is charged he admitted
3:33
post Miranda he took one of the TDA
3:36
members cell phones himself took it beat
3:40
it with a hammer destroyed it and then
3:42
walked the pieces to a city dumpster to
3:45
dispose of it to protect him the wife
3:47
also is charged with destroying evidence
3:50
sandra not only that this TDA member and
3:53
and he had on a necklace that said kill
3:56
something about death he had tattoos all
3:58
over him he also had on his cell phone
4:02
pictures of two decapitated victims two
4:06
victims decapitated gruesome photos and
4:09
he was sending them out and and whoever
4:12
he was sending them to was sending back
4:13
say "Hey you need to be careful you
4:15
shouldn't be sending these you shouldn't
4:16
be texting these photos out." Not not
4:19
only that these two the judge and his
4:21
wife gave him assault rifles that belong
4:24
to their daughter that's what they're
4:25
charged with he in the in the criminal
4:27
report affidavit he goes to a shooting
4:30
range with these assault rifles with a
4:33
suppressor with other known TDA members
4:35
in their shooting this is the last
4:37
person that we want in our country nor
4:40
will we ever tolerate a judge or anyone
4:43
else harboring them let let me if I
4:45
could Madam Attorney General come back
4:46
to the Wisconsin case and Judge Hannah
4:49
Dugan because in allegedly letting the
4:53
perpetrator and the attorney out through
4:55
a non-public exit and allowed them to
4:58
get out in front of the building we had
5:00
a situation where we've seen that I know
5:02
Tom Hman was complaining about in
5:04
Colorado where there would be no
5:06
transfer of a defendant from a jail to
5:09
ICE custody on a detainer request in in
5:12
a way that was orderly ly and protected
5:15
public safety they would dump them off
5:16
in a parking lot and then ICE would have
5:18
to chase them around with the DEA or
5:19
whatever or FBI and pick them up this
5:22
ended up in a foot chase in in in public
5:25
um site it says here a foot chase and
5:27
shoot the agents and this was a DEA
5:30
agent an FBI agent pursued Florida
5:32
Flores Ruiz for the entire length of the
5:34
courthouse ultimately apprehended him
5:36
near the intersection of West State
5:38
Street and 10th Street so the judge
5:41
apparently has created a situation here
5:44
where you have a public foot chase and
5:46
we all know that while sometimes they
5:48
can be they can come off without
5:50
incident they can also turn into very
5:52
dangerous situations john that's exactly
5:55
right she put the lives of our law
5:57
enforcement officers at risk she put the
6:00
lives of citizens at risk a a a street
6:03
chase which is is absurd that that had
6:06
to happen but yes she put a lot of
6:08
people at danger in danger that judge
6:10
did it so did the other judge judge Kano
6:13
is charged with they were allegedly
6:16
giving him assault rifles AK-47s AR-15s
6:21
with a suppressor a known TDA member
6:24
letting him go to a shooting range to
6:26
refine and perfect his shooting skills
6:29
what's happened to our judiciary is
6:31
beyond me yeah so when when the American
6:33
public hears this and they think these
6:35
were once upstanding people in their
6:37
communities and and and their
6:39
professions and they put it all on the
6:42
line for this i mean have you dug into
6:45
their motive like what inspired them to
6:48
to carry out these acts and harbor
6:50
criminals they're deranged is all I can
6:53
think of i I I cannot believe I I think
6:55
some of these judges think they are
6:56
beyond and above the law and they are
6:59
not and we're sending a very strong
7:01
message today if you are harboring a
7:04
fugitive we don't care who you are if
7:06
you are helping hide one if you are
7:08
giving a TDA member guns anyone who is
7:11
illegally in this country we will come
7:13
after you and we will prosecute you we
7:15
will find you if if I could just finish
7:16
off with this with this idea very
7:18
significant development that you're
7:20
arresting judges now now it could be
7:22
that the judges have engaged in terribly
7:23
bad behavior and deserve to be arrested
7:26
but you know what critics will say
7:27
they'll say "Oh this is this is a
7:28
government that is expanding fed uh the
7:31
powers of the the um article one of the
7:34
constitution now they're arresting
7:36
judges." How do you respond to that no
7:38
one is above the law John no one is
7:40
above the law in this country and if you
7:43
are destroying evidence if you are
7:47
obstructing justice when you have
7:49
victims sitting in a courtroom of
7:51
domestic violence and you're escorting a
7:54
criminal defendant out a back door it
7:56
will not be tolerated and it is a crime
