Colony Ridge Update

If tweet fails to load, click here. Just finished reading the full court document: The settlement reached with Colony Ridge by @HarmeetKDhillon and @KenPaxtonTX is fascinating.
When I first joined @realDailyWire in July 2023, this was the first investigation I worked on. @SpencerLndqst had just returned from a trip to Colony Ridge, and his description of what he saw was almost hard to believe. It was the fastest-growing housing development in America, fueled by illegal immigrants pouring into the country. All advertising was in Spanish, and the business model clearly targeted illegal immigrants: sell them substandard land at sky-high interest rates, foreclose when they default, then restart the cycle with another illegal immigrant. Drug cartels gained a foothold, and murders and other violent crime became routine.
Important background: This federal lawsuit was initially brought by the Biden administration, based on @realDailyWire reporting about how Colony Ridge marketed to illegal aliens. The defrauded class was the illegal immigrants themselves. But the settlement was reached under Trump—and now Colony Ridge is set to become illegal-immigrant-free.
Colony Ridge is ordered to spend $50 million to fix the infrastructure problems that made it a terrible place to live for the illegals it sold to—but it is also agreeing to terms that make it impossible to sell to illegals going forward. Buyers must have a Texas-issued identification (so no blue-state IDs will suffice) or a legal visa issued since Trump took office in 2025.
Colony Ridge is also required to spend $20 million on a law enforcement center inside the development. As @KenPaxtonTX notes, Texas is empowered by 287(g), which delegates immigration enforcement authority to local law enforcement. So the new police presence will likely lead to more deportations in a development where hundreds have already been rounded up.
A truly incredible solution to what seemed like an insurmountable problem—all thanks to the dogged reporting from @SpencerLndqst, who was more obsessed with Colony Ridge than I’ve ever seen a reporter obsessed with anything. He stayed on it for two years, and it made a difference for Texas and America.

There is a "Qatar City" planned for Arizona or New Mexico.

This should hopefully set precedence to go after section 8 housing too. Kill the fraud at its roots for the long run and continue to expose the local and state politicians involved nationwide.

Yikes.
Maybe Spencer can get on it... but I don't know if AZ or NM will actually care.
I'm pretty sure there's already been a high'ish profile case on an Islamic compound in NM... yep, here is is
In 2018, law enforcement raided a "heavily fortified" and "squalid" compound in Amalia, New Mexico, uncovering a kidnapping and terrorism plot involving an Islamic extremist group and the death of a 3-year-old boy. The investigation led to the conviction of five adults involved in the death of Abdul-Ghani Wahhaj and the training of other children at the site.

Pretty solid

Colony Ridge should’ve had a big sign in front that read, “Cartel Laundromat”

Geez. The media in this nation is evil. No reason this kind of place shouldn't be national news.
I wonder if Trump will do anything about the "Qutar City" in AZ. Sounds like what is being built north Dallas, and south of Dallas in a place called Kaufman.

Texas is pretty good about taking care of business. Of course the government officials need to be notified. Because the muslims use their mosques assemblies for political outreach, the churches must do the same.
As a matter of fact, there are laws called federal statutes against persons whose goal is to undermine American law. Everyone knows their sharia law is what they wish to push on Americans.

Guvnah of TX is all talk. You have to really hold his feet to the fire to get him to do anything.

This isn’t going to happen.

Neither will this.

It's amazing what can be cleaned up when the law is actually followed instead of people (politicians and professional agitators, mainly) just whining and crying in front of cameras wanting "solutions" which only make the problem worse.

i think colony ridge put a big strain on the cleveland, texas school district. i would hate to have kids in that district.

Most of Texas is strained by the children of illegals in their school systems.

i know we like to shite on Daily Wire for some of Shapiro's hot takes, but they have broken and stayed on some decently big stories.

It became one of the top 2 or 3 fastest growing districts in the state for a few years.
