The police raided a nightclub in Colorado during early morning to arrest 114 individuals without immigration status.
The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) declared at three in the morning on Sunday that its Rocky Mountain Division and supporting federal and local officers had initiated a multi-agency enforcement operation.
Partygoers exited the building to see many guards standing with guns while confused and high-heeled women stood by the doors.
Law enforcement agents broke up the illegal establishment by forcing entry through the door while one female phone user lost her footing due to their aimed assault rifle positions.
A man who rushed out of the nightclub dropped himself to the ground and wildly displayed his hands in view of approaching police officers. The surveillance video showed the person dropping his beer bottle to the ground before he listened to the policemen.
Some people at the scene tried to escape through their tears as police officers issued commands for everyone to drop to the ground while their sirens continued to ring.
The DEA declared that its operation traced from investigations focusing on violent crimes alongside prostitution activities as well as drug trafficking within the club.
The authorities made their way to an underground nightclub in Colorado Springs that exists approximately one hour away from the Venezuelan criminal headquarters located in Aurora.
Members from the Hell’s Angels along with MS-13 and members of Tren de Aragua regularly visit the underground club. Special Agent in Charge Jonathan Pullen at DEA lacks information about the number of members who were present during the raid.
Active duty military service members exceeded twelve in number at the location where some acted as security workers and others mingled as customers. The criminal investigations with the US Army Criminal probe Division now include members of the population being analyzed by Pullen.
ICE officials detained most of the arrested individuals because they lacked authorization to reside in the United States. The police agency obtained firearms along with illicit drugs throughout the raid.
During this investigation ‘Tusi’ or pink cocaine proved to be the newest substance discovered according to Pullin’s statements. Investigatores are analyzing twelve small drug packages to identify the chemical substances.
Pullen announced that Colorado Springs began its Sunday morning with an enhanced state of public security.
Video footage showed how officers conducted a dramatic raid beginning with barricading the scene before a single officer shattered a glass window.
Police personnel made people in the area lift their hands while pointing their guns at them during the operation.
Pullen confirmed during his statement that most of the people that officers detained would receive federal immigration charges instead of additional outstanding warrants.
The officers stated that drug offense prosecution would be unlikely because establishing possession proved challenging during the operation.
