An early morning raid proved the party was officially over as law enforcement scooped up nearly 50 illegal aliens connected to the infamous Tren de Aragua.
Throughout President Donald Trump’s first week back in the Oval Office, updates from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement have shown tallies in the hundreds as arrests were made across the country and detainers were lodged. A benchmark day of nearly 1,000 arrests Sunday included a raid in the hotbed of Colorado that busted up an “invite-only” event replete with cash, drugs, and weapons.
“An early AM raid of a makeshift nightclub in Adams County. #DEA, @ERODenver, @HSIDenver, @ATFHQ along [with] local partners seize drugs, cash, weapons. This was invite-only — dozens connected to the Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang were there. This bus took away nearly 50 illegal aliens,” detailed the Rocky Mountain Division of the Drug Enforcement Administration.

Their raid took place in coordination with Homeland Security Investigations, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives as well as ICE, successfully bringing in at least 41 illegal aliens in attendance at a TdA party north of Denver “at a makeshift nightclub in Adams County” around 5 a.m.
A video featured the line of arrestees as they were each individually processed by law enforcement officials “smoothly & without incident,” prompting the DEA to thank “all the brave men and women LEOs who made it happen.”

During the Biden-Harris administration as open border policies had been embraced, the violent Venezuelan prison gang reportedly had a presence in nearly 20 states, in particular Colorado.
It was there that the takeover of apartment complexes had become a presidential campaign issue as many Democratic politicians opted to deflect safety concerns from the citizens as budgets were eroded for handouts to illegal aliens to advance “sanctuary city” agendas.
The same could no longer be said with Trump’s return to the White House as promised mass deportations were underway and the president issued a national emergency at the border. Further, while activists spun up narratives about the law and order administration, Dr. Phil McGraw was offering his platform to provide transparency, accompanying border czar Tom Homan on a “high-risk mission” during a raid in Chicago.
NewsNation correspondent Ali Bradley reported that Colorado wasn’t the only place where TdA members had been arrested Sunday as the Windy City raids were said to have brought in at least five and at least one more had been arrested in Texas, “Trump promised to go after these violent Venezuelan gang members–They’re not wasting any time.”
ICYMI: At least 5 #TdA members nabbed yesterday on Chicago—I know of at least one in Texas as well.

The serious arrests were not without a little well-received whimsy from the federal agents as they shared, “Such a shame to see wasted beer…#DEA agents from the Rocky Mtn Field Division — and our LEO partners — disrupted the Tren de Aragua (TdA) party in Colorado so quickly and smoothly, some cerveza was still on ice when the dust settled. And no, we didn’t…Cheers!”
