Related: About this forumMissing boy died in religious ceremony, buried in compound; adults granted bond
Authorities raided the rural compound two weeks ago in the search for Abdul-Ghani Wahhaj but didn't find him. Abdul-Ghani, whose father, Siraj Wahhaj, is a suspect, died during a religious ritual ceremony meant to cast demonic spirits from his body, according to prosecutor John Lovelace.
...
Prosecutors alleged the family came to New Mexico to prepare for Abdul-Ghani's return as Jesus, so they could undertake "violent actions" against the government.
Abdul-Ghani would become Jesus after the demons were cast out, and he would instruct the adults at the compound which "corrupt" institutions to get rid of, such as the military, law enforcement and financial institution, Lovelace said.
...
The letter, written by one of two suspects, in part reads, "Allah says he will protect you always, so follow until he makes you die as a martyr as you wanted, and the only way is by joining the righteous (us)." The relative was advised to "take all your money out of the bank and bring your guns," according to a copy of the letter.

"After hearing four hours of riveting testimony, a New Mexico judge on Monday decided that five adults arrested in the New Mexico compound raid aren't a threat to the community and granted them bond."
No, I mean, what possible danger could they be? They're just accused of killing a toddler, prior to violent action against the government. And taking that child from his mother, and starving another 11 children.

Not to mention the "bring guns and die as a martyr" letter. Documentary evidence

if he threw these people in jail, what kind of precedent would that set for trump?

Doesnt killing your kid count as a homicide?

of a conspiracy to commit terror? That's a problem, for me.

Wrong. There is no greater threat to the community than among a mob of fanatics, and the fanaticism runs deepest with cults like this.

So the judge assumed the kid was unlikely to come back prior to conviction.
