The nightclub had moved between several Colorado Springs addresses, but had been inside the building raided by federal agencies on Sunday for several months, officials said.

The operation came as President Donald Trump is approaching 100 days into his second term, marked by a surge of controversial policies, including a crackdown on immigration in the US.

Police said authorities arrested two men on outstanding warrants during a large-scale federal raid of an "undercover nightclub" in Colorado Springs on Sunday morning. Police said 33-year-old Julio Santiesteban was arrested on a misdemeanor failure to appear warrant out of Adams County.
