https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ervil_LeBaron
Ervil Morrell LeBaron (February 22, 1925 August 15, 1981) was the leader of a polygamous Mormon fundamentalist group who ordered the killings of many of his opponents, using the religious doctrine of blood atonement to justify the murders. He was sentenced to life in prison for orchestrating the murder of an opponent, and died there.
He had at least 13 wives in a plural marriage, several of whom he married while they were still underage, and several of whom were involved in the murders.
After The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) officially abandoned the practice of polygamy in 1890, some polygamous Mormons, who were later excommunicated from the LDS Church, moved south to Mexico to continue the practice without the interference of U.S. law enforcement. Alma Dayer LeBaron, Sr. was one of these people, and in 1924 moved his family, which included his two wives and eight children, to northern Mexico. There, the family started a farm called “Colonia LeBaron” in Galeana, Chihuahua.[1]
When Alma died in 1951, he passed the leadership of the community on to his son Joel LeBaron. Joel eventually incorporated the community as the Church of the Firstborn of the Fulness of Times in Salt Lake City, Utah.[2] Joel’s younger brother, Ervil LeBaron, was his second in command during the early years of the church’s existence.[3] The group ultimately numbered around 30 families who lived in both Utah and a community called “Los Molinos” on the Baja California Peninsula.
Etc
re Colonia LeBaron
Let’s see, underage sex, multiple partners, crimes, crazy doctrine.
I can see now why the LeBarons and NXIVM got along.
LJ - when I read your excerpt, the lightbulb popped on for me. Earlier, in the other account, I couldn’t figure out what “religious persecution” these people were fleeing.
I just figured it out. What a mess.

Weve been doing this for 10 years. 100+ investigations. Weve won every defamation lawsuit ever brought against us. The networks settle lawsuits, selectively edit articles, and spike big news all the time. Name one thing @Project_Veritas has PUBLISHED that isnt true. NAME ONE https://t.co/vS0vjRTk7I— James O'Keefe (@JamesOKeefeIII) November 5, 2019
This guy is known for selectively editing videos... be careful what you believe. It was known 12 years ago that Epstein was a pedophile. This is not news.— Up is Down 🌴🐬☀️ (@truthsp3ak) November 5, 2019

ABC News' Amy Robach says she had the bombshell story on Jeffrey Epstein 3 years ago
That means she had the story in 2016
She said "we had [Bill] Clinton"
In 2016, Bill Clinton's wife, Hillary, was running for president
We may never know why ABC News killed the story— Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) November 5, 2019
Nice work, lj. Once again. Thx!
