ADDITIONAL

INFO:

The Biden-Harris Administration’s open border policies coupled with the state of Colorado’s sanctuary policies and the city of Denver’s sanctuary city status have fueled and exasperated the immigration crisis in Colorado. Since Joe Biden and Kamala Harris took office there have been over 10 million illegal alien caught entering America. According to the Denver Gazette, the City of Denver has spent more than $74 million since January 2023 to provide housing, food, and transportation to more than 42,000 illegal immigrants.

Numerous criminal acts have been committed by Tren de Aragua gang members in recent months in Colorado including:

  • Took over at least three apartment complexes in Aurora. 
  • Beat and stomped a consultant for the property management company so severely he went to the hospital.
  • Stabbed a resident for refusing to pay rent to the gang and threatened to kill a property manager.
  • Threatened to kill a housekeeper and her family if she didn’t give them keys to vacant apartments.
  • Violently broke into vacant apartments, kicking doors open, and moving Venezuelan illegal immigrants into empty apartments.
  • And they even used vacant units to host parties where they serve drugs and child prostitution.

This morning, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, Congressman Chip Roy, Congressman Doug Lamborn and Congressman Greg Lopez sent a demand for answers and action to multiple local and federal officials regarding the sanctuary state policies that have allowed Venezuelan gangs to terrorize Colorado.
