One person was arrested as part of a Colony Ridge operation targeting "criminals and illegal immigrants," federal authorities announced less than 24 hours after Gov. Greg Abbott said state troopers and federal agents were descending on the neighborhood northeast of Houston.

Luis Miguel Perez-Miranda, a 34-year-old Salvadoran national, was apprehended after a manhunt in Dayton, Texas, and was subsequently taken to the Liberty County Jail. This arrest occurred just hours after he allegedly murdered a man in the Colony Ridge subdivision in Plum Grove, Texas.

Conservative state officials have previously accused the residential community north of Houston of being a safe haven for people in the country without legal status. It was not immediately clear Tuesday whether the reported number of arrests were made this week or as part of ongoing enforcement initiatives.

ICE's social media post said those arrested were charged with an array of crimes, including criminal sexual conduct, homicide, theft and drug offenses.
