Federal agents took nearly 50 illegal immigrants into custody early Sunday during an operation targeting the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA)’s networks in Colorado. 

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Rocky Mountain Field Division said its agents, as well as partners at the Denver offices for Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) conducted an early morning operation targeting drug trafficking and TdA members in Adams County, Colorado. 

The early morning raid targeted what federal authorities deemed a “makeshift nightclub” in Adams County that was “invite-only.” The DEA said “dozens connected to the Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang were there.”
