A multi-agency operation led by the DEA's Rocky Mountain branch resulted in the arrest of over 100 illegal immigrants at an underground nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The raid also uncovered drugs, weapons, and allegedly involved members of MS-13 and Tren de Aragua gangs.
Approximately 200 people were present during the raid, with over 100 being taken into ICE custody. Seized items included drugs (including "tusi," a ketamine-laced substance associated with MS-13), weapons, and alcohol. More than a dozen active-duty service members were also detained.
DEA officials highlighted significant drug trafficking, prostitution, and violent crimes within the club. President Trump praised the raid, connecting it to his broader immigration policies and legal battles regarding deportations. Attorney General Pam Bondi also celebrated the operation as a success in making America safer.
The article mentions President Trump's ongoing legal challenges concerning mass deportations of illegal immigrants, specifically referencing his use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 in relation to MS-13 and TdA, both designated as terrorist organizations.
The Colorado Springs raid shut down the illegal party with more than 200 attendees—and found drugs and weapons.
More than 100 illegal immigrants were arrested during a raid on an underground night club in Colorado Springs, Colorado, that is allegedly frequented by members of the gangs MS-13 and Tren de Aragua (TdA).
In a social media post pinned to its account, the Rocky Mountain branch of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) wrote: “Rocky Mountain led a multi-agency enforcement operation along with our local and federal partners early this morning. @DHSgov has taken more than 100 illegal aliens into custody. Drugs and weapons have also been seized at this underground nightclub in Colorado Springs.”
Photos posted to the account show containers of beer and unidentified drugs. The DEA also said that it found “tusi,” a substance laced with ketamine and other drugs that is said to be a “calling card” for MS-13.
“We seized a number of guns in there,“ Pullen said. ”We had active-duty service members who were running security at the club and involved in some of these crimes.”
He said that more than a dozen such service members were detained, including both staff and patrons.
“Colorado Springs is waking up to a safer community today,” Pullen said.
“A big Raid last night on some of the worst people illegally in our Country—Drug Dealers, Murderers, and other Violent Criminals, of all shapes and sizes, and Judges don’t want to send them back to where they came from,” he wrote. “If we don’t win this battle at the Supreme Court, our Country, as we know it, is FINISHED!”
Trump referenced ongoing injunctions and other orders from the judicial branch that have slowed his implementation of mass deportations of illegal immigrants.
Two major cases currently pending at the Supreme Court, both of which name Trump as the respondent and do not name the plaintiffs directly, concern Trump’s attempts to use the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport foreigners judged to have ties to MS-13 or TdA. Both gangs have been named terrorist organizations by the administration.
Attorney General Pam Bondi weighed in on the raid as well, saying in a post on X: “This morning @DEAHQ apprehended over 100 illegal aliens at an underground night club frequented by Tda and MS-13 terrorists. Cocaine, meth, and pink cocaine was seized. 2 people were also arrested on existing warrants.
“As we approach his 100 days in office, @POTUS Trump’s directive to make America safe again is achieving results!”
