DEA Raid in Colorado Targets Venezuelan Gang, Arrests Nearly 50

Federal agents seized drugs, weapons, and cash while detaining undocumented individuals tied to the Tren de Aragua gang at an invite-only nightclub near Denver.

The DEA, ICE, and other federal agencies conducted a pre-dawn raid on a makeshift nightclub in Adams County, Colorado, arresting approximately 50 individuals, most of whom were undocumented immigrants.
The operation targeted the Tren de Aragua (TdA), a violent Venezuelan prison gang involved in drug trafficking and other criminal activities across the U.S.
Authorities seized drugs, including pink cocaine (Tusi), along with weapons, cash, and other contraband from the nightclub.
The raid is part of a larger effort under the Trump administration's renewed immigration enforcement strategy, prioritizing the detention and deportation of undocumented individuals with criminal ties.
The bust follows a months-long investigation into TdA’s activities in Colorado, where the gang has been linked to significant drug distribution networks and violence.
