‘Escape with the kids’: Pursuing the leaders of Lev Tahor on the Mexico border
Published By admin with Comments 0
Mexican and Guatemalan security forces carried out a joint operation along their shared border, attempting to prevent the leaders of the Lev Tahor cult from escaping.
The operation follows concerns that the leaders would attempt to smuggle additional children out, after around 200 cult members were rescued in a recent police operation.
Mexico’s Foreign Ministry placed special forces along the border, especially around the Chiapas area, where the cult had formerly been located.
“They will try to hide among the thousands of immigrants crossing the border every day,” the Guatemala government warned.
The concern is based in the cult’s long history: Since its founding in Israel in 1988, the cult’s members have moved between countries, leaving behind testimonies of forced child marriages and systematic abuse.
