US federal agents early Sunday raided what authorities described as an underground nightclub in Colorado Springs and took into custody more than 100 migrants accused of being in the country illegally, the US Drug Enforcement Administration said.
“What was happening inside was significant drug trafficking, prostitution, crimes of violence,” Jonathan C. Pullen, special agent in charge at the DEA’s Rocky Mountain division, said at a news conference Sunday. “We seized a number of guns in there.”
Also, some active-duty military members were at the club – some of whom were working there – and were turned over to the Army, Pullen said. “We had active-duty service members who were running security at the club and involved in some of these crimes,” he said.
