Multi-Agency Raid Hits Tren De Aragua Hotspot: Officials Take More Than 100 Into Custody

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.

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.
