Federal agents found “pink cocaine” — a deadly drug cocktail favored by migrant gangs — during a raid on a Colorado underground nightclub where more than 100 illegal aliens were busted, they said.
The major operation in Colorado Springs involving around 300 agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration, other federal agencies and the local sheriff’s office also saw a number of weapons and other drugs uncovered.
“As you may suspect, when the cops showed up at the door, most of the drugs hit the floor,” DEA Rocky Mountain Field Division Special Agent in Charge Jonathan Pullen told FOX31.
“We did find cocaine, looks like some pink cocaine,” he added.
It is the first time pink cocaine, also known as Tusi, has been found in Colorado, the DEA said.
The drug usually contains no actual cocaine, but is rather a potentially deadly cocktail usually made up of ketamine, MDMA, methamphetamine, and caffeine — sometimes with deadly fentanyl mixed in.
The Venezuelan migrant gang Tren de Aragua has been busted for trafficking the drug in the US, including in New York City migrant shelters.
