Backus on Monday night ruled that three women and a man could be released and tracked with GPS ankle monitors pending their trial on child-abuse charges in connection with the treatment of their 11 kids kept on the site.
As of Tuesday evening, two of the women and one of the men remained jailed at the Taos County Detention Center; the third woman is a Haitian native was turned over to ICE agents, Sheriff Jerry Hogrefe told Albuquerque's KOB-TV.
A fifth man arrested during the early August SWAT raid at the remote compound isn't eligible for release because he remains jailed on a kidnapping warrant from Georgia. Authorities said he snatched his toddler son from his former wife but failed to give him medical care, causing him to die sometime early last year.
Is this the dead child discovered or another child?
Then when a theory starts, it gets shut down - along with the truth (more importantly) of what really happened. Someone obviously wanted something very uncomfortable to go away.
Meanwhile, Manafort gets solitary confinement for breaking tax law.
Not defending Manafort - just highlighting the unequal justice.
Yes courts want to give Manafort life in prison yet murderers seldom get that strict of a sentence.
Jason Badger owns the property, he had been trying to evict them. He also alerted several agencies four months ago that he had seen the now dead child in January.
Thanks - I wondered about that.
So - this "group" trespassed and set up a large camp, dug tunnels and "squatted" on the Land with ZERO approval by the Legal Owner.
Local/State/Federal officials refused to do anything to help this Landowner after many months and many reports - even after reports of Child Abuse and the kidnapped child (who they found dead and buried).
And then they found out that is was some sort of weird Training Compound to train children to Shoot up Schools and kill children ...... BUT ...... Yawn.
I guess this is one of those Hmmmm Moments.
Could it possibly be that the Squatters were Black?
Could it possibly be that the Squatters were Muslim?
Could it possibly be that the Feds were just too busy-busy-busy with RUSSIA-RUSSIA-RUSSIA?
Could it possibly be that NONE of them give a cow patty about an American Citizen Landowner?
Could it possibly be that the Local/State/Federal are actually just Hunky-Dory with all of this?
Well, a judge threw out Badger's eviction case against the squatters in June. The judge said that he didn't have jurisdiction over it. Don't know whose screw up that was. The land owner's rights were definitely being violated.
i've never understood if you own property, how people can move there and live there and not get kicked off? How is this not an automatic eviction with the sheriffs tellin them to leave or be arrested?

This should be the biggest thread on this page, but we're so divided as a nation thinking that Trump is a Nazi or all leftists are pure evil that we ignore real news like this.

Actually - in some parts of the world (looks like N.M. is in that basket) - Landowner's "rights" are only what a Judge/Supreme Authority says they are. That pesky Constitution and Law stuff doesn't matter.
Reminds me of Laws in Costa Rica -- a Squatter can break into a home, and live there when there is an absent Landowner (ie a Vacation home) and if not detected within a few months.....
The Squatter has ownership. That's Central America. Who knows what goes on in the USA any more.
There is an old saying - "You can't fight City Hall" - a lot of validity in that unless you have enough money to actually Fight the Bureaucracy and the "Not my Problem" "judges" with a teeny tiny "j" that appear to have the authority to just ignore both LAW and the Supreme Court.
It's a Problem - Much of our (so called) Justice System is totally Corrupt.
An odd story, the accused were only charged with child abuse or child endangerment. I'm hoping that there is a higher level federal investigation going on that we don't know about. But with all the stuff left behind, I surmise that the investigators didnt go back out, but some level of government didn't want the accused returning and hired and sent out Bobs Auto Recovery and Freds Construction to take care of some specific tasks.
Supposedly the couple who owned the ranch where the group was illegally camping reported them to the sheriff and started eviction efforts with the county. They had an eviction order and tried to present it to the judge when she was hearing the chargess initially as proof, I guess, of fact they were breaking the law by being there w/o permission..judge ignored them...
They also said the FBI was using drones to survey the property/camp for weeks after they heard that boy who was reported kidnapped by his father was on site but the FBI decided there was "no evidence" of wrongdoing to raid the compound--like kidnapping isn't a Federal crime
I think there is way lot of hinkey stuff going on here
Maybe just the screwups by the Feds in watching vs doing
But maybe the FBI was hoping they would actually try to carry out some of their reported illegal terrorist activities and they could catch them in the act--
Better than San Bernadino shooting...
