So we just allow this situation to continue?

Exactly how else do you propose to handle it?

Nobody who has condemned the government for how it’s handled this situation has offered as much as one idea of how to do it better or offered any alternatives at all.

I don’t know for sure how they are handling it, the only knowledge I have is media reports and posts here. I don’t really have enough information to know what authorities are doing and how they are doing it.

The only suggestion I have given as to how it should be handled is that all laws and procedures need to be followed, and the rights of these people should not be violated.

I keep saying this to you over and over and you don’t seem to understand or want to understand what I am saying and why I am saying it. I’m out of here- it is past my bedtime and you are not really interested in what I have to say.

Well I'd want some real evidence, testimony of known witnesses at least, before taking action in the first place. I'd want open warrants (what purpose is served in this case by not opening the warrant?), based upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. An anonymous person on the telephone can't swear an oath or affirmation, although the identity of a known witness or informant can be kept secret for a time.

I can think of several technical solutions to the cell phone problem. Getting the cell company to block calls to or from certain numbers or locations for example. Or getting a court order, again supported by Oath or affirmation (or physical evidence at this point) to "tap" the cell phone. I prefer the latter, for one thing it could provide evidence of the crimes.
