I want to know why the Sheriff bulldozed the place so quickly. It was on private property and they did it without the permission of the owner.

Are we reading the same article? Per the property owners:

Then, they tried unsuccessfully to evict them. When they learned that Wahhaj was wanted for kidnapping, they contacted the Taos County Sheriff's Office and gave them permission to search the property

Giving them permission to search the property is a whole lot different than bulldozing the place after they “searched” the property.

I don’t know where you live, but where I live BULLDOZE is most definitely NOT the same as PERMISSION TO SEARCH.

It was the Sherrif who bulldozed the compound, not the landlord.
