The owner of the apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado, that was taken over by the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua criminal gang has agreed to sell the property in exchange for the city’s pledge to drop a lawsuit against the company.
The Denver Gazette reported Nome Partners and its owner, Zev Baumgarten, agreed to sell or lease the property and pay up to $60,000 to clean up and secure the complex.
Aspen Grove was shut down last month by the city amid charges that the property carried multiple health and safety issues; roughly 300 people were forced to move out. However, Nome Partners and its property operating firm, CBZ Management, stated the properties’ decline was created by Tren de Aragua’s and that they repeatedly sought help from police, city and state officials to address the presence of gang activity at the complex. The landlord also tried to hire off-duty police officers to secure the complex, but the Aurora Police Department refused to make its officers available.
City officials, along with their counterparts in neighboring Denver and Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, initially tried to downplay the presence of Tren de Aragua with various claims that the story of the gang’s presence was either false or exaggerated.
CO is suffering from its blue (weak) leadership & bleeding heart ideology “they’re here to make a better life”. More criminal gangs consisting of illegals in Sanctuary cities/states & with deFund the police force will get them more of this misery, that’s the agenda & a big win for the biden/harris admin/DOJ. It’s on purpose city leaders & law enforcement do nothing. Lawlessness is what they want.. Watch Property values will drop. Imagine trying to sell your home in Springfield OH… Middle America is under attack, leftist (dems) ideology seeks to destroy America & no one here is willing to admit that. It’s no longer a left or right paradigm it’s about becoming aware that this chaos is by design & the destruction will only ramp up.
