President Donald Trump selected some of the best people possible for his mission to round up illegal aliens and begin enforcing consequences for their actions.

Their efforts are paying off, especially recently after immigration officials were able to make a staggering 118 arrests at a Houston, Texas-area location full of illegal aliens who were slapped with varying charges. 

According to KHOU, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials conducted a raid at a Houston development called Colony Ridge, and presumably ran low on handcuffs with the amount of illegals they hauled in.

The raid was part of a "multi-agency enforcement operation" at Colony Ridge, which is "known for its cartel activity and illegal alien population."

What's going on?

The charges filed against those who were arrested were numerous and included "criminal sexual conduct, homicide, theft, negligent manslaughter, child sexual abuse, crimes of moral turpitude, weapons offenses, and drug offenses."

Gov. Greg Abbott had announced information about the operation on social media, citing some of the numbers resulting from the operation.

"Colony Ridge is being targeted today," Abbott posted on social media platform X.

He added, "Texas DPS Troopers & Special Agents are assisting Homeland Security Investigations, with an operation in Colony Ridge this morning. They are targeting criminals & illegal immigrants. I have worked with Tom Homan on this for months."

Federal and local law enforcement officials received ample support from Colony Ridge. They stated that they fully supported the operation.

KHOU noted:

Colony Ridge, in an official statement, expressed gratitude for efforts to remove "criminal illegals in Texas." The development noted that DPS officers have been working in the area for more than two years, saying "they know who the bad guys are" and that they "fully support these efforts."

Social media reaction

Users across social media reacted to the successful round-up of criminal illegal aliens.

"Bravo. About time. They need to bring lots of buses," one X user wrote.

Another X user wrote, "I’d like to know how this even happened, Greg. But good to hear you’re trying to clean it up now."
