U.S. Army Soldier Arrested on Drug Charges in Aftermath of Colorado Nightclub DEA Raid
Breitbart ^ | 05/03/2025 | Randy Clark

Posted on 05/03/2025 2:45:07 PM PDT by DFG

A U.S. Army soldier is facing drug-related charges in connection with a recent raid by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) on a Colorado Springs, Colorado, raid. The raid led to the arrest of 114 illegal aliens and the seizure of handguns, drug paraphernalia, and narcotics.

Juan Gabriel Orona-Rogriguez, a 28-year-old soldier, is facing federal criminal charges of distribution and possession with intent to distribute cocaine and conspiracy to distribute cocaine after his arrest in connection with the recent DEA raid of an underground, unlawful nightclub in Colorado Springs. Orona-Rodriguez is accused of selling cocaine to an undercover DEA agent.

According to a criminal complaint filed in the District of Colorado, Orona-Rodriguez, the active-duty soldier, unlawfully distributed controlled substances. The complaint alleges that Orona-Rodriguez sold cocaine to the undercover federal agent during the week of April 21, 2025, six days before the raid on Warike, an unlawful nightclub known to be frequented by illegal aliens.

According to an announcement by the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado, when investigators obtained a search warrant for Orona-Rodriguez’s phone, they found text messages between September 16, 2024, and April 9, 2025, which appear to show him repeatedly purchasing cocaine and selling it to others.

Orona-Rodriguez’s connection to the underground nightclub is believed to be in a capacity beyond that of several other active-duty military members present in the club at the time of the raid. According to court documents, Orona-Rodriguez appears to hold a leadership role in Immortal Security LLC, which provides armed security at “nightclubs” — including the after-hours, unlawful Walrike nightclub in Colorado Springs.

What rank?

It used to be, any reportage about a servicemember notably used their rank - “Sgt Smith” or whatever. Always. Now it is uniformly (heh) absent. Why is that?

OLD article...still, obviously, relevant.

Military-Trained Gang Members in the Volunteer State in the United States: Revisiting the Issue after Four Years

United States Military Criminal Investigative Organizations (MCIO) - the Army Criminal Investigation Command (CID), Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI), and Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) - have identified military personnel with gang membership or affiliation in every branch of the U.S. military (National Gang Intelligence Center [NGIC], 2013). While military laws prohibit active membership, street gangs, Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs (OMGs), and Domestic Terrorist Extremist (DTE) groups all have members who have or are enlisted in the military.

“””Juan Gabriel Orona-Rogriguez, a 28-year-old soldier,”””


I am guessing that Juan is one of those Obama Dreamers who was promised citizenship if he joined the Army.

Am I correct?

OK, that’s one of ‘em, but what about the OTHER 16 active duty soldiers providing “security” for an unlawful nightclub known to be frequented by illegal aliens, from which 114 illegal aliens were arrested?

Technically I do not think this Soldier is allowed by regulation to hold a job off post.

He is a SSG so there is no excuse for him not knowing the rules. SSG's are were the rubber meets the road !

The only attraction of the military is the retirement. Not too smart to throw it away.
