Federal agents with the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) recently brought in roughly 50 illegal immigrants early Sunday morning during a nightclub raid that targeted the infamous Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua in Colorado. The gang has increasingly made headlines throughout the Biden administration for its prevalence across American cities.
According to reports, agents with the DEA Rocky Mountain Field Division partnered with the Denver offices for Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to zero in on what was described as a “makeshift nightclub.”
The DEA reported that the building was located in Adams County and was supposedly an “invite-only” establishment where “dozens connected to the Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang were there.” Photos shared by the agency show numerous illegal immigrants in handcuffs. One post stated, “Drugs, weapons, and cash were seized in Adams County. Nearly 50 illegal aliens were taken into custody.”
DEA Rocky Mountain posted about the raid, “#DEA and federal/local partners conducted an early morning operation at a makeshift nightclub in Adams County. Drugs/weapons/cash seized. Approx. 50 illegal aliens were taken into custody by @ERODenver – many are connected with the Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang from Venezuela.”
Conservative activist and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk shared footage of the raid on X. “The DEA along with other federal and local law enforcement conducted an early morning raid on a makeshift warehouse nightclub in Colorado targeting Tren de Aragua gang members. 50 illegals were arrested. Guns, drugs and cash were also seized,” Kirk wrote.
The Colorado raid comes as Trump administration border czar Tom Homan has pledged to carry out mass deportations of illegal aliens, particularly those who pose a safety threat to American communities. The American Tribune recently reported on the “huge national security issue” that has arisen at the southern border according to Homan.
Homan said, “President Trump has been clear, as I’ve been clear from day one, the president is going to concentrate on public safety threats and national security threats. And have you heard from your previous segments, we have a huge national security issue in this country.” He added, “The Southwest border has become the biggest national security vulnerability we’ve seen in this nation. FBI Director Wray agrees with me. We know there’s people in this country who oppose the national security threat.”

Speaking about the terror threat, the border czar noted, “They’ve arrested a record number of people on terrorist watch lists, a 3500% increase in people on the terrorist watch list being arrested at the border. We got over 2 million known gotaways. We know 2 million people crossed the border, weren’t arrested, weren’t vetted, weren’t fingerprinted.”
