Good morning, Colorado Springs.

The DEA’s Rocky Mountain Field Division, assisted by EPSO and CSPD, conducted an operation at an underground nightclub off Academy Boulevard at 4 a.m. Sunday, April 27 that led to the seizure of drugs and weapons — officials advise people to avoid the area near Airport Road and South Academy Boulevard.

Colorado Springs police in a large-scale operation led by the Rocky Mountain Drug Enforcement Administration conducted a heavy drug bust early Sunday morning at an underground illegal nightclub—officials are reviewing the scene for further evidence.

Federal agents and local officers raided an alleged illegal nightclub near Academy Boulevard + Airport Road at 3:45 a.m. on April 27, with more than 300 agents involved.

More than 100 undocumented individuals were detained in a raid at an illegal Colorado Springs nightclub early Sunday morning as the DEA reported law enforcement seized drugs, weapons, and evidence of prostitution by over 300 agents from local and federal partners (about 200 people were present, including some active duty service members).

On March 28, Lazarus Fields—swarm coordinator for the Pikes Peak Beekeepers Association—and fellow beekeeper Frankie Bailey inspected bee hives near Colorado Springs to keep colonies healthy during swarm season.

Fields said careful hive management is vital for saving bees that face harsh winters, disease, and pesticide challenges.

Colorado’s Judicial Department said it will amend existing rules to extend oversight over private judges after a Denver Gazette investigation found retired jurists made political contributions banned by conduct rules—raising concerns about accountability.

Critics argue the current system lets wealthy litigants bypass standard processes while the department plans to address the oversight gap.
