Agents assigned to the Denver offices of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Denver Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the Denver Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) were assisted by local authorities during the Sunday morning raid that resulted in the seizure of an undisclosed quantity of weapons, drugs, and cash.
According to the Denver DEA office, approximately 50 migrants suspected of being in the country illegally were arrested and transported to a detention facility by Denver’s ICE Enforcement and Removal officers, who also participated in the pre-dawn raid. The names and pending criminal charges facing those arrested in the operation have not been revealed.
Last week, the Department of Homeland Security announced it would be tapping other federal law enforcement agencies to assist in the apprehension of illegal aliens, Breitbart Texas reported.
“Thanks to the last Administration’s open border policies, we’ve seen violent criminals and gang members terrorize American communities,” a DHS spokesperson said in a written statement. “Today’s action empowers law enforcement officials at the DOJ to help identify and apprehend aliens who have illegally come into our country.”
Sunday’s raid is the latest of several immigration actions the Trump administration took since the inauguration. On Thursday, 538 migrants included “a suspected terrorist, four members of the Tren de Aragua gang, and several illegals convicted of sex crimes against minors,” according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
As reported by Breitbart News, the suspected terrorist arrested is Turkish national Gokhan Adriguzel, 29, according to ICE records. ICE New York arrested Adriguzel for entry without inspection during nationwide immigration operations conducted on Thursday.
