The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Rocky Mountain Division led a multi-agency operation early Sunday morning and arrested 114 illegal immigrants at the venue that contained more than 200 people inside.
Authorities uncovered drugs, including pink cocaine, as well as evidence of prostitution and multiple firearms during the operation, according to the DEA.

Per CBS News:
Video posted by the DEA on social media shows agents in tactical gear smashing the window of a building as dozens of people walk out the front door. Some of those initially attempt to run from the area, but agents and officers with guns drawn tell the crowd to get on the ground. That video shows many of them complying and putting their hands up.
DEA officials went on to say that active duty U.S. military personnel were at the party, some working private security and others as patrons.
“It’s obviously concerning to have active duty military involved. We’re working with our partners at Army CID on that case,” said DEA’s Rocky Mountain Field Division Special Agent in Charge Jonathan Pullen. “There’s a lot of military bases here, so it’s not necessarily surprising, but we’re going to take that very seriously.”
An official with Fort Carson — the large U.S. Army post near Colorado Springs — said that active-duty soldiers are allowed to have employment outside the U.S. Military, but it needs to be approved by their unit commander. The official did not immediately know if any of the servicemembers allegedly at the event had that approval.
In a tweet, U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi said the club is frequented by gang members, that cocaine and methamphetamines were seized, and that two people were arrested on existing warrants.
No one who was detained or arrested at the event has been publicly identified.
