According to CNN, a raid for the illegal night club in Colorado Springs, Colorado took place on a weekend night of April 26-27. About 200 people stayed in the club. The services also confiscated drugs and weapons.
What's more, there were several active soldiers of the American army in the club. The US Army confirmed that soldiers from Fort Carson, Colorado, whose presence was considered “disturbing” were in the club. According to CNN, a separate investigation is underway in this matter.
300 agents of various federal agencies took part in the action, including the drug control agency (DEA), the Customs and Imaging Office (ICE), FBI, alcohol, tobacco and firearms and explosives (ATF), and the Criminal Investigation of the US Army.

As it turned out, out of 200 people staying that night in the club, 114 stayed in the US illegally. They were all arrested by officers of the Customs and Imaging Office (ICE) and they are probably deported. Another two people were arrested on the basis of previously existing orders.

The case was commented on by the mayor of Colorado Springs, Yemi Mobolade. “The criminal activity of any kind will not be tolerated in Colorado Springs. Our residents deserve to live in a city where laws are in force, and illegal behaviors meet with firm actions,” he wrote on social media.
The operation was one of the largest from the return of Donald Trump to the White House. The president referred to the action in Colorado Springs on the Truth Social platform. “Last night a great raid was carried out for the worst people illegally staying in our country – drug dealers, murderers and other brutal criminals,” he wrote.
