From Fox News: Although Denver’s suburbs don’t share its sanctuary city policies, the influx of migrants into the Mile High City has spilled outward. Now, its neighbors are facing an unprecedented wave of activity from a notorious Venezuelan prison gang.
Officials from Aurora, about nine miles east of Denver, told Fox News Digital the Tren de Aragua gang has gained a strong foothold in their city, commandeering apartment complexes and drumming up violent crime and sex trafficking.
“We currently have entire complexes under gang control — complexes where staff have been beaten up, they’ve been threatened, their families have been threatened [and] complexes where there are no staff left on the property,” Aurora City Council Member Danielle Jurinsky said. “These complexes are being run by this Tren de Aragua gang.
“They start brokering apartments themselves when someone leaves out of fear or whatever. They go in and take pictures of the apartment themselves. Then, I’ve been told, within hours, a Venezuelan family moves in.
“Parts of the city are absolutely under this gang control. The local media is downplaying this,” she warned. “Nothing is being done to help the American citizens that are being trapped under this gang’s control.”
Joe Gamaldi, national vice president of the Fraternal Order of Police, also spoke with Fox News Digital about the alarming issue, and said, “This is not a Denver problem or an Aurora problem. This is a nationwide problem. There are gangs from all over South America that are coming over here and getting a foothold in our country.”
Jurinsky said Aurora business owners are reporting the threats they’re facing from the Venezuelan gangs, including violence, break-ins, doors kicked in, and more. One apartment owner said one of their tenants simply vanished. He wasn’t paying rent, so they owner got police to come open up the unit. Inside, they found guns, money, and giant barrels of gasoline. To this day, they have no idea what happened to the man.
