From the article: A majority of the towns' 8,000 or so residents are members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, which has been under government scrutiny for the past eight years because of its underage marriage practices.

It’s rather odd that they only raid NOW, after the Huttaree arrests.

Why is polygamy singled out for prosecution? We have
millions of absentee fathers, many who fathered children
with multiple women. Why is a man actually claiming the
children and maybe even caring for them worse? As far as
sexual behavior, we glorify every form of perversity there
is.

The Documentary Channel has been running a show on this group.
If this documentary is an accurate depiction of what takes place, it’s really sad what the women, children and even some of the men endure. The women and children are treated as property and men and older boys are routinely expelled so that the more favored men can have access to the women and children.
There is a preview of it on youtube at:
