TAOS, N.M.—Two girls who were among 11 children taken from a New Mexico compound raided last week by police were briefly reunited on Aug. 9 with their grandfather, who said that with their parents in jail he wanted to take them to his home in Egypt.
The girls, wearing pink and yellow headscarves, appeared happy to see Gerard Jabril Abdulwali, 64, as they hugged in the lobby of the Children, Youth and Families Department (CYFD) office in Taos, New Mexico. The compound was in Amalia, about 40 miles north of the town.
