Trump warns violent Venezuelan gang could take over ‘whole damn state’ of Colorado American Wire News

The issue of illegal immigration is perhaps Democratic candidate Kamala Harris’ greatest weakness. Former President Donald Trump continues to harp on the issue, highlighting the negative impact of the Biden-Harris administration allowing more than 10 million foreigners into the country.

Two stories have dominated headlines lately, one about the concerns of local residents in Springfield, Ohio, which has taken in about 20,000 Haitian migrants, and the other about the criminal practices of the notoriously violent Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua in Aurora, Colorado. Interestingly, the mainstream media has reacted angrily to claims made in both communities, as local officials — see Democrats — insist the storyline is being taken out of context.

Campaigning in Georgia on Tuesday, Trump warned that the illegal immigrant gang from Venezuela will “take over the whole damn state” of Colorado if he doesn’t become president.

“We need to tell this woman that she has allowed record numbers of people into our country. They are coming from all over the world,” he said. “They are now causing criminal chaos all over the country. Aurora, Colorado, you saw that, where Venezuelan gangs are taking over real estate, they are becoming real estate developers. How cool is that?”

“They’re taking over real estate and they’ve got weapons that even our military has said, ‘Who’s going to give them the weapons?’ But Aurora is a mess,” Trump continued. “The governor is a mess. You know, the governor is a Democrat and he’s a radical left Democrat. And he’s not that popular right now because they’re going to take over a lot more than Aurora. They’re going to go through Colorado, take over the whole damn state by the time they’re done, unless I’m president, they’re not going to last long.”

Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman told Fox News last month that several apartment buildings had “fallen into the hands” of the Tren de Aragua gang, who he said began collecting rent from residents. Aurora’s interim police chief, Heather Morris, would later deny those claims.

The media reported the story as a “false rumor,” but CBS News reported that Aurora officials “confirmed” Venezuelan gang activity and that a viral video showed heavily armed gang members breaking into an apartment. There was also a shooting that day that reportedly involved the gang, which left one person dead.

Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky was quoted in the article commenting on the lack of police response.

“People reported seeing individuals patrolling their properties with weapons and walking through their buildings. They repeatedly called the police, but there was no response,” Jurinsky said.

After the story broke, Aurora police arrested three suspects who appeared in the viral video. One of the suspects admitted to being a member of the Tren de Aragua gang.
