Overview
- The developers filed suit Friday, May 22, 2026, accusing Alex Jones and Pete Chambers of defaming the Liberty County community by calling it cartel-controlled, a “mortgage scam,” and a sanctuary for undocumented immigrants.
- Colony Ridge is seeking over $10 million in damages and says a Feb. 6 video and a now-deleted post on X were viewed more than 650,000 times before removal, which it cites as evidence of reputational harm.
- Pete Chambers is named as a co-defendant because he spoke with Jones in the video and repeated claims that the development was “occupied” by undocumented residents and labeled the project a fraud.
- The suit arrives while Colony Ridge faces separate legal exposure from a reported $68 million settlement with the Justice Department over alleged predatory lending and an active 2024 Texas suit alleging deceptive real-estate practices.
- Alex Jones’ existing legal and financial constraints from prior Sandy Hook defamation judgments and ongoing bankruptcy proceedings could affect how any damages are collected or enforced.
