Colorado's top 10 drug criminals arrested, facing deportation under DEA operation

The DEA Rocky Mountain Field Division reported that 10 individuals in Colorado who were considered to be among the most serious drug criminals were apprehended as part of the operation called “Return to Sender.” These individuals have been turned over to immigration enforcement agencies. The operation has resulted in the arrest of over 90 individuals within a span of 16 days.

DEA RMFD said on social media that at least three of those arrested were part of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA).

While the 10 suspects whose photographs were made public are deemed serious offenders, a spokesperson for the DEA pointed out that there are even more dangerous individuals among the other suspects that total around 80 people.

These 10 arrested suspects have been transferred to the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and are likely to undergo deportation proceedings. It’s important to note that not all of the 90 individuals arrested were undocumented immigrants, and details of their cases cannot be disclosed due to ongoing investigations.

Pullen told Fox News that law enforcement agencies have been told to work together since President Donald Trump took office.

“We are collaborating in ways we never have before. We are taking the information in DEA’s tank and ICE’s tank and HSI’s tank and the FBI and are putting it all together and we are collaborating [in] ways we have never seen before in my entire career.”

Since Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20, ICE raids have detained thousands of illegal aliens nationwide.

The Trump administration has pushed ICE to increase the number of arrests per day from a few hundred to at least 1,200, according to a previous report by Fox News Digital.
