CDN Linked Underground Nightclub Raided by ICE in South Carolina

"Socalj" for Borderland Beat


Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 72 illegal aliens at a nightclub run by a suspected member of the Cartel del Noreste/Los Zetas during an operation in the Charleston, South Carolina area over the weekend. Los Zetas, now formally recognized as Cártel del Noreste (CDN), was designated a terrorist organization by the Trump Administration in February 2025.


Two alleged cartel/gang members and one person wanted by Interpol for murder in Honduras were among at least 80 people arrested during a weekend sting operation at an unlicensed nightclub near Charleston, South Carolina.


Federal, state and local law enforcement raided the Alamo nightclub, located in an industrial area outside the town of Summerville, around 3:00 AM Sunday. The club had no license to operate or to sell alcohol.


About 200 people were there at the time of the raid. The investigation, dubbed “Operation Last Stand,” continues, Charleston County Sheriff Carl Ritchie said during a news conference Monday.

He referred to the club scene as a “cartel afterparty.” More than 80% of those arrested are living in the United States illegally, he said.

The owner of the illegal night club, Benjamin Reyna-Flores is suspected of having ties to CDN/Los Zetas.

Those arrested included two people believed to be “high-level cartel members” said U.S. Department of Homeland Security agent Cardell Morant. One connected to Los Zetas/CDN and one from Tren de Aragua.

The law enforcement agencies went in with 116 warrants for 80 people. Five people were arrested for criminal offenses, Morant said.


Prior to the operation, ICE received information from a source that “The Alamo"-–an underground illegal nightclub-–was the location of weapons, narcotics, and human trafficking.

The illegal club was operating inside of what was Kelly's Barbeque restaurant, seen here in a 2017 Yelp photo.


10 juveniles, some as young as 13 including one reported as missing, as well as potential human trafficking victims were present. They were turned over to social service agencies. 


Officers also seized guns, cocaine and cash, Ritchie said, without giving details on the amounts.

One of the most high-profile arrests was of Sergio Joel Galo-Baca, a Honduran illegal alien and foreign fugitive with an active Interpol Red Notice for homicide in Honduras.

“Day in and day out, the brave men and women of ICE are working with local law enforcement to keep American communities safe. The successful operation that took place in the Charleston area resulted in more than 70 arrests of illegal aliens—including an international murder suspect and the dismantling of a nightclub run by a suspected cartel member where drug, weapon, and human trafficking were taking place,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.

“Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, fugitives and law breakers are on notice: Leave now or ICE will find you and deport you.” Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Charlotte led the operation with local law enforcement, which took place on June 1.

  1. NOw all the fucken MAGA racist shitters are going to assume that all the people attending this club were traffickers themselves and or illegal immigrants.
    One thing for asses like the cartels to try or own properties in the United states but its another to say that everyone inside these places is complicit in illegal dealings.
    Yes even if the people inside were mostly illegal does not mean that they are all comiting felony crimes in this country.

    1. That's true but if there are other illegal immigrants there, they are going to arrest them as well and they should. I'm all in for LEGAL immigration. Its not fair to the people who wait and do it the right way

    4. It’s insane to call this a “cartel afterparty” when only one detainee was allegedly associated with CDN and one detainee was allegedly associated with TDA. So what, if one mafia associate attends a block party it’s now a “mafia party”? Also no information being put out about how the detainees are linked to CDN and TDA. We’ve all seen how someone having the wrong tattoo gets identified as a “TDA member” (despite the fact that TDA, for obvious reasons, doesn’t use tattoos as signs of membership). However, being from SC, I know that none of that matters to the average SC resident who knows nothing about Latin American criminal organizations—they just see some Hispanic dude with tattoos being identified as a cartel member and take it as true.

      Trump supporters are racist pieces of shit. That’s bullshit and even you know that. Everybody with a pulse knows the overwhelming majority of “racists” are on the opposite side of Trump and his supporters. Hate and violence spews and oozes from the New Democrats and the liberals!! FACT!!

    9. They committed a crime by crossing over into the U.S illegally. There is actually a law against that but some president's and the majority of business (cheap labor) favor hands off. Trump just needs more of the necks in the south and Midwest to vote for him.

      MAGA lol MAGA lives in your head rent free. Just something to place the blame on. Justifying illegal activity and gaslighting to try to manipulate people.

    19. @2pm You are guilty of the same accusation of labelling, "all the MAGA racist...are going to assume...everyone inside these places is complicit in illegal dealings."

      I'm a Canadian MAGA and realise that any minors or possible trafficked persons in that establishment would be innocent.

      All MAGA's are definitely not racist just the same as ALL IN THAT ESTABLISHMENT are not committing felony crimes if they are minors or forced to be there.

    20. Guess we better arrest and depot trumps dad. You're always trying to justify problems by pointing to another. Mexico has problems, but look at Chicago etc. It's so pathetic. If you are here illegally it's time to go. This has gone unchecked for so long you feel entitled to be here. I couldn't go live in Mexico illegally and I'm sure you don't have a problem with that. You're a hypocrite and acting in bad faith. Sorry you're racist. No reconquista i guess.

  3. Illegal immigrants need to understand that things are done differently here in the U.S than in their crappy countries. First of all you need to own or rent property in order to run a business. Next you need to file the proper paperwork for your your business and acquire a liquor license. These fools think they are in their country where they can do anything like the wild west. Not here. If you are here illegally then that by definition makes you a criminal. Even if you are not accociated with CDN. You need to be arrested and deported. Nuff Said!!!

    4. @2:31 you kidding right you think criminals think about permits and liquor licenses? This was an underground illegal club. Not not because some were actually illegal immigrants. But because everything done in there was illegal. Drugs guns woman gambling. And you know how the government gets when you do not pay their fees. This was a big operation had active and off duty military probably police too.

  17. Composicion original - saludos a toda mi gente BB, que disfrutes con este jajaa.

    🎶 Corrido del Álamo y la Jefa Noemí 🎶
    (Estilo norteño con picardía y ritmo de parranda)

    [Verso 1]
    En Carolina del Sur, donde el BBQ es ley,
    se coló un antro sin nombre, sin permiso y sin grey.
    “El Álamo” le decían, pero no era disco tejano,
    era guarida del CDN, con tequila mexicano.

    [Verso 2]
    No tenía licencia, ni barman certificado,
    pero sí tenía corridos, perico y mucho pecado.
    A las tres de la mañana, cuando el gallo ni cantaba,
    ICE llegó con todo sus machos ¡y la fiesta se acababa!

    [Coro]
    Linda Noemí, jefa Trompista
    Tus tacones mandan más que un sicario en la pista
    Con Trump y su justicia, no hay antro que se salve,
    y los que no se fueron… ya van rumbo a la nave.

    [Verso 3]
    Doscientas almas bailaban, con cumbia y reggaetón,
    pero en vez de irse a su casa, brindaban con ron.
    “Última copa en el gringo,” gritó un vato con dolor,
    “mañana desayuno frijoles… pero en El Salvador.”

    [Puente]
    Había armas, coca y feria, y hasta menores perdidos,
    y un hondureño buscado, con cargos bien encendidos.
    Pero el más buscado esa noche, no era el de Interpol,
    era el DJ que gritaba: “¡ICE llegó, sálvese el sol!”

    [Coro Final]
    ¡chiquito Álamo, ya no eres leyenda ni rumor!
    Eras templo del desmadre, ahora eres puro dolor.
    En el sur no se perdona, ni el perreo ni el cartel,
    y si Noemí te señala… ya te carga Lucifer.

  19. Trump at first wanted felony criminals deported. That's understandable, but he is having others that are not felonies also deported, like a student that made a right turn on Red, got turned over to ICE in Georgia.
    He instructed his agencies...he wants to see 3,000 deportations a day, a quota the agencies can't meet, he fires some high ranking members. Even touching and revoking student visas and deporting students from China, Africa and India.

    1. Why should anyone be here without citizenship let alone get citizenship from parents here illegally? No other countries allow that but illegals here seem to think they're entitled to it.
