At the initial hearing on Wednesday, the judge determined that the arrest was illegal so he decided to release all the detainees, judicial authorities confirmed.
Federal and state elements had a search warrant for a home in Celaya where they seized firearms of various calibers. However, when they did not find the people they entered another property located as a “safe house” where they arrested the four people.
Therefore, the judge determined that the arrest was unlawful because it was carried out without a search warrant.
On February 1, a judge called Karina “M” “M” to be detained as legal.
