A recent law enforcement operation in Colony Ridge, Texas, targeted criminals and illegal immigrants in collaboration between the Texas Department of Public Safety and Homeland Security Investigations. Governor Greg Abbott announced the initiative on social media, highlighting the efforts to apprehend individuals involved in criminal activities within the Liberty County housing development.
Residents captured images and videos of the operation, showing law enforcement officials making arrests in multiple neighborhoods. The presence of Homeland Security personnel and DPS troopers was notably high, with officers stationed at various points along local roads for hours.
The development of Colony Ridge expressed gratitude for the operation, emphasizing their support for efforts to remove criminal elements from the community. However, concerns were raised by individuals, such as Pastor William Llana of San Esteban Episcopal Church, who emphasized that not all residents are criminals and expressed worry over the operation’s impact on the community.
The operation follows a lawsuit filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton against the developers of Colony Ridge, alleging deceptive trade practices and targeting of Hispanic buyers with limited credit access. As the situation continues to unfold, updates are expected as authorities maintain their efforts in the area.
