Ten men from a polygamist sect asked a judge on Monday to bar prosecutors from using thousands of documents seized from their West Texas ranch during their trials, saying law enforcement did little to verify the domestic abuse hoax on which the raid was based.

The men’s attorneys argued in court documents that Texas Rangers used fake calls to a domestic violence hot line as an excuse to rummage through the Yearning For Zion Ranch in April 2008. The men claim it was an unreasonable search and seizure.

The men, who belong to the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, face various charges including bigamy and, in some cases, sexual assault of a child. The first trial could begin in October.
