Share this @internewscast.com

On June 2, 2025, ICE conducted Operation Last Stand, raiding a cartel-run nightclub in Summerville, South Carolina, and arresting 72 illegal immigrants.

The Post Millennial reported, “The operation led to over 70 arrests, including members of the Los Zetas Cartel and Tren de Aragua gang.” Consequently, this action signals a crackdown on criminal networks.

The Alamo nightclub, believed to have connections to Mexican drug cartels, was the focus of a significant raid. This move has escalated national security concerns, prompting authorities to take swift action.

Details of Operation Last Stand

The raid involved over 200 law enforcement personnel, as confirmed by ABCNews4.

The club on Highway 78 hosted over 200 people for what Morant described as a “cartel afterparty.” Lindsay Williams, the public affairs officer for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Atlanta Field Office, verified the number of law enforcement officers present. Chief Keel mentioned that around 60 were state agents from SLED’s dog fighting unit, fugitive unit, SWAT team, and the aviation unit offering oversight for the operation.

This extensive law enforcement presence, including aerial support from SLED’s aviation unit, underscores the operation’s complexity.

For instance, the nightclub’s owner, Benjamin Reyna-Flores, faces state and federal charges as a suspected Los Zetas Cartel member, highlighting the raid’s focus on dismantling cartel networks.

Therefore, this action reveals the scale of cartel operations in the U.S. The DHS confirmed the arrests, stating, “ICE HSI special agents, along with our partners, conducted a targeted enforcement operation.”

Thus, Operation Last Stand sets a precedent for future actions against such threats.

Implications of the Cartel Club Raid

The arrests in Operation Last Stand carry significant implications. For example, they underscore the Trump administration’s border security focus.

Meanwhile, critics may question the impact on immigrant communities. However, supporters see it as a necessary step against crime.

Additionally, the involvement of cartels like Los Zetas and Tren de Aragua raises alarms about national security.

Therefore, this raid fuels debates over immigration enforcement and cartel influence. In turn, it pressures policymakers to address these threats.

Conclusion on Operation Last Stand

ICE’s raid on a South Carolina cartel club resulted in 72 illegal immigrant arrests during Operation Last Stand.

This action targets cartel networks, intensifying national security concerns.

Consequently, it divides opinions on immigration policy. Thus, the raid stands as a critical moment for U.S. border security.
