An illegal immigrant gang from Venezuela has taken over apartment complexes in Aurora Colorado. Fox News. They Mayor of the city, Mike Coffman, said that the gang had taken over two apartment complexes, pushing out the owners and collecting rent and "protection" money from the residents. The Tren de Arugua gang had also issued threats to the police, but a gang leader known as "Cookie Monster" was arrested. Coffman blamed the federal government for allowing the people into the country and shipping them to Aurora.

Disturbing new footage from Aurora, Colorado reveals that an illegal immigrant gang has completely seized control of an entire apartment complex.

My Comment:

Well, that's a pretty good argument for the 2nd Amendment. One guy with a rifle could have done something to stop these gang members from taking over these apartments. Of course, knowing the current sad state of criminal justice in blue states you would probably get arrested, but at least you would still be alive. 

This is an extraordinarily dangerous development. The one thing the government should not tolerate is criminal gangs extorting people and that appears to be what is happening here. The victims are probably illegal immigrants or other foreigners but even then there is no excuse for allowing this to happen. The entire reason to have a government and a police force is to stop this kind of thing happening. If they can't do so then we have descended into warlord-ism...

The gang is a major problem. Tren de Aragua started in a Venezuelan prison but has spread through North and South America as the people of Venezuela have fled the socialist government. The gang went with them and are now moving to places where they have moved to to further exploit those people. They are the biggest criminal organization in Venezuela and are a major threat. 

I do think that the Biden/Harris administration is responsible for this. None of the folks coming from Venezuela are being vetted in any way and now a lot of criminals have come into America. Venezuela, as an American adversary, does not give us any information of who is a criminal and who isn't. We have no way to tell who is a criminal and who isn't, not that I would want any of these people coming in regardless. 

If the border was closed and the "remain in Mexico" policy was still in place, none of these people would be in the country. And the Tren de Aragua gang would not be exploiting them. To be fair, the gangs in South and Central America might be, but that would not be our problem at all. It would be there problem. 

I think it's only a matter of time before US citizens are affected by this problem. Indeed, if the third video (the Libs of TikTok link, which I usually wouldn't use but she's the only one that had the video) is true then they already are. Those folks were just normal, African American, citizens of the city and they almost got hit by a car. If the Tren de Aragua gang get more powerful they are the kinds of folks they could be targeting next. 

Will anything be done about this? It sounds like at least the gang leader, the "Cookie Monster" fellow, is under arrest, but both the local, state and federal law enforcement agencies need to tamp down on this as soon as possible. If they don't I think it's only a matter of time before people pick up arms nad start their own gangs to protect themselves and that could lead to out and out warfare between Tren de Aragua and American civilians... 

All of this is entirely predictable. Bringing people in from the third world brings third world problems. Venezuela is a failed state with a large criminal underclass that has a major reason to get out of the country. Allowing them to come here has brought the same problems and the only solution is to get them to stop coming and sending them back home. 

I do think that this is going to be a major campaign issue. This is the kind of thing that nobody wants to see in America and it plays into Trump's major campaign issue of border security. Harris has tried to convince people that she will be tough on the border, but the results of the Biden-Harris policy is clear. People are not going to want to vote for Democrats as long as they understand that this could be a result.
