Colony Ridge is a more than 30,000-acre housing development located less than forty miles north of Houston. Located in East Texas’ Liberty County, the subdivision has been the subject of numerous media stories linking the neighborhood to a significant population of migrants in illegal status and for the developer’s questionable land sales tactics targeting mostly Hispanic consumers.

The area is frequently noted for criminal activity related to migrants illegally present in the United States. As reported by Breitbart Texas, three previously deported illegal aliens were arrested in a targeted traffic stop that resulted in the seizure of nearly 350 pounds of methamphetamine in mid-February. {snip}
