News summary

Aurora, Colorado Mayor Mike Coffman has initiated legal action to clear apartment buildings overtaken by the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, which has reportedly collected rent through intimidation. Following viral footage of armed gang members, Coffman stated that the buildings would be declared a 'Criminal Nuisance' to restore control to property owners. He emphasized that Aurora is a victim of federal immigration policies and nearby Denver's sanctuary city status, asserting that the city has been negatively impacted by a lack of border security. Coffman revealed that the gang's presence is linked to a concentration of Venezuelan migrants, suggesting they may have been placed there by external forces. Law enforcement operations are ongoing, and at least one gang leader, known as 'Cookie Monster', has been arrested. The situation highlights broader concerns regarding immigration and organized crime in the area.
