U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Tuesday said more than 100 people were arrested during an operation the day before in a sprawling, majority Latino housing development outside of Houston — but only released information about one of the arrests.
President Donald Trump’s immigration adviser, Tom Homan, told Fox News on Tuesday that the operation in Colony Ridge had resulted in “around 90” arrests. Federal immigration officials did not respond to the Tribune’s request for a list of the names, ages and charges against those who were arrested.
In a social media post, ICE said that 118 people had been arrested, including people with prior convictions that included homicide, theft and child sexual abuse.
Earlier Tuesday, an ICE spokesperson in Houston released information about one arrest: 39-year-old Florentin Chevez-Luna, who had been deported three times, according to ICE. He was arrested on a warrant for alleged repeated sexual abuse of a minor from November 2008 to November 2016, according to ICE.
