Overview

• The DEA and over 300 agents from multiple federal and local agencies raided an underground nightclub in Colorado Springs on April 27, detaining 114 individuals suspected of being undocumented immigrants.
• The operation followed months of surveillance into alleged drug trafficking, prostitution, and violent criminal activity tied to the venue.
• Authorities seized cocaine, pink cocaine, firearms, and evidence of prostitution during the raid, which involved a coordinated multi-agency effort.
• More than a dozen active-duty military personnel found at the nightclub, some working as security, were referred to the Army Criminal Investigation Division for further inquiry.
• Two individuals were arrested on outstanding warrants, while the majority of detainees are being processed by ICE for likely deportation or federal immigration charges.
