About 800 illegal aliens busted in Florida ICE operation

Buckle up, America—Operation Tidal Wave just crashed down hard. In a balls-to-the-wall team-up, ICE Miami and Florida’s finest badge-wearers rounded up nearly 800 illegals in just four days. This ain’t no small-time sweep; it’s a multi-agency gut-punch to the underbelly of illegal immigration.

Fox News got the dirt on some of ICE’s biggest catches from this ongoing blitz. We’re talking heavy hitters: a Colombian murderer, MS-13 and 18th Street gang scum, and a Russian with an Interpol Red Notice for mowing down a life.

Jose Sanchez Reyes, a Colombian who slipped into the U.S. like a ghost, was convicted of homicide back home. Guy’s got blood on his hands.

Rafael Juarex Cabrera, a Guatemalan MS-13 thug, has waltzed back into the U.S. three times like it’s a revolving door. He’s got a felony reentry rap on his sheet.

Savva Klishchevskii, a Russian, is wanted by Interpol for vehicular manslaughter. Bet he thought he could outrun that Red Notice.

Aron Isaak Morazan-Izaguirre, a Honduran 18th Street gangbanger, is flagged as a known or suspected terrorist. He’s allegedly snuck back into the U.S. twice. Bold move, pal.

Operation Tidal Wave’s still rolling, and Florida’s doubling down, locking arms with ICE to fuel President Trump’s mass deportation juggernaut. No brakes, no mercy.

CBP brought “extraordinary support” to the table, per officials, who’re calling this op a home run. ICE took to X, dropping a statement: “We appreciate our [Department of Homeland Security (DHS)] partner’s commitment to public safety.” 

This all comes hot on the heels of two judges getting cuffed for allegedly playing hide-and-seek with illegals. Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan’s facing charges of obstruction and concealing a migrant from ICE agents. She thought she could outsmart the feds.

Then there’s former Doña Ana County Magistrate Judge Joel Cano, 68, and his wife, Nancy, 67, slapped with evidence tampering. Word is they were harboring Cristhian Ortega-Lopez, a goon from Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua gang. That’s the kind of company they keep.

Operation Tidal Wave’s just getting started. Stay frosty, folks—this fight’s far from over.

Disgraced ex-judge and wife arrested for allegedly harboring Tren de Aragua thug

Federal agents stormed the Las Cruces home of former Doña Ana County Magistrate Judge Joel Cano and his wife, Nancy, Thursday, slapping cuffs on the pair for evidence tampering. 

The charge? Harboring Cristhian Ortega-Lopez, an alleged illegal alien and suspected member of Venezuela’s brutal Tren de Aragua gang.

“Under President Trump, we have arrested over 150,000 aliens—including more than 600 members of the vicious Tren de Aragua gang,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem declared. “If you are here illegally and break the law, we will hunt you down, arrest you and lock you up. That’s a promise.”

The arrest ties back to February when Ortega-Lopez was nabbed at the Cano residence. Court documents show the details: Nancy Cano hired him for home repairs, then let him crash in their guesthouse. Cozy setup—until feds linked him to Tren de Aragua through gang gear, tattoos, voicemails, and texts.

Ortega-Lopez slipped into the U.S. on Dec. 15, 2023, crossing near Eagle Pass, Texas, without papers. Border Patrol, were swamped and had to cut him loose three days later with a Notice to Appear for removal proceedings. Big mistake.

Feds later raided the home of the Canos’ daughter, April, seizing four firearms. 

Social media posts show Ortega-Lopez flexing with weapons, some allegedly April’s. He’s now staring down federal charges for illegal possession of a firearm under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(5). Conviction could lock him up for 15 years but the chances of him serving the full dime and a nickel are slim.

“Doña Ana County has been a hotbed of illegal immigration and drug trafficking, human smuggling for many, many years,” former ICE Field Office Director John Fabbricatore told WPMI. “To see that a judge would allow this to happen. It’s very concerning. It’s concerning. What else has the judge been doing?”
Cano quit his bench in March, and on Tuesday, the New Mexico Supreme Court dropped the hammer, banning him from ever holding judicial office again. Good riddance.

“The people of New Mexico are tired of a system where the powerful don’t play by their own rules,” Amy Barela, Chairwoman of the Republican Party of New Mexico, told the Las Cruces Sun-News. “We demand real accountability for Judge Cano’s connection to a gang-affiliated criminal and full transparency on how our judiciary is being held to the same laws as the rest of us. Enough is enough.”

Homeland Security Investigations is still digging, per KFOX. This mess is far from over.
