Raiding what appears to be a Crematogaster sp. colony, based on the pupae they're carrying. Probably C. dentinodis or opaca based on the location.
Seems like they had "checkpoints" where they would pile up raided pupae and larvae, a similar behavior to other army ants like Eciton.
Thanks to @cheetolord02 for spotting them, definitely a cool find.
