Exactly. In the middle of a nightclub with hundreds of people, you're telling me agents were able to confirm the identities of all of them before the arrests. This is such bullshit!!
Maybe a reporting agency could report on the event and highlight specifically that there is zero evidence to back up the claims instead of just repeating talking points, even contextualize these claims against all the other now-disproven claims made recently. You know, a real group of reporters.
chances are unless one or more judges intervene, most of them will end up in el salvador within a couple days and the mainstream media and right wing youtubers and podcasters will begin accusing them of things they were never convicted of or even charged with
Wow you can’t even have a good time anymore. Hope they all get due process. It seems every immigrant is an ms-13 terrorist. Even the little children. Melania broke visa rules when she came here. Send her back to Slovenia along with her parents since trump change the law allowing them to come
Amazing! Thank you, Canada. You are a light in the darkness. Many of us still appreciate you and are happy to be your neighbor. I’m sorry that we are currently the shitty neighbor that lets their dog poop on your lawn without cleaning it up or putting our trash cans away.
Speculative fiction idea: character is trying to train an AI to be a suicide prevention hotline, but also trying to get out of debt by convincing people to buy life insurance policies on those who might be suicidal.
This past week, the administration shut down a suicide hotline for LGBTQ youth. Since they are trying to outlaw the transitioning of youth, it is a grave concern.
Fake news. The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, established as a federal initiative and signed into law by Trump in 2020, remains operational 24/7, providing free and confidential support.
kinda wrong for you to call it fake news before you checked it out for facts! You're the one that's spreading fake news by calling this fake again I called it up and it's for trans lifeline
I looked it up and your post is false. 988 is still in operation and there is no evidence it will be shut down. You're spreading misinformation to vulnerable people.
having a number that you can call in case it does shut down is an alternative that the transgender and gay society has to call because maybe the suicide hotline in America wouldn't know what organizations they have to reach out to That's why there's a separate number
well thank you for helping me clarify when you call I just heard trans lifeline I didn't know they also help I assume they would but you help me clarify so thank you
I knw its not down Yet but it may happen I called that number and it is a suicide hotline got the LGBT incase the one here in the US shuts down. now prove me wrong. I can prove it by ppl calling it to see for themselves
tRump, vAnts & jOhnson are criminals. They disappear, kidnap & traffic immigrants & US citizens (children with stage 4 cancer) to foreign countries, blatantly ignoring direct rulings of federal courts. Every agency provided to help Americans is rendered ineffective. WE THE PEOPLE MUST STOP THIS 5/1
Literally don’t care. They can highlight a deported immigrant everyday, I will sit and eat popcorn for the idiots who belong to these demographic groups and now want the rest of us to care. FAFO. You voted for this.
I need to see actual evidence and a trial proving they were undocumented. This government has already sent countless innocent people to El Salvadoran labor camps without proof of wrongdoing, these 114 could be US born citizens for all we know.
Seems sus' to me, given many undocumented people are staying the f*ck home out of fear of exactly this. I'd wager a good proportion of the arrested are legal, and ICE or whoever don't care.
Anybody can say anything. It's not news just because someone says something.
Like leaving aside the entire framing of this as a good thing for a second, "Spokesperson says thing without being asked" is not news.
These people might be anything but immigrants. Why would they be kidnapped? The government already has dissapeared some US citizen children, how can we trust them that these people are any kind of immigrants?
Club patrons included members of Tren de Aragua, MS-13 and Hell's Angels. Active duty military personnel, some of whom voted Republican, were also present, and according to Putin, they participated in some of the aforementioned crimes.
Next up, arrests of business owners and hedge fund investors who profit off of undocumented immigrant labor. Then, arrests of consumers who benefit from paying less than they should for goods and services received from businesses who use undocumented immigrants. Not
So the real story "Brown people had a party, arrested without due process, will be disappeared".. ICE working hard to fulfil the daily quota. Can´t waite for all those ICE agents, trying to explain to the court, why they broke the law.. over and over.
Yep. It's the old "crying wolf" problem that they've created for themselves. They lie incessantly, so it's impossible to take them at face value. It's pretty damn dangerous.
The bus took a left in front of me this morning while being led by a Sheriff. I then passed them both. They were headed towards the interstate. I’m guessing towards Denver. The windows of the bus had bars. It was chilling.
it looks like, in an effort to further flash mob their goons squads to meet tommie homan's numbers/targets, the dea is also "helping out". they were also involved in the incident where the judge was arrested.
In my experience MS13 and TDA don’t party together, why do these feel like buzz words? Do better NPR, report what’s happening not what you’re told is happening.
I’m a bit shocked to find people defending illegals in the country, running an illegal, underground nightclub that allowed and promote the sake of drugs and weapons, regardless of how they were caught.
I'm also going to say it's interested in the servicemen that we're in the building. Either working there or as patrons is because their names didn't pop up anywhere in the news That I can find
I'm shocked to find people taking accusations of illegal activity as proof. The very basis of a democratic legal system is presumption of innocence and due process. The rich get "alleged" and the targets of the USA Gestapo get "illegal" in the headlines.
How precisely? That justice should be equally applied to all people? Or presumption of innocence until proven guilty. Still, MAGAbots are not great at reasoning so I can't expect too much of a coherent reply. I guess if you're programmed by fascists then justice is indeed absurd.
Right. They said they found drugs and guns as if this was planned as a raid on drugs and guns but did not provide specifics. Usually they’re really happy to tell us how they did. Instead it was just about the number of people. This is pretty shady.
Bondi just came out and said the Club in Colorado Springs was frequented by a Venezuelan Gang. Living here I can tell you right now that is 100% total bullshit. Fucking liar. We can open carry in Colorado Springs. We don't need DHS or ICE here. Get out of our fucking state. I hate this.
We can open carry but polis and the dems will do away with that as soon as they can. They are doing all they can to make sure we are unarmed and unprotected.
I watched the videos of the raid. It looked like a bunch of people hanging out to me. No one looks like a 'gang member'. I call bullshit. I want to see the charges and who's being charged with what. 100 undocumented? Hardly.
Said the same thing. I wanna see how many of these people they can actually stick with charges. They're gonna inflate the entire thing with meaningless propaganda then when it fizzles out they'll divert attention to their next fustercluck.
Bondi will suffer for her part in this travesty. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but Karma will make sure she is held accountable and her suffering will match those she has harmed by her ignorance and fealty.
The veterans are. I have a few friends that I've been working on converting. They know that I put together a package for congress to put a home over every homeless veterans head for $900 million. And get our troops GMC Denali EVs vs Tesla Cybertrucks for the military. Rubio wanted Teslas.
That is great. Bravo to you. 👏🏾 My husband is a veteran and ignores a lot of veterans benefits (commissary, exchange, PTSD groups) bc he hates to deal with the association of MAGA in any way. Hope you succeed in your mission. Our veterans are so overlooked and our country needs to do better by them.
I was born and raised here and went to school on Ft. Carson through High School. Our school was diverse and fun but the rich school in town is all white, racist and snobs. We always beat the shit out of them in football. Loud mouths until you divide them. Then they fold. Just like MAGA
I just don't see Colorado Springs as a hotbed of Latino gang activity. I haven't been there for a long while, but it's a military town in the mountains (6,000 ft altitude) that also hosts a lot of Christian mission orgs, so - TdA? It's not making sense.
Criminals should be incarcerated, but they should also be given hearings or trials to determine IF they are criminals. Since this happened so recently, how are they sure that these are all illegal immigrants or immigrants at all. Charge them, jail them and let them have due process.
Sure they were. They just happen to be in a nightclub all together while ICE is out and about waiting to deport folks in Colorado Springs of all places. Yeah right
I have a simple plan to remove a wide variety of criminal activities in the USA! Starting with the current administration, anything from traitors, fraudsters, money laundering, rapist, human trafficking, child pornagrapy --- just for starters!
I'm hoping ICE doesn't show up at the Kentucky Derby. Rich folks would freak if they had to muck stalls, groom and hot walk, ride and exercise their multimillion horses.🤔💀
Post all of the criminal charges- to date they haven’t on a goddamn immigrant they have arrested! And they are arresting/detaining/deporting AMERICAN CITIZENS TOO
So, the DEA is going after migrants instead of drug dealers and smugglers.
If DHS, ATF, FBI, DEA, state and local cops are going after immigrants who haven’t been charged with crimes…
then who the hell is going after the terrorists and criminals?
They were elected to office, the most precious offenders, or hired by them. Human traffickers, rich drug abusers and arms dealers to horrible countries make up our government now.
And unlike opposing parties views most of those statements above have been proven.
If national security information can be sent via #signalgate without consequence then show the evidence of gang affiliation justifying a legal warrantless entry into a private establishment
I live about a mile from where this happened and it's really inconceivable to me that what law enforcement is saying about the people in this club is true. I call b.s.
Now you know how a lot of folks in Seattle felt during the #BLM Summer, seeing our police chief, head of the SPOG, and our mayor lying on national news about what was happening in the CHAZ/CHOP. Saw it with my own eyes, and the lies were believable only to those not actually there.
First off watch how the biggest number of single arrests for trump's bull policies was done by *gasp* the DEA. Now the way they did this seems quite dangerous which is inexcusable given the technology big brother has, what if this went sideways? There is a parking lot with the cars used by patrons 1
got there in, the license plates are known, cameras and physical tailing could be employed for any individual in violation and what if there were no drugs there after all, a certain % of those in there were already undercover drugs cops doing anything others may have been anyway, this is total 2
But they rather tell the public they are doing jack booted thuggery tactics and approach knocking in doors and busting out windows for tough gloves approach so they think they are being 'tough' on crime.
Make becoming a citizen free and easy. Instead of deporting people, help them become legal citizens. It shouldn't be illegal to live anywhere. We all share the planet, and borders are made up. I get needing records, so just make it free and easy.
If all men who served honorably in the US Army are terrorists in your world view, then yes, I'm a glorified terrorist. I think that opinion speaks more to your character than mine. Be well
And yet, even with the path to citizenship being made increasingly harder, these men and women are still willing to come here to defend our Constitution against foreign AND DOMESTIC enemies
I’m sure we will find out whether they are US citizens or not in court when they get their due process…
I’m sure the service members working security or enjoying themselves inside could give some insight.
I hope to god the administration isn’t throwing them under the bus, I can see loyalty issues…
Yes, they absolutely are entitled to due process. In the case of illegal immigrants subject to deportation solely for entering the country illegally, the due process procedure includes expedited removal.
My own quick research shows the location was 296 S Academy Blvd. The owner is a guy named Mike Moon, and I find it bizarre that *he* was never notified by Colorado Springs that there was illegal activity on his property which would be SOP. So that automatically makes anything DEA did suspicious.
Someone noted this may have been a "performative raid," which is not beyond possible, as the U.S. constabulary is infamous for such tactics, typically using them to telegraph its thuggish intolerance to a wider audience for behaviors it deems socially unacceptable.
Pick your group: AAs, LGBT+, POC, Immigrants, Women, -- any member of this group can share horror stories of being caught in a dragnet of constabulary oppression under some invented guize of, "public safety."
Doesn’t DEA realize we don't believe anything the federal authorities say any more. How many are they handing over to ICE for illegal deportation without due process?
It is hard to believe anything law enforcement is saying with so much top-down corruption, lying, and misinformation being spouted by the illegal regime. #impeachtrump
There is a clear agenda with this administration. So many stays have been put in because of the sloppiness of DEI (Didn't Earn It) hires having no idea how to execute a clean arrests. I hope we can take notes and change things IF we make it outta this. We are already the world's biggest joke now.
What happens to their possessions if they’re never allowed back home to pack, or say goodbye? Do they loose everything? Who gets it? THAT would be a great story to pursue.
According to the AEA, individuals must go through judicial review, then be provided time to set their affairs in order. But we all know that this is not happening. Likely all thier possessions will be part of a civil forfeiture.
We're supposed to just believe they are "illegal"? Will they get their day in court to prove it or not before they are shipped anonymously to god knows where? They have arrest quotas to fill, how can we trust the gov just cuz they say it?
This wasn't a drug bust. When the focus is on how many immigrants they captured, it's clear that was the focus. Finding some party drugs on people at a nightclub, of all places,doesn't constitute a "drug bust" for the DEA. A nightclub with a high number of migrants is likely cuz of the neighborhood.
Patrons of an event space selling liquor without a license were told to go outside where they were stopped and held by police, before agents broke into the building and chased out everyone remaining inside to also be stopped and held by police. you *really* think people were just allowed to leave?!
What "gay" right do you consider to be on the chopping block?
Trump is the first president to enter office as a supporter of same sex marriage. He has gay people working for him, notably Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
One of the oldest dirty cop tricks in the book.
"Because one person at a party had drugs, they're all guilty."
Really? Let me try the same thing at ANY Wall Street investment bank or even a Police Station and see if everyone comes back clean. (Hint: They won't.)
So why aren't they raiding where the drugs ,guns and money are kept? Are they selling drugs at the knight club? Is the owner involved in selling drugs?
Sadly, these days I am unsure if the headline means the immigrants were in the country illegally, or if they were lawfully present and illegally arrested.
Active duty service members are illegal immigrant, terrorist, street gang members? That’s some wild accusations there DEA? Can’t wait to see this mountain of forthcoming evidence.
If you have smart phones, they have your data. If they have your data, they know your habits. If they know your habits, they know where you are. Change your habits and toss the smartphones.
Locally reported as "...Investigators noticed members of Tren de Aragua, MS-13 and Hell's Angels all attending the club."
This knitter has questions. Do gangs party and crime together? Also Hells Angels is a motorcycle club and in NY state is incorporated as the Church of Angels.
I’m no expert, but I worked in the nightlife scene for a long time, on both coasts of murica. In my experience, Gangs do NOT hang together. And I highly highly doubt 1. Tren de Aragua and MS-13 hang 2. I know for a fact Hells Angels generally don’t hangout and party with anybody else.
I would not believe a word of this story especially the numbers, just fyi. The last time the regime "raided a nightclub", which was actually just the common room of an apartment complex, in CO they claimed 50 'illegals' detained. The actual number turned out to be 1.
DEA was never anything other than a Nazi tool used to eliminate people they didn't like. no big time, big money dealer ever gets busted bc DEA are probably the biggest ones behind everything to justify their own existence. how many different cops we need for the same "crime"?/
do you ever heard of anyone getting busted when one of those subs full of coke arrive? their cargo is paid for before it comes like anything else, and you have to use cash, no checks, no credit cards and who has that kind of money? very Rich Republican Types or DEA themselves/
especially if they know they're not gonna pay for it, all profit for them(DEA). just like the bullshit about people giving you free extra drugs without having to ask with your weed. if anybody is putting other drugs in weed for free it's the DEA to justify their existence once again. nothing is free
I just don't buy any of these raids that are continuing without regard for judicial orders!
What is the procedure? Are people getting due process???
I doubt it!
And apparently white kids doing cocaine in nightclubs down the street aren't summarily searched and asked to prove citizenship bc the drug den pays a license fee to the local elders.
One-I question this-I find it hard to believe 114 immigrants would be that stupid and gather all in one place because Two the current political climate the risk of arrest is too high to do such things.
If you are an immigrant travel in only the tightest circles
publicize it. every single one of these persons deserves a full hearing and justification of the governments alleged "illegality" of their status. "say their name" is not just a chant for chant's sake
Note to immigrants - even WITH papers, these flunkies will haul you away.
Please stay out of places known for drugs, illegal activities and especially "underground" nightclubs. These places are already on the radar!
They are merely purging the country of brown people. This has nothing to do with immigration, it has everything to do with color. They are afraid of a country where white European people will be in the minority and lose control.
I wonder if we'll ever know if they were in the country illegally or not... if only there were a way to present evidence and have a neutral party make a determination...
Comments
I assume these people are getting due process, right??
Anyone from Colorado who has information on this?

When a Sipho from Africa knows more than you then you need to do some catch up.
2. It's still in operation.
3. Even if it was shut down, there is still 988 in operation.
4. You're reacting to a DRAFT document that hasn't been implemented yet.
Learn the facts. Your original post is misleading.
You got it wrong. It's not too late to delete your false information and start over.
The #suicide hotline in the US is still up. No one has removed it.
The number floating around "from Canada" is -
1) the incorrect number
2) for a #transgender hotline that isn't even suicide-exclusive
3) is not new
Please stop sharing it!
988 is still up and running 24/7, despite the post saying it isn't.
It's quite damaging if someone calls the Trans Lifeline after-hours believing it's their only option and can't reach someone.

Probably some not being able to open.
I'm going to say this outstanding citizen here is absolutely telling the truth when he says he has no idea anything was going on there.
Yeah, sure, they're illegal. At this point, I don't even believe her purse was stolen.
Okay, let me try...
I personally arrested 23 extraterrestrials who were aggressively tapping on the fish tanks at a local pet store.
Wow, I feel so accomplished now!
That's quite a story.
Maybe DEA agent Pullen should go back to his day job, and stop lying to the American public.
If you want to control people, control what makes them happy.
Sex, music etc.
I'm not believing it
If they’re raided, I’m sure it’ll be after it’s over.
Money, money, money.
I sure hope yam tits or his evil spawn don't show up either.

& TDA in the same club? 🤔🤔🤔
Yeahhhh... Ok
What part of "illegal nightclub" do you disagree with?
Also, patrons were warned to leave before arrests began.
Remember, ignorance of the law is no defense in a court of law.
I didn't know patronizing this illegal, underground nightclub was wrong, Judge. Gimme break?
Let's see if you can grapple with this by yourself 😄
No one has to explicitly state a speakeasy is illegal, either

I doubt it!
Night club raided by DEA as a front for ICE to target brown folks.
DEA Special Agent in Charge Pullen added that
“there were over a dozen active duty service members in the club either as patrons or working as armed security guards.”
Under cover?
Under arrest?

That last paragraph's mighty interesting. Makes me ponder misdirection.
"Pullen added that there were over a dozen active duty service members in the club either as patrons or working as armed security guards."
But look! Immigrants!
Because there are many reports of rapes and murders at night clubs.
