A couple of points…

  1. “Underground nightclub”. Those are still a thing?

  2. “Attorney General Pam Bondi said that the club was ‘frequented by Tda and MS-13 terrorists.’”

and 3) “Pullen added that there were over a dozen active duty service members in the club either as patrons or working as armed security guards.”

Wow, what are the chances there were THREE groups of terrorists there…

    “Underground nightclub”. Those are still a thing?

    Pretty much on how you define what’s “underground”. Like literally underground? Yes sure. Small nightclubs with let’s say maximum 50 people, still exists. Non regulated unlicensed nightclubs, harder to know from a client point of view but there should be a lot of them.

    Im an avid raver and go to the first type sometimes and regularly to the second type too. To the third type a couple if times in favelas on Rio, but here in São Paulo I haven’t seen any of those.

      It was probably just located in a basement but underground makes it sound like that’s where all the seedy criminals gather

        Or it’s just an unlicensed venue. You just fit out an abandoned warehouse in an industrial estate and throw a party, I’m sure that’s still a thing.

          It could have been just about anything with the way language gets treated like putty these days.

        It was a warehouse, and they basically just found a place where Venezuelans partied. From what I remember they basically got no charges out of this raid and it blew up a DEA investigation that had been running for awhile.
