Colony Ridge, a residential community near Houston that's been accused of being a safe haven for people in the country without legal status, was the focus of a federal immigration enforcement operation on Monday morning, according to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.

Abbott said in a social media post that he had worked with President Donald Trump's immigration adviser, Tom Homan, “for months."

Gov. Gregg Abbott stated he'd been planning the immigration operation in Colony Ridge for months to target criminals and immigrants. Observers said some people who were stopped were on to their way to work.
