Feds Arrest Over 100 Illegal Migrants After Raiding Gang-Infested Nightclub

More than 100 illegal migrants were arrested during a Sunday morning raid of a Colorado nightclub infested with gang activity, according to federal officials.

In one of the latest moves to combat illegal migrant criminal activity, an underground nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado, was raided in a joint operation by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Trump administration announced. In addition to the arrest of over 100 illegal migrants, drugs and weapons were also seized.

During a press briefing Monday morning, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the club had been frequented by Tren de Aragua gang bangers.

“In the early Sunday morning hours, and DHS together launched a joint raid of an illegal alien underground nightclub used by Tren de Aragua in Colorado Springs, Colorado,” Leavitt said. “DHS took more than 100 illegal aliens into custody, and many drugs and weapons were also seized.”

Video released by the DEA shows law enforcement personnel in military-grade gear surrounding the nightclub at around 3:45 a.m. local time, ordering patrons inside to leave with their hands up. Cocaine, meth and pink cocaine were among the drugs seized, according to a statement from Attorney General Pam Bondi.

President Donald Trump, releasing footage of the Colorado Springs raid on social media, said those arrested were drug dealers, murderers and violent criminals, and he took a swipe at the judges who “don’t want to send them back.”
