Colony Ridge, the shadowy land development company that created what critics called a "safe harbor for illegals" in rural Texas, has been crushed with a $68 million settlement under President Trump's reinvigorated Department of Justice.

The massive payout, announced Tuesday, represents a stunning victory for Americans who watched in horror as this developer systematically transformed Texas communities into magnets for illegal immigration through predatory lending schemes targeting foreign nationals.

Under the settlement, Colony Ridge must fork over $48 million for local infrastructure improvements—money that should have been invested from day one instead of lining the pockets of developers who exploited both illegal immigrants and existing American communities.

But here's what really matters, Patriots: This case shows the Trump administration isn't playing games when it comes to companies that profit off illegal immigration. While the Biden regime turned a blind eye to these schemes for four years, Trump's DOJ is making it clear that there will be consequences for creating parallel societies that undermine American communities.

No More Sanctuary Subdivisions

Colony Ridge's business model was as cynical as it was destructive. They specifically marketed to individuals who couldn't access traditional financing—many of whom were in the country illegally—then trapped them in predatory loan arrangements while providing substandard living conditions without proper infrastructure.

The result? Sprawling developments that drained local resources, overwhelmed schools and emergency services, and created enclaves where English wasn't even spoken. American taxpayers were left holding the bag while Colony Ridge counted their profits.

"This settlement sends a clear message that we will not tolerate businesses that exploit vulnerable populations while undermining our immigration laws," a DOJ spokesperson indicated.

The $20 million remainder will go directly toward consumer relief for victims of these predatory practices. But the real victory isn't just financial—it's the precedent this sets for other developers who might think they can profit off America's broken immigration system.

This is what happens when we have a Justice Department that actually serves the American people instead of covering for the globalist agenda. How many more Colony Ridges are out there, and will Trump's DOJ hunt them down too?

Finally! $68 million should send a clear message to anyone else thinking about creating these sanctuary communities. As a taxpayer in Texas, I'm tired of footing the bill for illegal immigration while developers profit off it.

Exactly right! My property taxes keep going up to pay for services while these developers were making bank off this mess.

Good start, but what about criminal prosecution? Creating safe harbors for illegals should carry jail time, not just fines that these rich developers can write off as a business expense.
