This is by design. A Denver law firm, hired to look into an alleged gang takeover of an Aurora apartment building, says they found theVenezuelan Tren de Aragua gangbegan taking over the Whispering Pines Apartments in late 2023. Since then, the gang has engaged in violent assaults, threats of murder, extortion, strongarm tactics, and child prostitution as they have exerted a "stranglehold" on the Aurora apartment complex. That's according to a letter sent to Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman, Aurora City Manager Jason Batchelor, and the interim police chief that was obtained by CBS News Colorado. Each page of the nine-page report was labeled "CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED." The Perkins Coie law firm shared its findings on Aug. 9 with Aurora's top administrators. "The evidence we have reviewed indicates that gang members are engaging in flagrant trespass violations, assaults and battery, human trafficking and sexual abuse of minors, unlawful firearms possession, extortion, and other criminal activities, often targeting vulnerable Venezuelan and other immigrant populations," wrote T. Markus Funk, a former U.S. Attorney.

Its worst than we thought. Harris was actually warned this would happen and she did nothing. “They’re coming.” That’s what Miguel, a Venezuelan migrant who came to America with his wife and two daughters, told me about the gang, Tren de Aragua, earlier this year. “And they’re very bad.” The past few days have shown how far the Venezuelan gang appears willing to go. In Aurora, Colorado, Tren de Aragua has allegedly terrorized the local community. According to Mayor Mike Coffman, at least two buildings in the city “have fallen to” a group of armed men, suspected to be gang members. “This is an organized criminal effort. Whether it’s Tren de Aragua, that remains to be seen,” Coffman told Fox News. “But it really doesn’t matter. I mean, if they’re Venezuelan migrants in there conducting crime in an organized way, they’re a problem.” Videos released on social media showed men believed to be members of the gang carrying rifles and handguns in the hallways of the buildings, knocking on doors, and using a tire iron to force their way into an apartment. The buildings, part of The Edge at Lowry complex on Dallas Street, reportedly have been under siege since at least mid-August. Nick Shirley, a popular YouTuber, paid a visit to thecomplexand filmed residents describing the situation. One told him that the landlord recently stopped collecting rent, as “the gangs and the mafia are taking advantage of all this to get us out . . . as if we were dogs.” Another resident, Cindy Romero, whose security camera recorded some of the alleged gang activity, told Fox News that she has “months” of footage. On one occasion, she said, police did not show up when called. “There was an ongoing investigation that they did not want to interfere with,” Romerosaid. At a different apartment complex in Aurora, CBS Newsreportedthat the owners had hired a law firm to investigate the alleged gang takeover of one of their buildings. The firm “found the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang began taking over the Whispering Pines Apartments in late 2023,” per CBS, and concluded that the gang had since “engaged in violent assaults, threats of murder, extortion, strongarm tactics, and child prostitution.”
Shouldnt the Mayor of Aurora in charge of local law and order simply bring the police in and arrest the people who are violated numerous laws out in plain sight? Why is that GOP Mayor sitting on his hands and doing nothing??
So we have these foreign gangs taking over parts of American cities and Kamala Harris laughs about it and turns it into a punchline.
Sick Democratic open door policy https://www.nationalreview.com/news...y-target-for-nonprofit-driven-migrant-takeove Poorly Managed Aurora Apartments Offered Easy Target for Nonprofit-Driven Migrant ‘Takeover’ Two publicly funded Denver nonprofits — ViVe Wellness and Organization Papagayo — chose to move thousands of Venezuelan migrants, including some members of the violent Tren de Aragua street gang, into run-down apartment complexes in nearby Aurora precisely because those buildings were poorly managed. In an email to Aurora City councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky, obtained by National Review, Jessica Prosser, the director of Housing and Community Development for Aurora, says she learned that ViVe and Papagayo were moving migrants into Aurora through conversations with three city, state, and county offices, including the Colorado Office of New Americans (ONA) and the Department of Local Affairs (DOLA). The state and local officials explained that three apartment complexes run by CBZ management were chosen to house the illegal immigrants because the property managers failed to do basic due diligence on their tenants. “No housing quality inspections were completed to check for even basic life safety concerns prior to placing individuals in apartments,” Prosser writes. She goes on to say the CBZ apartments were chosen because they “had lower rent, lack of consistency with providing leases, and more leniency with the number of people in each unit.” According to the same email, ViVe and Papagayo worked together to place “many” individuals and migrant families in the apartments dating back to spring of 2023 and provided, in some cases, the deposit and three months’ rent. The two nonprofits had placed 8,000 Venezuelan migrants across 2,000 leases in Aurora as of April, according to the Colorado Sun, though it’s unclear exactly how many of those ended up in CBZ buildings. The nonprofits chose to unload the migrants in Aurora without asking permission from the city or coordinating with local officials in any way, Jurinsky told NR. In February, Aurora reaffirmed their status as a non-sanctuary city and passed a resolution banning the transportation of migrants into city limits. The resolution “demands that other municipalities and entities do not systematically transport migrants . . . to the city for temporary housing without the City first being given an opportunity to coordinate such assistance.” Colorado governor Jared Polis and local progressives have tried to downplay the chaos and violence that’s descended on Aurora, pushing back on Mayor Mike Coffman’s claim that the CBZ apartments have been “taken over” by gangs. But, according to Cindy Romero, who used to live at the Edge apartments, that’s exactly what’s happened. “They want to say there’s no takeover. I don’t know what your definition of ‘takeover’ is, but there were no managers, no owners, the housekeepers were being harassed, and these guys changed the locks to the outside of buildings.” “I saw them breaking down doors and taking pictures, then showing the apartments to different families like they were real-estate agents.” “They had their own electricians, locksmiths, and plumbers, and they cooked in my building for like 50 people like six days a week. They partied all night until breakfast then went to bed. They carried guns and terrorized every lease holder until they moved. I was the last [lease holder] in my building.” Romero says August 18 was one of many days her calls to police went unanswered. “I called them at 7:54 a.m. to report seeing six men with three automatic weapons, and APD called me back and said they couldn’t do anything about it.” “That was a terrible thing for them to ignore, but they said they couldn’t do anything about it until something happened.” “Well, it did,” says Romero. “My friend is dead.” APD confirmed that Romero’s neighbor, Oswaldo Jose Dabion Araujo, 25, died as a result of a shootout, likely killed by the very armed men Romero had reported to police. Romero says she wasn’t close with Araujo, but called him her friend. “I used to let him go through my trash. . . . I could write a book on all the crazy things we’ve been thru [sic]. And I still helped everyone that I could. I left furniture and clothes and food for the ones with families.” The mayor explained in an interview with a local Fox affiliate that he believed, based on his conversations with residents, that the property managers, CBZ Management, were “chased off” the property by gang members. Coffman even speculated at the time, “Is it an agency or the federal government perhaps using some of our local nonprofit partners here as a conduit?” Coffman has not yet come back to the public with the answers to the questions he raised. But the email obtained by NR confirms his suspicion: Nonprofit groups, funded by Denver taxpayers, are sending Venezuelan migrants into Aurora in large numbers, and many of those migrants have turned out to be members of a violent gang — a gang that is heavily involved in fentanyl trafficking, according to the DEA. Jurinsky has tried to bring attention to the deteriorating situation in Aurora, earning the ire of Governor Polis. “Aurora officials should not be airing their dirty laundry for right-wing media to consume,” Polis scolded. And Polis is receiving help in downplaying the gravity of the situation from local publicly funded nonprofits: The progressive East Colfax Community Collective organized a press conference to promote the notion that apartment residents are unbothered by the sudden influx of migrants. According to their website, ViVe’s mission is “health equity through physical and emotional wellbeing.” In a Facebook post from December 2023, the executive director of ViVe Wellness, Yoli Casas, called Papagayo Vive’s “right-hand.” Papagayo’s mission is to “influence through programs that foster the development of educational, comprehensive, social and cultural development of the community in Colorado.” According to an article by City Journal, between 2023 and 2024, the city of Denver gave ViVe and Papagayo $4.8 million and $774,000, respectively. According to public records, much of this funding came from the Migrant Support Grant, which was funded by ARPA. Then, in 2024, ViVe secured an extra $10.4 million across three contracts, while Papagayo received $2.9 million from a single contract to serve migrants; two of those five contracts were awarded to implement the Denver Asylum Seekers Program, which promised six months of rental assistance to nearly 1,000 migrants. Drugs and Child Prostitution Crimes and citations have more than doubled at two of the CBZ apartment complexes — Whispering Pines and Aspen Grove — since 2022, while nearly doubling at the third complex, Edge at Lowry, according to the Common Sense Institute, a non-partisan think tank. The owner of the apartments hired a Colorado law firm to investigate the alleged gang takeover of the Whispering Pines Apartments, CBS News reported. The report concluded Tren de Aragua members committed a long list of crimes including: trespassing, unlawful firearm possession, assaults, threats of murder, extortion, strong-arm tactics, and child prostitution. TdA now uses the formally vacant units to host “parties” where they “serve drugs and child prostitution,” according to the report. The property manager told the law-firm investigators that “minors are a good source of money.” The report further revealed a consultant for the property manager was so severely beaten and stomped by gang members that he had to go to the hospital. And a housekeeper was threatened to give up her keys. The suspects said if she didn’t comply, they would kill her or her family. The officer concluded his report with, “I would highly recommend you guys take two to three friends with you when responding to any calls there.”
