FBI arrests 5 at NM Islamic compound

The FBI announced Friday that they have arrested all five of the suspects at the New Mexico compound just days after multiple charges were foolishly dropped. The Islamic jihadis are being charged with violating federal firearms and conspiracy laws.

This action by the FBI may have prevented a mass murder rampage.

The announcement comes after local prosecutors dropped charges in the death of a 3-year-old boy at the compound site, evidently due to fears the judge would be called Islamophobic. Taos County DA Donald Gallegos said Friday his office would now seek grand jury indictments involving the boy's death. He added that seeking indictments would provide 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 FBI said in a statement.

"The criminal complaint charges Jany Leveille with being an alien unlawfully in possession of firearms and ammunition in the District of New Mexico from Nov. 2017 through Aug. 2018," the bureau added. "The criminal complaint charges the other four defendants with aiding and abetting Leveille in committing the offense, and with conspiring with Leveille to commit the offense."

Incredibly, on Wednesday, three of the suspects were released from custody, just hours after a judge dismissed all of the charges against them. This came after a diary was found at the compound outlining plans of a shooting attack.

District Judge Emilio Chavez dismissed charges against Lucas Morton, Subhannah Wahhaj and Hujrah Wahhaj, ruling that authorities violated the state’s “10-day rule.” It's a 10-day limit for an evidentiary hearing to establish probably cause.

In a separate hearing on Wednesday, Judge Jeff McElroy dismissed the same charges against their fellow defendants, Siraj Ibn Wahhaj and Jany Leveille.

Taos County Sheriff's deputies discovered eleven children at the compound and they were taken into the custody of state child welfare workers. On August 6th, a child’s remains were found on the property.

Children from the compound were interviewed. It was found that Siraj Ibn Wahhaj was allegedly training children to commit school shootings, prosecutors said. They were instructed how to kill teachers, law enforcement and would go to other "corrupt" institutions.

The FBI arrested all five suspects without incident on Friday afternoon in Taos.

Leveille, if convicted, faces a statutory maximum penalty of 10 years imprisonment then deportation upon completion of her sentence, according to the bureau.

If convicted of aiding and abetting Leveille, her co-defendants could each face a statutory maximum penalty of 10 years of imprisonment. If convicted on the conspiracy charge, meanwhile, the five could each face a statutory penalty of five years' imprisonment.

All five alleged scumwafers are scheduled to appear in federal court in Albuquerque on September 4th.
