Trump’s Unverified Claims Of Armed Gangs Taking Over Residential Buildings in Aurora, Colorado Fuel Immigration Concerns

Former President Donald Trump recently made unverified claims on the campaign trail, asserting that armed gangs are taking over buildings in Aurora, Colorado. Trump cited the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) as an example, drawing attention to a video of alleged gang members demanding rent from residents in Aurora. Though city officials acknowledge TdA’s presence, they deny widespread gang control. Migrants, particularly undocumented individuals, face exploitation from gangs like TdA, who engage in extortion and trafficking.
