The Drug Enforcement Agency’s (DEA) Rocky Mountain Division led a multi-agency raid early Sunday morning, swarming a nightclub that was being used as a base for Tren de Aragua gang members, and coming out with over 100 illegal immigrants in custody.

The DEA shared video from the raid, which included assistance from the Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department, during which they also recovered weapons and drugs.

“#DEA 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,” the caption read.

Stephen Miller, Deputy Chief of Staff and adviser to President Donald Trump, added, “Early this morning, DOJ and DHS launched a joint raid of an illegal alien underground nightclub used by TDA in Colorado. More to come …”

In the hours since, additional reports have filled in some key details about who was involved in the raid — and who was apprehended.

Attorney General Pam Bondi explained, “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!”

Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin added, “Spotted in this video helping make arrests of illegal aliens at this Colorado underground nightclub. US Postal Service police IRS Criminal Investigations Along with ICE, DEA, & FBI. Trump admin taking a whole of federal gov approach to bring in every agency for deportations.”

“The party is OVER. Law and order has returned. Under the leadership of @POTUS Trump and @Sec_Noem, we are taking a whole of government approach to removing criminal illegal aliens from American communities,” the official DHS account posted.

The news of the Colorado Springs raid comes just days after a four-day multi-agency operation in Florida — referred to as Operation Tidal Wave — netted the captures of some 800 illegal aliens.
