More than 100 undocumented immigrants detained in Colorado nightclub raid: DEA
Dozens of undocumented immigrants were detained by federal agents in a raid at a nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colo., early Sunday morning, officials said, as the Trump administration steps up its enforcement efforts across the country.
More than 100 people were taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Jonathan Pullen, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Rocky Mountain Division special agent in charge, said at a news conference.
