“Colorado today. Did you see that? Where Venezuelan gang members have taken over parts of the city.”
“They’ve taken over apartment houses.”
“Because these stupid people that we have leading our country are allowing these people, these criminals, to come and to come into our country and we’re going to get them the hell out of here.”
“We’re going to get them the hell out of here.”
Aurora officials have been investigating a Venezuelan gang, the Tren de Aragua gang, who is accused of taking over apartment complexes in Aurora.
The gang is allegedly engaging in human smuggling, violence, money laundering, and illicit drug trafficking throughout the U.S., including at the apartment complex on Nome Street in Aurora.
The violent gang is accused of taking the properties from the property managers and is even charging rent according to reports.
