ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. State prosecutors' motion to detain five adults arrested after a raid in northern New Mexico earlier this month was denied by a judge on Monday.
Judge Sarah Backus made the determination the suspects weren't a danger to the community following several hours of testimony and evidence being presented by prosecutors. Siraj Wahhaj, Hujrah Wahhaj, Lucas Morton, Jany Leveille and Subhannah Wahhaj each face 11 counts of child abuse, after 11 children were found living in deplorable conditions at the site.
Each suspect will have a $20,000 bond and will have to wear ankle monitors. In addition, they will not be allowed to leave the country, and any visits with children will be supervised.
State prosecutors outlined evidence suggesting that at least some of the suspects could have been planning some sort of attack. They said Siraj Wahhaj who also faces child abduction charges from Georgia after allegedly taking his 3-year-old son took several weapons classes before coming to New Mexico, and books found on the compound focused on how to build firearms at home.
Various weapons and ammo were found during the raid on August 3, and several more firearms were discovered in subsequent searches. The children were allegedly taught how to load and fire assault rifles.

I’m not a lawyer, but would imagine that FIB’s fustercluck wouldn’t negate/alter original jurisdiction.
Maybe one of our resident legal eagles will chime in.
Regardless, this travesty brought to mind the old colloquial phrase ‘The Hanging Judge’.
But a verb, not an adjective.
This is unbelievable!
...better yet...move in with her.
ANKLE MONITORS ????
What is the range of those items?
These people were living in a hole in the ground on property they DID NOT OWN & had NO PERMISSION to be on.
Might just as well have turned Charlie Manson loose, also.
If this keeps happening....back woods justice will come again. Im not kidding. When people feel like the justice system system no longer works and are disenfranchised.
True. These judges are playing with fire.
They had a warrant. The feds wouldn’t get one, but the state did
sessions is seeking out and jailing outlaw grannies and gramps that illegally purchase ginseng..
On property they didn’t own & without permission to be there.
They will be out of country in less than 24 hours via mehico. Count on it.
Unbelievable? I see you have never been to Northern New Mexico.
These Jihadists are FREE but you can sleep soundly tonight, Paul Manafort is in solitary for 23 hours a day for not paying his taxes, so you can all sleep like babies tonight we are safe
Thank goodness were safe from a display of ostrich coats. A true terror.
It’s not a threat. It’s what I fear may start happening. Is that the purpose? I pray not.
well, the girl judge sure is
And they will be prevented from doing this how? IMO, it's like telling the arrested illegals to show up in court next month.
Only the southeastern portion
I think the issues of the children will be in family court? Pretty sure different judge, CYFD, different rules. It is NM though and in the last several years this state has been the opposite of law and order. So I won’t be surprised if they get the kids back too before it is all over.
We will hear about this bunch again when they carry out an attack.
Can’t the DOJ take over this case and put the suspects into custody with ICE?
my thought was they could have gone there sooner for a welfare check before they got pc for a warrant..
That would mean Rip Van Sessions would have to awake from his stupor.
Women judges have a “thing” for male Muslim defendants. Not being sexist here, it happens time after time.
