According to a report that was published in a Mexican newspaper on Tuesday, law enforcement authorities in Mexico carried out large raids, during which they arrested twenty members of the Jewish cult known as Lev Tahor.


The report stated that the operation was conducted in a Mexican migration control facility on the country's border with Guatemala, where the cult members were being kept.


According to The Jerusalem Post, in the aftermath of the raids, the families of the detained members of Lev Tahor organized a protest against the conditions in which their loved ones were being held in the facility.

An extremist Jewish sect living in southern Mexico may have been forming plans to flee to Iran before their compound was raided last week.


The Lev Tahor compound near Tapachula, in far southern Mexico, was raided early on Friday by Mexican federal police cooperating with a team of advisors from Israel, including former Mossad agents.


Two sect leaders -- identified as Menachem Mendel Alter and Moshe Joseph Rosner -- were arrested on charges of human trafficking, and roughly 19 women and children from the group are being held at a migrant facility in Huixtla.

Mexican authorities arrested members of the Jewish Lev Tahor sect in a raid in which a three-year-old boy was returned to his father who had fled the community, Israel said Tuesday.


The raid took place on Friday "after the Mexican police collected incriminating evidence against several people in the sect on suspicion of drug trafficking, rape and more", the Israeli foreign ministry said in a statement.


Lev Tahor was formed in the 1980s and members practice an ultra-Orthodox form of Judaism in which women wear black tunics covering them from head to toe.


Israeli media outlets said the arrest operation took place in Tapachula, a town near Mexico's southeastern border with Guatemala.
