Criminal Alien Gangs Move Into Suburbs Near Sanctuary City

After walking across the U.S. southern border, violent Venezuelan gang members have flocked to the sanctuary city of Denver where they can commit crimes without fear of deportation. Christina Coulter of Fox News reports that the Tren de Argua gang is now moving into the suburbs which do not share Denver’s sanctuary city policies. Aurora, Colorado, which is nine miles from Denver, has entire apartment complexes that are now controlled by the gang:

“We currently have entire complexes under gang control—complexes where staff have been beaten up, they’ve been threatened, their families have been threatened [and] complexes where there are no staff left on the property,” Aurora City Council Member Danielle Jurinsky said. “These complexes are being run by this Tren de Aragua gang.

“They start brokering apartments themselves when someone leaves out of fear or whatever. They go in and take pictures of the apartment themselves. Then, I’ve been told, within hours, a Venezuelan family moves in.”

Members of the Tren de Argua gang have been arrested for the attempted rape and murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley and for the shooting of two NYPD officers earlier this year.

It is estimated that 40,000 illegals have migrated to Denver since 2022 and according to local officials, Aurora has become the gang’s home base in Colorado. Due to the increased crime and burden on local budgets to provide services for the illegals, five Colorado counties have sued the state arguing that the Denver sanctuary city law violates the state constitution which protects the ability of local governments to work with the federal agencies.

In the wake of Denver Mayor Michael Hancock’s assertion that citizens should agree to “shared sacrifice” to make the city “welcoming for migrants,” Douglas County Commissioner Abe Laydon says “We have been apprised that there has absolutely been an increase in property crimes, assault and trafficking, and it’s specific issues with the cartels coming out of Venezuela.”

The crime caused by President Biden’s open border policies has moved to the suburbs. Are those “suburban moms” who elected him in 2020 going to vote the same way this year?
