ICE Floods Houston Hotspots In Nighttime Pilot; 25 Arrested As ‘Elite’ Data System Drives 24/7 Crackdown

Breitbart Texas rode along as ICE ERO, CBP, and Border Patrol teams conducted a four-hour, rain-soaked nighttime sweep in Houston using a new data-driven “Elite” targeting system, arresting about 25 people, many with alleged criminal histories. Officials described the pilot as a shift to 24/7 saturation patrols leveraging license-plate and database checks for probable-cause stops. The piece ties the pilot to recent larger Houston-area operations, including mass arrests in Colony Ridge.
