More than a hundred undocumented individuals were arrested in a clandestine nightclub in Colorado Springs during a joint operation carried out in the early hours of this Sunday by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and other local and federal agencies.
The official DEA account announced on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) that the Rocky Mountain group led the operation, which resulted in the capture of over 100 illegal immigrants.
According to reports, the special agents announced their presence before entering the establishment, where around 200 people were present. Of these, at least 114 were in the United States without legal authorization.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) assumed custody of the detainees. In addition, authorities seized drugs such as cocaine, methamphetamine, and "pink cocaine", along with firearms found inside the establishment.
The United States Attorney General, Pam Bondi, also spoke about the operation, indicating that the nightclub was frequented by alleged members of criminal groups such as TDA and the MS-13 gang. Furthermore, she noted that two individuals were arrested at the scene due to outstanding warrants.
"This morning, @DEAHQ arrested over 100 illegal immigrants in a clandestine nightclub frequented by TDA and MS-13 terrorists. Cocaine, methamphetamine, and pink cocaine were seized. Two individuals with outstanding warrants were also arrested," Bondi announced on his official account.
Bondi emphasized that the operation is part of the security policy promoted by President Donald Trump, and he described it as a tangible achievement as he approached the completion of his first 100 days in office.
"The directive from @POTUS Trump to make America safe again is achieving results," he added.
