"the Tren taking over apartment buildings in Aurora Colorado., a story that has been disproven."

Do you have some link to that "disproof?"

I know someone who lives in Aurora, and she's more or less confirmed it. She said it was a very poor and rundown apartment complex neglected by the management, and consequently attracted a lot of poor migrants. TdA did in fact control it, for a while at least.

So what is your story?

Do you think “the Tren taking over apartment buildings in Aurora Colorado., a story that has been disproven.“ summarizes the situation correctly?

Here’s what your own link says:

“Chamberlain also stressed during the conference that the Aurora PD's focus is on criminal behavior. Earlier this month, Aurora announced the arrest of 10 "documented" Tren de Aragua members. Charges from https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/crime/police-and-law-enforcement include child abuse, attempted first-degree murder, illegal discharge of a firearm, and others."The Aurora Police Department targets criminals based upon their actions and not on their immigration status," said Chamberlain. "Immigration status is enforced by federal laws, by federal issues."

My friend who lives there said:

“Aurora has not been taken over by Venezuelan gangs.  There is an apartment complex in Aurora run by out of town slum lords that do not do any maintenance.  It is very cheap and a lot of immigrants lived there.  They are the only ones who stay even though half the time there is no water and usually no heat.    The landlords said they couldn’t do maintenance because of the gang.  There were of lot of crimes there preying on people who had very little and some of them are from a Venezuelan gang.  About 10 Venezuelans have been arrested and that seems to have taken care of the problem. “

So I’d say you need to correct your story. The apartment building story is true; the “Aurora has been taken over by gangs” is not.

"Gtfo" -- you're outing yourself here as a propagandist masquerading as a "journalist." The very personification of why public trust in the media is at at all-time low.

I don't name my friend who's lived there for 20 years and is probably better educated than you are, since she wasn't speaking for public attribution.

And you, douchebag, are now Blocked.
