Nice work, judge (Laura Fashing)! I'm sure the FBI loves you, after they intervened to work on this case, only to have this suspect given another chance to flee.

I find this strange since it was a federal magistrate who released the suspect to a halfway house.

Don't federal judges have a reputation for being a bit tougher?

Well, Albuquerque ranks #1 in the nation for stolen cars, so no suprise that the police don't follow up with it in a timely manner.

Any plans out there floating in the works to try and lower those astronomical stolen car rates in Albuquerque?

They already are going down. Auto theft is down 39 percent from 2017. In fact, most every kind of crime is down in the city.
