Federal law enforcement officials said they detained more than 100 people who were in the country illegally in a raid at an “underground” Colorado Springs nightclub early Sunday morning.

The Drug Enforcement Administration said it also seized cocaine and guns during the raid at the northwest corner of Academy Boulevard and Airport Road.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, in a post on X, said the club is frequented by members of the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua and international gang MS-13.

“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,” Bondi’s post read.

The Rocky Mountain division of the DEA reported the multi-agency enforcement operation on X around 4 a.m.

“@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 agency posted around 6 a.m., sharing a video of the raid.

The video shows dozens of men and women stream out of the front door of the building after law enforcement officers break a window.

During a news conference, DEA Special Agent in Charge Jonathan Pullen said Colorado Springs “was waking up to a safer community” Sunday after agents found pink cocaine, evidence of prostitution and drug trafficking, and firearms during the raid.

The DEA estimates there were around 200 people inside the nightclub at the time of the raid; at least half were undocumented immigrants, and more than a dozen were U.S. active-duty service members who were either patrons of the club or working as armed security, Pullen said.

In an interview with Gazette news partner KOAA-TV, Pullen said the club has been under investigation “for a while,” with surveillance and undercover work happening ahead of Sunday’s raid.

Pullen told news media that the Army Criminal Investigation Division was working alongside other agencies in the investigation.

According to Pullen, 300 law enforcement agents from multiple agencies participated in the raid, including Colorado Springs police, and the El Paso and Douglas County sheriff’s offices.

“The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office assisted with the operation in a support role. This was a criminal investigation for drugs and guns,” Douglas County Sheriff Darren Weekly told The Gazette.

“Colorado without question has been a hub for illegal immigration due to the sanctuary policies of the city of Denver in conjunction with radical legislation (including this session) from the State Capitol affirming Colorado’s sanctuary status. As the Sheriff of Douglas County I will do everything I can within Colorado law to support our federal partners. This, in turn, helps keep my community safe.”

A spokesperson for the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office said the department assisted the operation in an unspecified role. Colorado Springs Police Chief Adrian Vasquez said the raid was the culmination of a months-long criminal investigation, and that CSPD’s participation was “solely to address criminal violations affecting the safety of our community.”

In a joint news release, the El Paso County Board of Commissioners commended law enforcement for dealing with “a direct threat to the safety and well-being of our community.”

“Today’s operation sends a clear message: illegal activity will not be tolerated in El Paso County,” the release stated.

Colorado Springs Mayor Yemi Mobolade also released a statement Sunday, saying he was briefed ahead of the overnight operation.

“Let me be clear: criminal activity of any kind, from anyone, will not be tolerated in Colorado Springs. This investigation and the execution of these warrants are the result of clear evidence of serious criminal conduct. Our residents deserve to live in a city where the rule of law is upheld and where illegal behavior is met with firm and decisive action. We will continue working together to ensure the safety and well-being of our entire community.”

Law enforcement officials have said that TdA gang members have been involved in a myriad of criminal activities in Colorado, including drug trafficking, kidnapping, money laundering, extortion and human trafficking — particularly of immigrant women and girls.
