“Abbott directly intervened in 2018, on separate occasions, so that the area where the controversial Colony Ridge slum is expanding today received federal classification as an “Opportunity Zone,”
Abbott haters floated that rumor but could not back it up. Abbott is sure going after Colony Ridge now .
It makes more sense to be concerned with now and going forward instead of focusing on years old rumors.
What good will that do you?
You can keep covering for Abbott if you want to, but those of us familiar with Colony Ridge know what happened. Abbot looked the other way regarding Colony Ridge and its marketing arm, Terrenos Houston, because they were funneling money into his campaign arm. Finally, the fed had to step in and do something. The U.S. Justice Department alleged the Colony Ridge’s developer duped thousands of Latino buyers with a scheme that violates federal consumer protections and fair housing practices, and then they found out that it was a huge dumping ground for illegals and cartel operations. They were even taking over portions of the adjacent national forest and moving mobile homes into it to house illegals. Of course, Abbott and his ilk were aware of this all along and did nothing about it.
I agree with you. Colony Ridge is dangerous
I wish the Federal government would act on what they have said they have
But those are 2 separate issues
By and large Muslims are not illegal
They planned this out over decades and know how to stay within the law even by inches
Plus now we have to woke screaming racism
