Federal authorities have arrested multiple self-professed religious leaders across several states, including David Taylor and Michelle Brannon, in a sweeping investigation into forced labor and money laundering schemes. The leaders of the Kingdom of God Global Church and Joshua Media Ministries International are accused of exploiting followers, using them as personal servants and in call centers, and coercing them into soliciting millions in donations. Investigations revealed luxury properties and assets worth tens of millions of dollars, with authorities conducting high-profile raids in locations such as Houston and Tampa. The Department of Justice and FBI have underscored the seriousness of these charges, which include human trafficking and operating a multi-state forced labor organization.
