The mayor of Aurora, Colorado, has announced an emergency court order is being requested to clear the apartment buildings that have been taken over by the Venezuelan criminal gang Tren de Aragua, while Colorado’s governor still insists claims of gang encroachment were figments of “imagination.”
Mayor Mike Coffman took to Facebook to report Aurora City Attorney’s Office was preparing court documents that would declare the gang-occupied properties as a criminal nuisance.
“This will require a municipal judge to issue the order with the goal of getting these properties back under the control of the property owners,” said Coffman. “In the meantime, the law enforcement task force set up to disrupt and arrest Venezuelan gang members in these buildings will continue its operations.”
Coffman insisted the gang activity “has been isolated to properties that are all under the same out-of-state ownership whose problems with code violations and criminal activity preceded the migrant crisis. I strongly believe that the best course of action is to shut these building down and make sure that this never happens again.”
Coffman’s acknowledgement that Tren de Aragua had taken over local properties contradicts the claims of Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, who insisted the growing presence of the criminal gang in Aurora “is largely a feature of Danielle Jurinsky’s imagination” – a reference to the Aurora city council member who alerted the national media to the gang’s growing power in the city.
Three days ago the CO Gov said it was a hoax.
I have people on the ground there that say otherwise.
Gather up these illegal immigrant Criminals, Arrest them, and Take half of them To Kamala Harris house, and the other half to the Governors Residence in Minnesota. Let them have some fun with their buddies Kamala and Tim.
WANTED FOR TREASON!!
KAMALA HARRIS. TIM WALZ.

I think the Governor should move into one of these apartments to prove to his voters that it is all a figment of someone’s imagination.
We need to get rid of the current administration and take our Country back! The United States cannot sustain another four years of this!
What bigotry based on unknown facts in this article.
Did you and I read the same article? I saw quotes from the mayor of Aurora and law enforcement on their plans to take action regarding criminal behavior in their community. Since when is that bigotry in an article or in the actions of the quoted officials in Aurora.
Thank you Vicki for pointing the obvious!
Bigotry? Against whom??
You’re right. The governor must be bigoted towards Polish City Council members.
Since when is t bigotry to stop criminal actions and to keep people safe.
impeach this governor and do not vote Democrat or you get another governor just like the one you have
The need for involvement from the governor and local judges suggests that the police department lacks sufficient authority. When the tail begins to wag the dog, it indicates a significant issue. We should avoid repeating the mistakes seen in Washington state, particularly in Seattle.
Most of us knew this was going to happen sooner than later with the open border. I suppose being in a gang to the liberal is a job.
