More than 300 federal and local law enforcement officers participated in a major raid early Sunday morning on an underground nightclub in Colorado Springs, resulting in the detention of over 100 illegal immigrants and the seizure of drugs and weapons, according to authorities.

Dramatic footage released by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) captured the moment agents broke through the large front window of an unmarked building as patrons, many dressed for a nightclub scene, attempted to flee.

Additional armed federal agents blocked escape routes as officers executed a search warrant.

“This is the police with a search warrant demanding entry. Exit the front door one at a time with nothing in your hands, held high above your head,” agents can be heard announcing in the video, issuing instructions first in English and then in Spanish.

According to officials, the nightclub was reportedly frequented by members of the MS-13 criminal organization.

In total, 114 individuals identified as being in the United States illegally were detained during the operation.

DEA Rocky Mountain Division Special Agent in Charge Jonathan C. Pullen said during a Sunday news conference that the operation uncovered significant criminal activity inside the establishment.

“What was happening inside was significant drug trafficking, prostitution, crimes of violence. We seized a number of guns in there,” Pullen stated.

“We had active-duty service members who were running security at the club and involved in some of these crimes.”

Authorities also recovered narcotics, including cocaine and pink cocaine, commonly referred to as “tusi.”

Over a dozen active-duty military personnel had gone undercover in the weeks leading up to the raid, posing as security guards and nightclub patrons to assist in gathering intelligence, according to a DEA spokesperson.

Two individuals were arrested on outstanding warrants as a result of the operation, Attorney General Pamela Bondi confirmed.

Bondi praised the operation’s success, writing on X, “Trump’s directive to make America safe again is achieving results!”
