The Colorado Springs Raid: When Federal Operations Go Too Far


Listen Later

A massive nightclub raid in Colorado Springs has resulted in 105 people still separated from their families with minimal charges filed, raising serious questions about law enforcement tactics and due process. We examine the concerning case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who remains wrongfully deported to El Salvador despite court orders, and discuss active-duty military members caught in the nightclub raid.

• Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains in El Salvador 50 days after being wrongfully taken from his family
• Trump publicly admitted he could return Kilmar but refuses to do so
• 300 officers from 10 agencies raided a Colorado Springs nightclub with only 2 people charged with unrelated offenses
• 105 people remain unaccounted for with families afraid to ask about their whereabouts 
• 17 active-duty military personnel were at the raid, some working as armed security
• The raid targeted one of Colorado Springs' most diverse communities, creating fear and mistrust
• May Day's origins in American labor history deserve more recognition as worker protections continue to erode

Join us for our May Day march supporting local unions at the post office and Penrose Library as we fight to preserve community resources and worker protections.
