Full Story

Nearly 120 people were arrested on Tuesday, Feb. 25, during a massive raid by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. ICE officials said the raid happened at a large Houston-area housing development community known as Colony Ridge.

What is the Trump administration saying?

President Donald Trump’s “border czar” Tom Homan told Fox News the effort was part of a larger operation.

Homan said that some migrants were apprehended at worksites, while others were arrested during traffic stops. Some also had warrants.

“I know for a fact, there was several sexual predators. I mean, child predators that were arrested for sexual misconduct with a child,” Homan told Fox News. “I know there was one that was convicted of either homicide or murder.”

Who was arrested?

Authorities did not release the identities of all 118 people they arrested, although. However, they did highlight some individuals.

An ICE spokesperson in Houston said one of the individuals arrested has been deported three times and was arrested on a warrant for repeated sexual abuse of a minor from November 2008 to November 2016.

ICE also said authorities arrested an MS-13 gang member who had previously been deported in connection with a murder.

The agency also revealed various charges and convictions associated with those who were arrested, including child sexual abuse, homicide, negligent manslaughter, theft, weapons and drug offenses.

What is Gov. Greg Abbot saying?

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott first revealed ICE operations at Colony Ridge on Monday in a social post. The post said authorities were “targeting criminals and illegal immigrants.” Abbott added, that he “worked with Tom Homan on this for months.”

What are immigrant rights advocates and residents saying?

Immigration rights advocates condemned the raid. They called it a “wave of terror directed at the Colony Ridge communities by the governor.”

One resident said the heavy police presence made them and their family fearful.

Why does Colony Ridge hold significance?

Colony Ridge has been brought up in the immigration debate several times. The area has drawn criticism from Texas Republicans and conservative activists over accusations of selling land to undocumented immigrants.

Critics also said the area is plagued with cartel crime. Local and state police have refuted that claim.
