Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>At least 114 undocumented immigrants were detained at an \u201cunderground nightclub\u201d in Colorado following a Drug Enforcement Administration, DEA raid, according to officials.<\/p>\n

The DEA\u2019s special agent in charge in Denver, Jonathan Pullen, confirmed that over 100 people were detained after several months of investigation involving the Colorado Springs club.<\/p>\n

The raid took place on Saturday night into Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

Pullen disclosed that some of the patrons were arrested based on active state warrants.<\/p>\n

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that two people were arrested on the basis of warrants.<\/p>\n

Pullen claimed that inside the nightclub there were guns, drugs, and more than a dozen active-duty service members posing as patrons or working as armed security.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you may suspect, when the cops showed up at the door, most of the drugs hit the floor, and we did find cocaine,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe haven\u2019t had time to test everything, but there were dozens of small packages.\u201d<\/p>\n

The DEA has released video footage of the moments before the raid on social media.<\/p>\n

The clip shows law enforcement officers in tactical gear surrounding the location and warning those inside, in English and Spanish, to exit the building peacefully.<\/p>\n
