Active military members among those detained at underground Colorado nightclub

A multi-agency enforcement operation raided an unauthorized nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Over 200 people were at the “club” including 114 illegal aliens and some active-duty military members. Drugs, weapons, and prostitutes were also at the club during the bust. Mike Moon, the property owner containing the space being used as a club, said he had no idea what was happening in that space.

Officials said among those that were detained were active-duty military members. DEA Special Agent in Charge Jonathan Pullen said that alleged members of gangs, including Tren de Aragua and MS-13, were present at the venue.

At approximately 3:45 a.m. on Sunday, officials conducted a “multi-agency enforcement operation” at what they called an underground nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The DEA’s Rocky Mountain Division posted a video on X showing the operation underway on Sunday morning.

Of the hundreds of people inside the nightclub, at least 114 were migrants that DEA officials said were in the country illegally. They are now in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody.

Close to 300 people were inside the nightclub and 114 illegal migrants were taken into custody, with most from Central and South America, officials said.

“Drugs and weapons have also been seized at this underground nightclub,” the DEA’s Rocky Mountain Division said on X.

The operation was led by the DEA and involved around 10 federal agencies along with the local sheriff’s department, officials said. The investigation took several months and included undercover operations, officials said.
