Active Duty Military Members BUSTED Working As Armed Security For Illegal Alien Gang

Early Sunday morning, a DEA raid arrested over one hundred illegal immigrants at an underground nightclub in Colorado Springs.

Many of these illegal aliens were likely members of gangs like Tren de Aragua or MS-13. They are now being held by ICE. Many guns and drugs were also seized during the raid.

Here’s a clip from the bust:

But, that’s not all.

Perhaps the most shocking discovery made during the raid was who was running security detail…

As it turns out, over a dozen active duty U.S. military service members were acting as security guards!

DEA Special Agent in Charge Jonathan Pullen had this to say:

For those who prefer to read, here’s a partial transcript:

Pullen: “So this is an underground illegal nightclub, okay? And what was happening inside was significant drug trafficking, prostitution, um, crimes of violence, we seized a number of guns in there. We had active uh duty service members who were uh, running security at the club and involved in some of these crimes. Um, and in fact we had uh, over a hundred illegal aliens inside as well and those over a hundred illegal aliens were taken into custody by ICE.”

Reporter: “Active duty service members helping as security here, can you elaborate on that at all?”

Pullen: “So it’s an ongoing investigation but um, we had over a dozen active duty service members in the, in the club tonight either as patrons or working as armed security.”

Fox News reported:

About a dozen U.S. active-duty service members were also found at the club, special DEA Rocky Mountain agent Jonathan Pullen told multiple outlets. The service members were inside the club as patrons or working as armed security.

“I think that everybody that goes into a nightclub at 3 o’clock in the morning knows what they’re getting into,” Pullen told Denver 7. “The active duty servicemembers who were there will be dealt with by Army CID [Criminal Investigation Division]. They were on scene with us, and they are partners in this investigation.”

DEA Rocky Mountain confirmed to Fox News that those active duty service members found at the club have so far been detained and are not under arrest at this time.

Court martial time?

What do you think?
