Governor Greg Abbott announced on X this morning that Colony Ridge, a development north of the Houston area long suspected of being a hotbed for illegal aliens and cartel activity, was being targeted by Homeland Security Investigations.
He announced that Texas DPS troopers, as well as special agents, were assisting Homeland Security personnel in the operation. This comes just weeks after the high-profile arrest of three illegal aliens near Colony Ridge and the seizure of 350 pounds of methamphetamine from a home that one of those illegal aliens had allegedly been using as a stash house.
Abbott says he’s been working with border czar Tom Homan to address Colony Ridge for months. The development has also been the target of lawsuits from both the State of Texas and the U.S. Department of Justice.
