The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) detained about 50 illegal aliens early Sunday in Denver, Colorado after raiding a makeshift nightclub run by members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
DEA Special Agent in Charge Jonathan Pullen said an early-morning raid between his agency, the DHS and ATF was conducted at an invitation-only Tren de Aragua (TdA) party in Adams County.
“TdA affiliated gang members and associates sent out invitations over social media to come to a party at this location tonight,” he told ABC affiliate Denver 7.

Drugs, money, and weapons were found during the raid, including crack, cocaine, and a drug known as “pink cocaine,” Pullen said.
“What we’re here today for was an ongoing DEA investigation. As you know, we’ve been targeting the TdA. DEA has been working on TdA for a number of months here in Denver, and so this was a part of that long-term operation,” Pullen said.
Footage from the Rocky Mountain division of the DEA shows the detained illegals being loaded up on a bus for processing by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

This was invite-only – dozens connected to the Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang were there.

Under Joe Biden, Tren de Aragua had been terrorizing residents in the Adams County area, most notably in the town of Aurora, where gang members had taken over entire apartment complexes and used them as headquarters to carry out burglaries, assaults and other crimes.
But the mainstream media had consistently dismissed those reports as racist conspiracy theories.
True to form, MSNBC anchor Alex Witt even corrected his colleague Priya Sridhar during her reporting of the Colorado raid for referring to the arrested TdA gang members as “illegal aliens.”
“We call them undocumented immigrants,” Witt snapped.

With less than a week in office, the Trump administration has demonstrated how ineffectual and derelict the Biden administration has been in addressing dangerous illegal alien criminals.
