Over 110 Illegal Immigrants Arrested During Colony Ridge Operation

Texas will continue to partner with the Trump Administration in homeland and border security operations.

Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN, Texas – Governor Greg Abbott, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), and the Texas National Guard continue to work together with the Trump Administration to secure the border; stop the smuggling of drugs, weapons, and people into Texas; and prevent, detect, and interdict transnational criminal activity between ports of entry.    
 
Since the launch of Operation Lone Star, the multi-agency effort has led to over 531,500 illegal immigrant apprehensions and more than 51,000 criminal arrests, with more than 43,700 felony charges. In the fight against the fentanyl crisis, Texas law enforcement has seized over 625 million lethal doses of fentanyl—enough to kill every man, woman, and child in the United States, Mexico, and Canada combined during this border mission.    

Operation Lone Star continues working to undo the damage done by the Biden Administration. Every individual who is apprehended or arrested and every ounce of drugs seized would have otherwise made their way into communities across Texas and the nation due to open border policies.
