Several active duty military members working as armed security for an illegal alien gang underground nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado were busted during a DEA raid early Sunday morning; several other active duty military members patronizing the club were also detained according to a statement to reporters by DEA Rocky Mountain Field Division Special Agent in Charge John Pullen. All told, over a dozen active duty service members were reportedly detained at the club. Pullen said that some of the military working security were involved in criminal activity at the club.

Pullen said “significant drug trafficking, prostitution” and “crimes of violence” took place at the club and that guns and drugs were seized during the raid. Out of over 200 hundred people at the club, over 100 illegal aliens were arrested and are being held by ICE.
Pullen said the raid was the result of a months long undercover investigation and that Tren de Aragua, MS-13 and Hells Angels gang members had been observed at the club during the investigation. Pullen could not immediately confirm if any gang members were detained in the raid.
While the military members “should” have known, I would expect that they were being paid for security, not protection of the gang-members!
