All 25 Republican U.S. congressmen representing Texas are raising the alarm to state officials about Colony Ridge, calling on Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton to take immediate action on the housing development just outside of Houston that many believe has become a settlement for thousands of illegal aliens.

The letter, which was led by Representative Brian Babin and co-signed by the state’s entire Republican delegation, tells the officials that, based on the concerns raised by constituents about the development, it is “unthinkable that such an enormous settlement would be allowed to persist in Texas.”

“If even a fraction of the above claims are accurate, it is unthinkable that such an enormous settlement would be allowed to persist in Texas, much less expand to over double in size over the next decade,” the letter states. “We believe it is incumbent on state and local officials to respond appropriately to mitigate the effects on our citizens, their way of life, and their safety.”

The letter follows an investigation from The Daily Wire on Colony Ridge, which highlighted potential cartel presence in the area, Colony Ridge’s marketing, which appears to be targeted at foreign nationals who are in the country illegally, and the developer’s financial connections with prominent government officials. Several Republicans have since called on the state to investigate the development, and Abbott has indicated that it will be on the agenda when the state legislature convenes later this month for an emergency session.
