The FBI announced Friday that it had arrested all five New Mexico compound suspects, days after multiple charges were dropped. The suspects were now being charged with violating federal firearms and conspiracy laws.

The announcement comes after local prosecutors dropped charges in the death of a 3-year-old boy at the compound site. Taos County District Attorney Donald Gallegos said Friday his office would now seek grand jury indictments involving the death. Gallegos said seeking indictments would allow more time to gather evidence.

"The defendants, Jany Leveille, 35, a Haitian national illegally present in the United States, Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, 40, Hujrah Wahhaj, 37, Subhanah Wahhaj, 35, and Lucas Morton, 40, are charged in a criminal complaint that was filed earlier today in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico," the bureau said in a statement.

You must be fairly young, or a curmudgeon. 😈

[DIRTYSECRET]

Sessions was scared straight?

Nope

[VTenigma]

I think it was in the ‘60s, Ephram Zimbalist and all that.

[JoeVet]

You’ll have to refresh my memory as well. I’m crowding 70 and can’t remember that far back.

[buffyt]

I am 67 and FBI. AND CIA have always been scary.

[Laslo Fripp]

I see your point.

[DIRTYSECRET]

If J Edgar wore women underwear we should all be scared.

[papertyger]

Well, at least they got the local prosecutor out of the loop!

I wonder if he’s hoping for donations as he seeks higher office....

[papertyger]

Whoops!

Apparently it was the judge that let them go, and I need to read more carefully.

[Rio]

I was sure that they would already be out of the country.

My Father was an NYPD Detective Lieutenant, During the fifties when in was stationed in Harlem, FBI would arrive at his precinct and ask if he send officers out to arrest people. The FBI agents were afraid to make arrest in Harlem. To rub it in my father would send Rookies to make the arrest, and he let the FBI know he was sending Rookies.

The FBI were using Obama’s Rules when they ignored this in the first place

[Roccus]

WHO were the "AUTHORITIES" that bulldozed the compound?
