KANSAS CITY, Missouri - Federal agents raided a Kansas City night club Sunday night and issued citations to dozens of people witnesses say may now face deportation.

An NBC Action News crew was at Club Oasis, 2805 Southwest Blvd., around 12:30 a.m. Monday as dozens of people exited the club with citations.

Cell phone video from a patron inside the club shows the raid in progress.

People inside the club say they thought authorities were issuing tickets for underage drinkers until they saw immigration and customs enforcement agents

One woman we talked with says people without proper identification and a criminal record were arrested and those without proper ID and no criminal record were given citations. She estimated about 20 people were taken into custody and as many as 200 more cited.

Investigators would only say early Monday there was a police presence at the club overnight, but no further information was released about the citations and reported arrests.
