0:00
so rare for victims to want to cooperate
0:02
they wanted to cooperate they were
0:03
sitting in the courtroom with the state
0:06
prosecutor the judge learns that ICE was
0:09
outside to get the guy cuz he had been
0:11
deported in 2013 came back in our
0:13
country commits these crimes charged
0:16
with committing these crimes victims in
0:17
court judge finds out she goes out in
0:20
the hallway screams at the immigration
0:22
officers she's furious visibly shaken
0:25
upset sends them off to talk to the
0:27
chief judge she comes back in the
0:30
courtroom you're not going to believe
0:31
this takes the defendant and the defense
0:33
attorney back in her chambers takes them
0:36
out of private exit and tells them to
0:37
leave while a state prosecutor and
0:40
victims of domestic violence are sitting
0:43
in the courtroom wow you know madam
0:45
attorney general great to have you here
0:46
and thanks for coming back on America
0:48
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
2:27
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
