More than 100 undocumented immigrants were arrested in a raid carried out by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) at a nightclub in Colorado Springs, United States. According to the DEA, more than 200 people were in the establishment, of which 114 were undocumented residents in the United States.
Special agent Jonathan Pullen of the DEA's Rocky Mountain division informed the press that the club was under surveillance due to illicit activities such as drug trafficking, prostitution, and violent crimes. Additionally, more than ten active-duty members of the Armed Forces were arrested in the operation.
During the raid, authorities confiscated weapons and various types of drugs, including cocaine, methamphetamines, and a narcotic known as pink cocaine or tusi. The DEA stated it had dismantled ties with MS-13 and emphasized that this action helps make the United States a safer place.
In statements, President Donald Trump expressed his concern about the situation, mentioning that the country was in danger if the battle was not won in the Supreme Court. The operation took place just before 4 AM at an underground nightclub in Colorado Springs, according to details from the DEA's Rocky Mountain regional section.
The detention of undocumented immigrants, as well as the seizure of drugs and weapons, are part of the measures implemented by authorities to ensure safety in the country.
