Prosecutors missed a 10-day deadline for a hearing to establish probable cause for the child neglect charges, Judge Emilio Chavez said, the Associated Press reported.
Lucas Morton, Subhannah Wahhaj and Hujrah Wahha can still be charged by prosecutors, but there was no indication as to how things would move forward, the Associated Press said.
Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, 39, and his partner, Jany Leveille, still face charges. It was Siraj Ibn Wahhajs 3-year-old son whose remains were discovered at the compound.
There were 11 children discovered at the compound, whom Taos County Sheriff Jerry Hogrefe described as looking like third world country refugees not only with no food or fresh water, but with no shoes, personal hygiene and basically dirty rags for clothing, Fox News had reported. The conditions were the ugliest looking, filthiest he had ever seen, the sheriff added.
Authorities described Wahhaj as heavily armed with an AR15 rifle, five loaded 30 round magazines, and four loaded pistols, including one in his pocket when he was taken down when the compound was raided, Hogrefe said, Fox reported.
Hogrefe has said that the adults at the compound were considered extremist of the Muslim belief, but he did not elaborate, CBS News had reported.
Prosecutors said that Wahhaj was using the guns to train the children how to perform mass school shootings, The Daily mail had reported.
The compound, located near the Colorado border, is linked to extreme Muslims, according to various reports, includingFox News.
The New York Post had revealed that Siraj Wahhaj is the son of a Brooklyn imam of the same name, who is 68 years old and leads the Masjid At-Taqwa in Bedford-Stuyvesant, according to several congregants.
Prosecutors named the elder Siraj Wahhaj born Jeffrey Kearse as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. He also was a character witness in the trial of convicted terror plotter Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, The Post reported.
The imam was at one point on a list of people who may be alleged as co-conspirators to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, court documents released by prosecutors Wednesday said, CBS had reported.
The elder Siraj Wahhaj testified as a character witness for the blind sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, who was convicted in 1995 of plotting terror attacks in the United States, CBS said.
There was a monthlong investigation into the disappearance of the younger Wahhajs son, 3-year-old Abdul-ghani Wahhaj, who is said to have medical issues and went missing from Georgia in December 2017, Fox said.
There is a dead child.
Who in the world has the interest of the dead child in mind?
Shame on New Mexico.
btt
Fine, then time for Federal charges to brought against them.........or do they only do that to law enforcement when they don’t get the result they want?
Someone in this mess is a CIA/FBI asset, IMHO.
Exactly. What the hell is going on here? It is WAY past time we stop putting up with this.
Law is in the courtroom, justice in the alley.
I’d go beyond that. I’d call it “collaboration”.
Bingo.

Chicken Dinner!
What in the kcuF?
Deep state coverup? Alex Jones is right?
Sounds like the prosecutors dropped the ball and the judge had no option other than to release the defendants. Maybe there is something more going on behind the scenes.
“It can only be utter incompetence or its a cover-up.”
I’ll take “door” #2, and you can keep the $200.
They’re lucky they weren’t white or the feds would have burned the place down with them in it.
Camp cleared by unnamed authorities.
Dismissed by commie judge.
Coordinated effort?
Conspiracy?
Judge and authorities colluded?
