Venezuela Gang Members Have Taken Over an American City. Here's How the Governor Responded.

[Tall Timbers]

This week, Townhall covered how a violent Venezuelan prison gang known as Tren de Aragua has spilled into Aurora, Colorado and has full-blown taken over apartment complexes.

Horrifying footage shows the illegal aliens patrolling an apartment complex with a rifle. Video captured on a doorbell camera shows the men attempting to get into an apartment.

As Townhall reported, Aurora is not a sanctuary city. Denver, however, is a longtime sanctuary city. Aurora was one of the neighboring cities that wanted no part in Denver’s “sanctuary” approach to President Joe Biden’s border crisis.

In response, Democrat Gov. Jared Polis called the anger and fear that’s arisen from this footage “imagination.”

Aurora is where the airbnb is located where I'd stay when I was in the Denver area for any reason.

This governor is only going to change his tune and leadership actions if it becomes accountable. Until then, leaders like him will do nothing and make ridiculous statements. Hard to believe our citizens put up with this garbage.

I saw the video on YouTube. A bunch of guys walking around in the apartment building, one of them with a rifle.
Just sickening. Stupid Governor would feel differently if they were in his posh neighborhood.

And I'm the opposite. Strange. Anyway, the fact is that this entire situation is outrageous and the governor's response is so weak and ineffective as to be ridiculous. I hope the right thinking people have Colorado Mount up an opposition to his reelection in 2026, and ensure that he does not have a lapdog state House or Senate following this November's elections.

Saw it on Fox. Unbelievable, instead of removing the criminals they talk about removing the residents.

I just came back from Aurora last week. That’s where my dad lives with his wife and my half brothers. I’m praying they stay safe. My dad has told me he’s wanting to leave because he’s seeing so many Venezuelans but stays because of my brother’s medical care. I don’t think he realizes how bad it’s getting.

Mike said he saw items locked up at their local Walmart and saw someone stealing some beers. We were relieved to be back home in NH.

Oh Cheeky!!! Praying with you for their safety and that the news will FORCE that evil governor to do something about it instead of threatening people who speak out.

I’m glad it made the news and pray it will force the governor’s hand.
