Colony Ridge owners sue Alex Jones over 'sanctuary city' claims

other · 2026-05-21

The owners of Colony Ridge, a Texas housing development, have filed a defamation lawsuit against conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. The suit stems from a Feb. 6 broadcast on Jones's Infowars show, in which he allegedly made false claims about the development being a 'sanctuary city' for undocumented immigrants. This legal action comes after Colony Ridge's owners resolved a federal lending case. The plaintiffs argue that Jones's statements reached a wide audience and have caused reputational and financial harm. The case highlights ongoing tensions around immigration rhetoric in media.
