The raid of Twin Flames Universe

Michigan's Attorney General is going after the Twin Flames Universe, a spiritual organization based in Leelanau County that's widely considered to be a cult.

The group was the subject of a popular Netflix series released in November 2023.

Investigators executed search warrants on July 1, including at the home of group leaders Jeff and Shaleia Divine. We talk with journalist Jacob Wheeler of the Glen Arbor Sun, who has been following the story for a long time.

Read a transcript of the conversation.
