We told you about Venezuelan gangs taking over Colorado apartments. Now, there’s video…

August 29, 2024 | | Print Article

Video footage has emerged of armed criminal alien gang members freely moving about in a Colorado apartment complex in Aurora.

The footage, seen below, adds to the evidence that a violent Venezuelan prison gang even more hardcore than MS-13 has taken over in the Denver metropolitan area, including in Aurora.

The armed gang members seen above are believed to be part of the Tren de Aragua (TDA) gang, which, as previously reported, has seized several apartment complexes in the Aurora area.

Speaking with Fox News, Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky said that “without a doubt that there is sex trafficking now going on” in the area thanks to the gang’s presence.

“This is organized,” one former apartment dweller added. “They patrol the property with guns visibly, like they’re not trying to hide them. There’s no repercussion. These are ghosts.”

The former apartment dweller, a woman, just made it out of her overtaken apartment building on Wednesday thanks to help from Jurinsky and congressional candidate John Fabbricatore.

“I literally had to borrow from everybody I know to get into a new place,” she said. “And it’s every bit of money I had.”

Below is a video of a local resident complaining about how criminal aliens have taken over the Denver metropolitan area:

Part of the problem is that the police appear to be missing in action. When questioned by the New York Post, Denver police union boss Marc Sears claimed it’s “absolutely inaccurate” to say the gang is taking over the city.

“They’re not any different than any other documented gang that we have,” he claimed. “I can tell you that the officers, is there a concern about this quote-unquote ‘green light’ that they have on officers. Sure, there’s a concern about it, but in my opinion, as the union president, I feel that we have been green-lighted since 2020.”

By the “green light,” he meant reports that TDA members have been given a “green light” to open fire on the police.

Speaking with a local Fox News affiliate, the Denver Police added on Wednesday that they were “not aware” of any apartment complexes being taken over by TDA.

The female resident wasn’t surprised by this denial of reality.

“There’s no safety net for you because the police are not coming,” she said. “They say, ‘Stay inside and lock your doors.’ I have to work! I was paying rent. These people haven’t been paying rent at all. I’ve been paying rent every month for years.”

“I hope [the police] do something because they could have helped me get out. Literally. Their answer for me was, ‘You ever think about moving?’ That’s what they told me when I was like, and I started crying. There’s no help coming for any of us. The police have checked out. They’re not on our side,” she added.

Even Jurinsky wasn’t surprised by the police’s attitude.

“In the entire Denver metro area, it has been like pulling teeth to get anyone, the media, other elected officials, to get anyone to acknowledge the presence of this trend and to acknowledge that there is even a problem,” she said.

Below is more video footage concerning TDA’s presence in Aurora and elsewhere:

John Fabbricatore, a former ICE official who’s now running for Congress, previously complained to the Post that local officials have been slow to react to the gang’s growing presence in the area.

“It’s become increasingly clear that certain city officials, including the Aurora Police Department, have downplayed or ignored the criminal activities affecting many neighborhoods in North Aurora,” he said.

“Notably, illegal immigrant gang activities have been present in specific apartment complexes throughout Aurora, yet these issues have been understated for what appear to be ideological reasons,” he added.

FYI, Denver is a Democrat-controlled metropolitan city …

Responding to reports about the madness in Aurora, Rep. Lauren Boebert noted in a tweet that the city as it is today is unlike what it was when she was growing up.
