Gang violence is increasingly becoming a significant issue across various countries, including the U.S., Denmark, and Sweden. In Aurora, Colorado, Edward and Cindy Romero struggled to escape a Venezuelan gang's takeover of their apartment complex, attributing the rise in crime to the Biden-Harris administration's immigration policies. In Europe, particularly Denmark and Sweden, rising gang violence has prompted government officials to collaborate on strategies to combat the increasing trend of Swedish criminals being utilized by Danish crime networks. Meanwhile, Sweden has the highest gun-homicide rate in Europe, with military support given to police for street violence. The situation in Western Europe is alarming, as organized crime, once considered distant, is now threatening public safety in historically secure societies. This surge in violence has led to security measures like armed protection for customs operations in Belgium to prevent theft of seized drugs.
