Two days ago I mentioned how towns around Sanctuary City Denver are having a lot of issues with illegal aliens, particularly with the Venezuelan gang members, especially Aurora, which has seen the notorious gang take apartment complexes, and they do not have the manpower to do anything about it. How does the governor respond?
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis dismissed anger over Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua taking over apartment buildings in the Denver suburb of Aurora, calling it “imagination” — despite video footage, police reports and the city’s mayor confirming it’s happening.
Polis’ press office offered the snarky statement Wednesday night in response to Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky — who told The Post the gang’s takeovers are tied to his policies.
“The Governor has already let the Mayor know that the State is ready to support the local police department with assistance from state troopers and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation if needed,” Shelby Wieman, a spokesperson for the Dem governor, told The Post.
“But, according to police intelligence this purported invasion is largely a feature of Danielle Jurinsky’s imagination.”
Too bad Aurora doesn’t have the ability to round them up and bus them to the governor’s home. Let Polis experience the diversity
On Wednesday night, Fox Denver aired surveillance video, which showed an armed gang of men — later confirmed by cops as suspected members of Tren de Aragua — strolling through an apartment complex in Aurora that residents said is overrun by the gang.
Three of the men could be seen carrying handguns, while another held a rifle as they entered the troubled apartment complex, breaking into a unit shortly before a shootout took place at the complex that left one person severely injured.
Further, Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman, told Fox News on Thursday that “there are several buildings” that have “fallen to these Venezuelan gangs” in his city.
Yet, the state is doing nothing, despite having the resources available, which would most likely necessitate the deployment of the National Guard. It is against the law for foreigners to carry firearms, for a start. Where did they get them? There’s zero chance they obtained them legally.
The Post asked Polis’ office if he intends to backtrack its statement given the piles of evidence of Tren de Aragua’s takeover, to which Wieman said the governor “really hopes that the city council members in charge stop trashing their own city when they are supposed to keep it safe.
I’d say that Aurora should blow off the sanctuary law of Colorado and call ICE, but, would the Biden-Harris admin actually do anything? This is what you will get with a continuation of the Biden-Harris policies if she wins in November. And, perhaps some Democrat voters in Aurora and the surrounding towns are learning that there are consequences for voting Democrat, since these illegal gang members are also shoplifting around town and scaring the citizens. Those Americans in the apartment complexes are being terrorized.
Seriously?
Too bad Kumala already picked her VP.

It’s a shame that there isn’t a way to recall an elected official and have a vote of no confidence. Waiting until a next election is so inefficient and allows for so many things to get memory-holed. The Colorado governor sounds like a real a-hole, in denial of reality for political policy reasons. And the citizens are suffering for his negligence.
