Nearly 100 illegal aliens were captured on Monday in the joint deportation operation from the Department of Homeland Security and the Texas Department of Public Safety inside Colony Ridge, the massive Texas development that The Daily Wire exposed as a magnet for illegal aliens.

Border czar Tom Homan described Monday’s actions as “phase one” of a “larger criminal investigation.” He also highlighted the number of criminal illegal aliens inside Colony Ridge.

“This is something a little different today,” Homan said to Fox News. “You know, this is a larger criminal investigation into a network. And a lot of the people we were interested in were located in that area.”

“The last number I saw was around 69 criminals,” Homan added, discussing those who have criminal records beyond entering the United States illegally. “I know for a fact, several child sexual predators were arrested.”

One of those alleged child sexual predators was Florentin Chevez-Luna, a 39-year-old, three-time previously deported criminal alien from El Salvador.

An ICE spokesman told The Daily Wire that Chevez-Luna “was arrested by ICE and Texas DPS pursuant to a criminal arrest warrant for alleged repeated sexual abuse of a minor over an eight-year period from November 2008 to November 2016.”
