Potential gang activity was caught on surveillance camera in a Colorado apartment building after what one former resident calls “no accountability” kept law enforcement from assisting.
The video shows many men armed with handguns, and one with a scoped rifle, bursting through the door of the apartment complex for unknown reasons.
The group appears to be Tren de Aragua, or TdA, a transnational gang based out of Venezuela. The gang, with reportedly 5,000 members, has a motto of “real until death,” or “real hasta la muerte.”
TdA is now linked with over 100 crimes across the nation, according to reporting from the New York Post.
Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky said in an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital that “without a doubt that there is sex trafficking now going on” in relationship to TdA’s activities in the city.
“This is organized. They patrol the property with guns visibly, like they’re not trying to hide them. There’s no repercussion. These are ghosts,” said one resident who spoke with Fox News Digital on the condition of anonymity.
The gang has also been seen dealing drugs in the same apartment building, according to this resident.
The resident, who moved out of the overtaken apartment building on Wednesday afternoon with the assistance of City Council Member Danielle Jurinsky and congressional candidate John Fabbricatore, said to Fox News Digital that “I literally had to borrow from everybody I know to get into a new place. And it’s every bit of money I had.”
She also credits Fox News with her move out of the troubled complex, saying “Through the help of Fox News actually, they connected us with the councilwoman who, Danielle Jurinsky, pulled together all the resources to get us some help and get us out of there.”
Aurora Police released a statement via X, saying “we believe reports of TdA influence in Aurora are isolated.”
Nearby Denver Police told FOX 31 on Wednesday that they were “not aware” of any apartment takeovers by gangs in the area.
“There’s no safety net for you because the police are not coming. They say, ‘stay inside and lock your doors.’ I have to work! I was paying rent, these people haven’t been paying rent at all. I’ve been paying rent every month for years,” the resident told Fox News Digital.
Due to the Biden-Harris administration allowing millions of illegal migrants into our country, the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua is now taking over suburbs of Denver, CO.

Beautiful. The US is exhibiting Noble Suicidal Empathy because it is allowing these Venezuelan classicists, neurosurgeons, and mathematicians to enrich Colorado. Inshallah, if @kamalaharris becomes POTUS, she will ramp up the open borders because as she explained on so many… https://t.co/vTGDrafv3j

Meanwhile Biden, Harris wants us all Disarmed just more of their crimes against America and Americans
This shit would not fly in Texas.
Brings back old, bad memories of the block takeover and gang battles before we left LB, CA.
Police were outgunned, out manned and out motivated.
For the gangsters it was a lifestyle, for the police it was a paycheck.
Getting out was the only viable option.
So, if and when the police decide to take action, what happens when the gangs take hostages in the apartments? Now, there are no good answers; people will die. This is what the Democrats bring to America, and they don’t care because they want the VOTES.
In 1984, George Orwell wrote three slogans:
The governor of Colorado claims this gang’s apartment takeover is “just your imagination.”
Has he also got a “Room 101” to take believers of the gang takeover into to torture them into saying, “Two Plus Two Equals five?”
It’s amazing that the first response to a call of armed men banging on doors at an apartment building was not a full SWAT response. Instead, in typical Democrat manner, they just deny the problem exists and ignore it. Aren’t they curious as to how illegal immigrants get themselves armed?
More than likely that their primary concern is doing nothing that will make illegal immigrants not vote for them.
KMGH-TV Denver, CO., wrote an apologist screed about how all this coverage of the gangs hurts their feelings.
Lucianne had a thread based on that story and the comments are BRUTAL!

So, it’s a fantasy says the governor.
It hurts our feelings, say the illegal population in CO.
And the American citizens who are being forced to leave their homes or pay “rent” to the gangs to stay are ignored.
Wrong priorities, folks.
These will all turn into hostage situations and more innocent people will be killed. This is what Democrats want for the entire nation. I wonder if this will be attempted in Texas?
