A judge on Monday denied a motion by state prosecutors to detain five suspected Muslim extremists arrested after a raid at a Northern New Mexico compound earlier this month, clearing them to be released, pending trial.
Prosecutors presented several hours of testimony and evidence in court, but Judge Sarah Backus, an elected Democrat, said, “The state failed to meet the burden of showing the suspects were a danger to the community,” according to KOB 4.
