In the picturesque city of Colorado Springs, a storm of trouble was brewing that would make any law-abiding citizen gasp. The DEA had to roll up their sleeves for what would be a hefty catch of over a hundred undocumented immigrants. These individuals had reportedly turned an otherwise quiet corner of town into an unlawful nightclub, a meeting hotspot for notorious gangs like MS-13 and TDA. Now, there’s nothing like a good neighborhood club, but when it draws in crime like a magnet and racks up a whopping 170 emergency calls, even the densest politician should be able to spot the flashing red lights.

This crack-down didn’t pop up overnight like some spontaneous summer thunderstorm. It’s been on the DEA’s radar for quite some time, and thank goodness they finally decided to pay a visit. Dragging out chaos into order, agents courageously put themselves in the line of fire, quite literally, with individuals outside living their best “wild west” dreams, treating the parking lot like the new O.K. Corral.

You might wonder why charming Colorado, known for its mountains and serene views, has become a watering hole for illegal antics and disturbing chaos. Thanks to its so-called sanctuary policies, which allegedly open the floodgates for such unlawful gatherings, Colorado has come under a spotlight, albeit a baffling one. Funny, one would think sanctuary means safety and protection, not a mode of operation for criminal networks.

One can only imagine the relief of the citizens living nearby, constantly on edge about stepping out for milk and returning full of holes. The good folks of Colorado, along with many onlookers, are thanking the DEA agents. These agents weren’t just dodging bullets and fists but were dealing with an enormous web of narcotics and potential threats, all with the grace of gazelles in a jungle of chaos.

And let’s not sidestep statistics, as there’s nothing more amusing than trying to understand a baffling poll. When you hear of close to half the population approving the handling of immigration under a firm, border-focused administrative approach, one must wonder why that isn’t higher. It’s almost like people enjoy the chaos or simply refuse to see the rampant, public safety nightmare staring them in the face. After all, nobody wants the Wild West to return except maybe in Hollywood films.
