Church in Houston (and elsewhere) busted for trafficking.

Church leader appears in federal court; DOJ alleges KOGGC operated as front for human trafficking, fraud
This guy has run Joshua Media Ministries for some time.
In a bit of irony, he's claimed
He became internet famous for his deposition that was released on Youtube a while back:
quote:
Michelle Brannon, listed as the executive director of David E. Taylor’s Kingdom of God Global Church, appeared in federal court Thursday, one day after multiple FBI raids across Houston and other major U.S. cities linked to the controversial religious organization.
Federal agents executed search warrants at several affiliated locations on Wednesday morning, including the Joshua Media Ministries International (JMMI) building in north Houston. Sources told FOX 26 that individuals found in some of the buildings needed medical care but refused it.
Taylor, a self-described apostle and head of the ministry, was arrested and is accused of using the church as a cover for human trafficking, forced labor, and large-scale financial fraud. The investigation has drawn national attention after years of public scrutiny surrounding Taylor’s activities.
Newly released court documents detail alleged patterns of manipulation and labor abuse. According to the filings, Taylor and Brannon instructed followers to apply for government-funded EBT cards, which were then used to feed the church’s staff. In contrast, staff were reportedly deprived of basic needs if they didn’t meet financial goals.

Taylor claims that his ministerial efforts have "resulted in entire drug rings being dismantled, sex-slave trafficking being broken, blinded eyes opening, deaf ears hearing, the lame walking and the dead being brought back to life!"

If he acts like a devil, he has brought forth a doctrine that will save us, if we will abide it. He may get drunk every day of his life, sleep with his neighbor's wife every night, run horses and gamble, I do not care anything about that, for I never embrace any man in my faith.

Churches are the largest supporters of illegal immigrants.

What you call “illegals immigrants” churches call “people.”

Taylor, a self-described apostle
He is a false teacher and a wolf, preying on people.

Hope this is just the beginning.
Multiple NGO's played a part in what was going on at the boarder during the Biden administration.

The churches get paid by NGOs to facilitate the importation of illegals
