They are lucky the NM police acted. This state is horrible with child abuse cases.The FBI refused to act on the terror camp of Linda Sarsour's buddies, who were killing kids and teaching them to shoot up schools....
So the local law took action.
And that's how it should always go.
"....the compound was first set up in late December. It is still unknown exactly why and when the spot was chosen. ...
..."A couple, Jason and Tanya Badger, went to the police in late April or early May once they did an internet search of Siraj Ibn Wahhaj and discovered he was a wanted a fugitive and the boy was missing.
..."The Badgers gave permission to the FBI to search the compound, as it was on their own private property."
"By early May, the FBI had strong evidence the fugitive believed to have the missing boy in custody was at the New Mexico compound. The legal owners of at least part of the land that the property was on had given permission for a search, making a “probable cause” standard for a search warrant unnecessary.
"The FBI also knew this compound was inhabited by Islamist extremists and they were probably acquiring weapons...The FBI did not act decisively, even as the compound prepared for war and the children were in peril, especially the missing boy who was almost certainly there and whom the FBI knew was in desperate need of medication.
"Yet instead of searching the property themselves, what did the FBI do?
"They asked the neighbor, Jason Badger, to wear a hidden camera and risk his life by approaching an armed, Islamic extremist compound.
"The FBI placed the compound under surveillance for at least two months before the raid, hoping to get a positive identification of the boy’s presence there—even though the extremists at the compound knew identification had to be prevented and had taken visible measures to make sure it didn’t happen.
"The Badgers didn’t like the idea of having Islamist extremist neighbors who illegally squatted on their property. They filed a petition to have them evicted.
"Their request for eviction—a very brazen move on the part of the Badgers—was rejected by a judge in June.
"During an August 7 news conference, a reporter asked why that wasn’t enough for the authorities to go in. The police spokesperson said it was a civil matter and not grounds for a search warrant. The extremists and starving children got to stay.
"The trigger for the raid was when the New Mexico police were provided a message by the authorities in Georgia.
"A message had come out of the compound. It said the children were starving and they needed food and water."
I bet they received thousands per month in foodstamps and other subsidies and entitlements.
Which I guarantee went directly to funding terrorism..here, and abroad.
