The operation involved approximately 300 law enforcement members and targeted a venue suspected of drug trafficking, prostitution, and associated violent crimes, including the presence of firearms. DEA Special Agent in Charge Jonathan Pullen highlighted that the raid, which had been under examination for months, aimed to ensure community safety against these illicit activities.<\/p>\n<p>Among the patrons were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exclusive-sen-ron-johnson-torches-defense-secretary-austin-for-discharging-service-members-for-disobeying-bidens-vaccine-mandate\/\" title=\"Exclusive -- Sen. Ron Johnson Torches Defense Secretary Austin for Discharging ... for Disobeying Biden&#039;s Vaccine Mandate\">active-duty military personnel<\/a> who were allegedly providing security for the club. Following the raid,those detained were processed by immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). During the operation, evidence of drug use was found, with individuals attempting to dispose of drugs as the authorities entered.Pullen emphasized the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to combat crime and outlined their commitment to maintaining a safe environment for the community.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Federal agents swooped down upon an illegal underground nightclub in Colorado Springs early Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>A total of 114 illegal immigrants were detained in the raid, which targeted a club officials said was frequented by members of the MS-13 gang, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2025\/04\/27\/us-news\/dea-raid-on-colorado-springs-nightclub-frequented-by-ms-13-sees-114-detained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Drug Enforcement Administration&rsquo;s Rocky Mountain Field Division led the raid, assisted by the Colorado Springs Police Department and the El Paso County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office.
