(StraightShooterNews.com) – In a major blow to illegal immigration and drug trafficking, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) busted approximately 50 illegal aliens during a raid on a Tren de Aragua (TdA) party in Adams County, Colorado.
In collaboration with metro Denver law enforcement agencies and the ATF, the DEA’s Rocky Mountain Field Division executed a federal search warrant along the 6600 block of Federal Boulevard.
The target was a vacant property that had been used for several months as a gathering place for the Venezuelan criminal organization Tren de Aragua (TdA).
Special Agent in Charge Jonathan Pullen revealed the sophisticated nature of these gatherings, stating, “TdA affiliated gang members and associates sent out invitations over social media to come to a party at this location tonight.”
The operation, which began at 9 p.m. on Saturday with agents entering the property around 3 a.m., resulted in a significant haul of illegal substances and weapons.
Authorities seized drugs, including crack, cocaine, and the dangerously potent “pink cocaine,” along with money and firearms.
“What we’re here today for was an ongoing DEA investigation. As you know, we’ve been targeting the TdA. DEA has been working on TdA for a number of months here in Denver, and so this was a part of that long-term operation,” Special Agent Pullen said.
The majority of those arrested are now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), highlighting the crucial intersection of immigration enforcement and crime prevention.
This operation serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of lax border policies and the importance of supporting law enforcement agencies in their efforts to protect American communities.
As part of a broader DEA investigation targeting the Venezuelan gang, this raid represents a significant step in dismantling the Tren de Aragua network in Denver.
The operation’s success demonstrates the effectiveness of coordinated efforts between federal and local law enforcement agencies in combating organized crime and drug trafficking.
Moreover, the infiltration of foreign criminal organizations like TdA into American cities underscores the urgent need for stricter border control and immigration policies.
As this developing story unfolds, it serves as a wake-up call to the dangers posed by open borders and the importance of putting American safety first.
