Officials with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement made over 100 arrests in the controversial Texas development Colony Ridge earlier this week in a massive raid that a Trump official claims is only "phase one" of a larger operation.
On Monday, ICE arrested 118 individuals in the Colony Ridge area, a sprawling 33,000-acre development about a half-hour north of Houston. Some of those arrested already had outstanding warrants. Others were detained during traffic stops.
Perez is allegedly a member of the vicious transnational gang MS-13 and had previously been deported on suspicion of murder.
According to an X post from ICE, the arrestees have either been accused or convicted of crimes such as homicide, manslaughter, sexual abuse of a minor, and offenses related to drugs and/or weapons.
