Five people who resided at a makeshift compound in remote New Mexico were charged with kidnapping, firearms, and terror offenses.

Eleven emaciated children were discovered after a local sheriff’s office raided the compound near Taos, New Mexico. Deputies also allegedly found a cache of weapons and children living there without any food.
