The suspects accused of keeping 11 children in squalid conditions at a New Mexico compound are expected to be released on bond, which goes against the wishes of the FBI, prosecutors, and the Taos County Sheriff’s Department.

Judge Sarah Backus said the suspects—Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, 40; Lucas Morton, 40; Jany Leveille, 35; Hujrah Wahhaj, 37; and Subhannah Wahhaj, 35—can be released on $20,000 bond each on Aug. 13. They were ordered to wear ankle monitors, ABC News reported.
