Chapter 1: Who is the corrupt judge arrested by the FBI and what were the charges?
vince that's e-x-p-r-e-s-s vpn.com vince for an extra four months free Yeah, we've got a big show on our hands today. First and foremost, we've got a judge who was just arrested by the FBI, by a bunch of, a couple of these federal government agencies, a lot of FBI agents there doing this arrest of a former judge by the name of Joel Cano, who was just arrested along with his wife, Nancy Cano.
And these guys were harboring an illegal alien inside of their home. in new mexico take a look at the video just out in the last 24 hours of these guys being arrested look at that that's the wife being tucked away inside of the vehicle they came and arrested her there's the judge in handcuffs fbi agents arresting him taking him into custody Makes a lot of sense.
And it's not just any illegal that this judge had in custody. In fact, this was a Tren de Aragua member in Las Cruces, New Mexico, a former judge and his wife taken into custody after authorities raided their home yesterday following accusations that they had an alleged Tren de Aragua member living inside of their house. Take a look at this. This is from the local Fox and CBS affiliate.
I guess they're kind of a combo affiliate there. This judge taken into custody, KFOX 14 and CBS 4 on the scene Thursday afternoon. That's where that video comes to us from. And they captured all this. When the home of former Dona Ana County Magistrate Judge Joel Cano and his wife Nancy Cano, when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement executed a search warrant and a probable cause arrest warrant
They described both were taken into custody. A spokesperson for ICE confirmed they were taken into custody as part of an ongoing investigation led by Homeland Security Investigations. Kano was charged with tampering with evidence and his wife Nancy was charged with
conspiracy to tamper the raid comes after he had resigned in march he just resigned his post because he was caught hosting someone called christian christian ortega lopez an illegal alien from venezuela they say in the copy here undocumented migrant that's another way of saying illegal alien from venezuela and an alleged TDA member.
Investigators saying that Nancy hired Lopez to work on the house. The wife did, she hired him. And then they said, well, why don't you live here? And then he started getting close to the daughter, they say. Look at the mugshots of these two, Nancy Cano and Joel Cano there. They say that he started getting close to the daughter and they just had the guy keep living in the house anyway.
You brought an illegal alien into the house. First of all, problem one, he starts getting close to your daughter. Yeah. Get this guy out of the house. What in the world are these guys thinking? So here you have. A judge in New Mexico caught by federal authorities, forced out of his job as a result of that, and now consequences.
This is the FO of the FAFO as this judge is now being placed under arrest. The FBI on the hand to arrest him yesterday. So W's in the chat. How about the live chat? A bunch of W's in the chat. This is very straightforward. You catch the guy committing a crime. You identify who exactly it was, and then you arrest him. This is it. This is what I want to see over and over and over again.

Chapter 2: What are the implications of judges harboring illegal aliens and interfering with immigration enforcement?
And an Obama-appointed judge called William Orrick has just jumped in the way of the president's sanctuary policies. I don't know what it was about yesterday. I think the left plotted...
this to be you know lunatic thursday or something because we have i i'm telling you i've got an endless series of these district judges who are acting like lunatics yesterday an obama appointed judge just blocked president from from denying funds to sanctuary cities thursday u.s district judge william orrick wait until you find what this guy's done in the past appointed to the bench by obama 2013 he ruled yesterday thursday
a pair of executive orders the president signed to crack down on sanctuary cities are unconstitutional likely according to the judge san francisco san diego and a slate of other liberal enclaves that refuse to work with immigration and customs enforcement sued to block the orders from going into effect you've really got to hate your own people
You've really got to hate your own people to sue Immigration and Customs Enforcement, who's only trying to make your city safe, only trying to protect the sovereignty of your city and of your state and of your country. You've got to hate the people who live there.
Here we go again, said Judge Orrick, referring to a previous executive order that President Trump signed in his first term seeking to defund sanctuary cities. That Judge Orrick was the same judge who shot President down at the time. So how does this happen?
How does Judge Orrick, Mr. Illegal Alien Invasion Supporter, how does that same judge end up with these same objections in front of him, this same case in front of him, two Trump administrations in a row? You think this is organic? You think anything about this is natural? That's judge shopping.
That's going out of your way to say, who's the guy who's going to help us execute this agenda by any means necessary? The law be damned. Well, it's Judge Orrick. It's the Obama appointed Judge Orrick. In 2017, President Trump signed an executive order called Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the United States, which sought to withhold federal funds from sanctuary cities.
So then San Francisco raised a challenge. Judge Orrick jumped in, said it was unconstitutional and that the defendants, quote, faced irreparable harm absent an injunction. What irreparable harm could the city of San Francisco possibly face from keeping illegals out? The left, don't they really specialize this? They specialize in completely turning logic on its head.
How is it that American citizens will be damaged by protecting them from foreign nationals who are breaking our laws? They wouldn't, they would benefit from it. So there's no harm here. The only harm is to the illegal aliens and the cruel people who are profiting off of them right here in the United States, all of whom are breaking laws.

Chapter 3: How are federal judges impacting immigration and sanctuary city policies?
So they say, for example, a proof of citizenship requirement would render obsolete several of the online tools that the plaintiffs have developed and routinely used to help eligible people register to vote. So they would have to update their websites. That's what this means.
That helping you register to vote would require you to add the line, you need to bring proof of citizenship when you register. That would be too much harm. We can't do this. So the judge says, okay, fine. No proof of citizenship then. Not right now. I'm gonna block that.
Additionally, the judge says that the lefty groups would have a harder time registering randos at the grocery store, random people.
that these lefty organizations, voter registration drives held at churches, grocery stores, and in other public places will be less effective if there is a documentary proof of citizenship requirement because many people who are eligible to register to vote do not carry their passport or other citizenship documents with them as they go about their daily routines.
What does this have to do with anything? Oh, the people we see at the supermarket, we can't just register them to vote because they would have to prove they're citizens. Another one, and this is great. Democrats in particular would be hurt because their base is far less likely to have proof of citizenship. Once again, who said it in the chat? This is the point.
This is the point of that, of the entire process. This is why Trump is doing it. Many of the Democratic Party officials, plaintiffs, have organizational standing to challenge this provision based on its effect on their ability to register new voters as members and supporters of the Democrat Party, which they do in service of their mission of electing Democrat candidates.
The DNC, the DGA, the DSCC, and the DCCC have each shown that the implementation of this section would make it more difficult for them to register voters who are likely to support Democrats
forcing them to divert additional resources toward further voter registration efforts well yes how many ways can this judge admit out loud that the point of all of this is so that democrats can get people who are not u.s citizens to vote for them finally this is the this is the one that had me just tickled to death and i and nobody's talking about this component let me just focus on this they say two of the democratic party's plaintiffs in particular
hakeem jeffries i call him the dial-up democrat because that guy thinks about as fast as a 56k modem he's constantly buffering when he's trying to speak between every word in every sentence he's constantly trying to figure out how he's going to get to the next one hakeem jeffries and chuck schumer have made clear showings the judge says

Chapter 4: What is the controversy around proof of citizenship requirements in voter registration?
Let me unfurl one of the things that has raised concern on the right. And I addressed this yesterday. I was talking about Dan Bongino and the efforts that they're undertaking. And I'm very happy with how aggressive the FBI has been on so many crimes. Recruitment is exploding. They're catching the top three, three of the top 10 most wanted. There's a lot of good indicators going on.
One thing that stands out is they promoted a guy called Steve Jensen in the Washington field office, who the right is very skeptical of, and for good reason, because he was a part of the crew that was going after parents at school board meetings in January, six people. And so most of us on the outside are looking at that guy going, well, he's one of the abusers.
How did he end up in a role like this? And I mentioned yesterday that on the very same date we found out that news, FBI Deputy Director Bongino posted, hey, if there are things that look like they're counterintuitive to our mission, you just have to trust that what we're doing in the end is the right thing.
So basically, that's a long way of me asking you, Mike Davis, what do you make of moves like that? And what should we make of them?
I'm not familiar with that particular move, but I fully trust Kash Patel and Dan Bongino. They're about as far away from deep state puppets as you can get. Remember when President Trump pick cash Patel, everyone said he was dead on arrival. And then the Article three project had about what, 250,000 phone calls into their home state senators and gave these senators an attitude adjustment. Yeah.
In about three days, they went from dead on arrival to when can he start? So just look, if Give these guys the room they need to get the job done. Again, they are making systemic changes. Yes. This is something that no Republican has done ever, and this is something that should have been done decades ago, right? Yeah, yeah.
Once you get the systems in place, once you build the car or rebuild the car, then you can drive the car.
Okay. Last one on this. And I want to ask you about judges real fast and thank you as always for your time, Mike. So you think that this isn't too big for the president's team to handle that? This is not, they're not, it's not too entrenched for them to conquer.
No. And if there's any, if there's any team that can do this, it's the team at the justice department. Now president Trump's team now with Pam and Todd and Chad and Emil and Stan and you know, so many good people over there, Harmeet, uh, Gail, Omid, there are so many good people in the Justice Department right now. And these are like, these are bold, serious reformers. I know all of them.

Chapter 5: Who are the key political figures and groups involved in the voter registration legal battles?
Chapter 6: What solutions exist to address judicial overreach and court shopping?
No, because I've been in regular contact with these people since before the inauguration. I know what's going on. Got it. Look, I've worked in the Justice Department several times. I've worked in the White House. I've worked in the House. I've worked in the Senate. I know how government works. otherwise you have acting people there.
And President Trump has already done big things with his executive orders at the Justice Department and Pam Bondi and Emil Bove and Todd Blanch and the others have done big things already at the Justice Department. Just one example, the Southern District of New York is this island in the justice system where they think that they report to nobody. Under our constitution, federal prosecutors
report to the deputy attorney general who reports to the attorney general who reports to the president of the United States who's elected by all Americans. But you have many of these federal prosecutors around the country and federal agents, particularly in the FBI, who don't think they report to anyone. And that has very much changed in the Southern District of New York.
They call it the Sovereign District of New York because they think that they're They don't report to anyone. Well, Emil Bove went in and gave them an attitude adjustment on about day one. And remember Danielle Sassoon? You heard her name for about three minutes. She made her headlines. No one hears about Danielle Sassoon anymore because she's not working for the Trump administration.
So when you talk about kind of the action that will be coming, when people think action, what they think is prosecutions. They think handcuffs, prosecutions. Is that what you're referring to?
Possibly. And I would say this, that there has to be systemic changes to the Justice Department, which is happening. They're cutting a lot of people out of the Justice Department. They're firing people. They're reassigning people. They're making the structural changes. So we're not playing whack-a-mole. going forward or putting a Band-Aid over a gaping wound.
And so they're actually going in and fixing the real systemic problems at Maine Justice and at the various litigating divisions and also at the FBI. Kash Patel and Dan Bongino are doing a hell of a good job.
Yeah, so you're talking about, you're getting to a key point, which is kind of the order of events. Because like, so I just, we started the show today with that New Mexico judge who had a Tren de Aragua member living in his house. And that's kind of an open and shut case. They found this guy, they knew he was Tren de Aragua, they knew he was living with the judge.
There's all sorts of ludicrous evidence from like how the guy was living with them and holding guns and ridiculousness. And so they rightly, they saw, okay, the guy violated the law. The judge and his wife were arrested yesterday. The FBI arrested these guys. And you're like, good, that's the kind of speed you wanna see.
