aurora, Colorado AP —

A Colorado apartment complex where armed members of a Venezuelan gang were caught on video entering a unit last summer is expected to close in about a month under an emergency court order, city officials said Monday.

The city of Aurora had pursued a lawsuit to declare all but one building at the complex a criminal nuisance. Officials last week asked a judge to close the property in the meantime, arguing the situation reached a “breaking point” following the violent kidnapping and assault of two residents last month.

The city’s request was granted Friday ahead of a court hearing Monday.

Lawyers for the property owner, CBZ Management, dispute the city’s allegations and have asked for a trial to decide the lawsuit. However, the process to close the building will still continue as the lawsuit plays out in court, Aurora City Attorney Pete Schulte said at a news conference following the hearing.

A lawyer representing the property owner, Stan Garnett, said he was not authorized to comment on the order.

While CBZ Management has previously said it was unable to provide maintenance to the complex because a notorious Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua, took over the buildings, the city has said the company created the problem by abandoning the running of them, which created a vacuum that let crime flourish.

Aurora Police Chief Todd Chamberlain backed the closure, saying in a court filing that the complex had become a hub for crime because of a “criminal element that has exerted control and fear” over residents.

After the hearing, Chamberlain said he believed that members of Tren de Aragua were part of the problem there, noting that federal authorities say seven of the suspects in the kidnapping and assault are members of the gang. However, Chamberlain said gang members had not taken over the complex and emphasized that the main problem was the lack of management and oversight by the property’s owners.

The city said it is working with the surrounding county and others to provide relocation assistance to residents in 52 affected apartments.

The footage of the armed men at the complex from August drew the attention of President-elect Donald Trump during the presidential campaign. During a rally in Aurora in September, Trump announced a plan called “Operation Aurora” to target migrant gangs.

Four of the six men shown in the August video have since been arrested, according to Aurora police.

There was speculation at the time the video circulated that it showed members of a gang.

Authorities did not confirm a connection until December when Immigration and Customs Enforcement said two suspects from the video who were arrested in New York were members of Tren de Aragua.

According to Colorado court documents, the rifle seen in the video was used in a fatal shooting about 10 minutes later outside the apartment complex. It was found disassembled in an oven in one of the apartments, according to an arrest warrant.

The city did not seek the closure of a sixth building at the complex because a different branch of CMZ owns it. That building is being managed by a court-appointed official at the request of the mortgage lender who is making improvements to the building, according to the city.

Trump Rally in Aurora, Colo., Is Marked by Nativist Attacks

The former president continued to make claims about the city that have been disputed by local officials, including its Republican mayor.

Oct. 11, 2024

Former President Donald J. Trump escalated the nativist, anti-immigration rhetoric that has animated his political career with a speech Friday in Aurora, Colo., where he repeated false and grossly exaggerated claims about undocumented immigrants that local Republican officials have refuted.

For weeks, Aurora has been fending off false rumors about the city. And its conservative Republican mayor, Mike Coffman, said in a statement on Friday that he hoped to show Mr. Trump that Aurora was “a considerably safe city.”

But Mr. Trump has made debunked claims about Aurora, a Denver suburb, such a central part of his stump speech that he took a campaign detour to Colorado, which has not voted for a Republican in a presidential election since 2004, to make the case in person at a rally at the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center.

And during a meandering 80-minute speech Mr. Trump repeated claims, which have been debunked by local officials, that Aurora had been “invaded and conquered,” described the United States as an “occupied state,” called for the death penalty “for any migrant that kills an American citizen” and revived a promise to use the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport suspected members of drug cartels and criminal gangs without due process.

That law allows for the summary deportation of people from nations with which the United States is at war, that have invaded the United States or that have engaged in “predatory incursions.” It was far from clear whether the law could be used in the way that Mr. Trump was proposing.

The false tale that Aurora, Colorado’s third-largest city, was occupied by armed Venezuelans stemmed from a dispute over housing conditions.

An out-of-state landlord, CBZ Management, was being pressed by the City of Aurora over the deplorable conditions in three of its apartment complexes. The landlord told the city in July that its property managers were unable to make the repairs that tenants and city officials were demanding because armed leaders of Tren de Aragua had taken over the complexes and violently expelled the managers. The claim was amplified by news reports and politicians, and took on a life of its own, especially after Mr. Trump began making it a regular part of his stump speech — even after city officials said the claims had been overstated and were not true.

The city put out a statement on Friday pre-emptively fact-checking the former president ahead of his rally.

“A gang has not ‘taken over’ the city,” it said. “The overstated claims fueled by social media and through select news organizations are simply not true. It is tragic that select individuals and entities have mischaracterized our city based on some specific incidents.”

Major crimes, it continued, are down more than 17 percent in Aurora. And “the city is actively deploying every legal tool to ensure CBZ Management is accountable for its properties and meets its responsibilities.”

After the rally, Mr. Coffman, the mayor, said that he was “disappointed that the former president did not get to experience more of our city for himself” and that “the reality is that the concerns about Venezuelan gang activity in our city — and our state — have been grossly exaggerated and have unfairly hurt the city’s identity and sense of safety.”

“The city and state have not been ‘taken over’ or ‘invaded’ or ‘occupied’ by migrant gangs,” he said. “The incidents that have occurred in Aurora, a city of 400,000 people, have been limited to a handful of specific apartment complexes, and our dedicated police officers have acted on those concerns and will continue to do so.”

Mr. Trump’s visit to Aurora comes as he has ramped up his harsh language on immigration and continues to claim falsely that undocumented immigrants are fueling a “migrant crime” wave. Available national crime statistics do not support that assertion. But Mr. Trump relies on anecdotal evidence to make his case.

Mr. Trump’s nativist message was echoed by other speakers at the rally, including Representative Lauren Boebert, Republican of Colorado. Shortly before Mr. Trump’s remarks, Stephen Miller, his top immigration adviser, made anti-immigrant language central to his appeals to the crowd to vote.

“You have the right to want a country that is of, by and for Americans and only Americans,” Mr. Miller said.

His false assertions extended to another city, Springfield, Ohio, where he continued to insist falsely that Haitian migrants who are in the country legally were “really illegal,” as he persisted in stretching the bounds of what he described as unlawful entry into the country.

Many of the Haitian migrants in Springfield have Temporary Protected Status, which gives people from a country in crisis — typically after a natural disaster or political upheaval — the opportunity to remain in the United States legally, regardless of how they entered the country. (In the presidential debate last month, Mr. Trump falsely claimed that the migrants there were eating household pets.)

At the rally, Mr. Trump continued to use dehumanizing rhetoric, referring to violent immigrants as “animals,” “barbaric thugs” and “sadistic monsters.” At one point, he falsely claimed that Ms. Harris had “infested” buildings in Aurora with gang members.

Though immigration dominated Mr. Trump’s speech, he digressed to attack the news media, demean Ms. Harris and stray to other topics. At one point, he seemed to mix up his namesake company with his presidency. “On Day 1 of the Trump Organization — the Trump Organization, when I founded it, it was nice, but now it’s great,” he said. “But I want to get back to the Trump administration, because the Trump administration is going to do things.”

Mr. Trump during his speech acknowledged that his trip to reliably blue Colorado was meant to draw attention to his message on immigration.

The Aurora rally was one of several stops in blue states he will make as the election closes, in a period when campaigns would typically be more focused on battleground states. On Saturday, he will hold a rally in Coachella, Calif., and he will hold a rally in Manhattan at Madison Square Garden later this month.

Colorado media are fighting against the right-wing smear that a Venezuelan gang has “taken over” the city of Aurora

Written by Casey Wexler & Sage Hodil

Published 09/27/24

Right-wing media outlets have turned an uncertain story that a Venezuelan gang “commandeered” apartments in Aurora, Colorado, into a lie that gangs are “taking over” and have fully “overrun” the city of 390,000 people.

A right-wing claim about an apartment complex ballooned to smear a whole city

- Since 2023, Aurora has reportedly been trying to force CBZ Management to fix multiple derelict apartment complexes which the company has claimed that it could not repair due to activity by Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang. CBZ Management’s claims of gang violence gained traction in right-wing media after a video went viral showing a group of armed men in one of the buildings. Aurora police have since claimed that they have identified and arrested multiple TdA members, but it’s unknown if these arrests are connected to the viral footage. The New York Times, [9/15/23]

- In August, right-wing media eagerly jumped on the video and claims of gang violence to promote a narrative of migrant crime.Fox & Friends co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy stated that Tren de Aragua had “commandeered this building.” Fox host Greg Gutfeld said that the Venezuelan gang was “capturing and holding territory in America,” adding, “This is literally an invasion.” Media Matters, [7/16/24; Fox News, Fox & Friends, 8/30/24; Fox News, The Five, 8/29/24]

- Pushing back on these claims, the city of Aurora has said that incidents of gang violence are largely isolated and law enforcement has been taking action. In a statement the city wrote, “As for the perception and reality of public safety in Aurora, please understand that issues experienced at a select few properties do not apply to the city as a whole or large portions of it. TdA has not ‘taken over’ the city. The overstated claims fueled by social media and through select news organizations are simply not true. Again, TdA’s presence in Aurora is limited to specific properties, all of which the city has been addressing in various ways for months.” City of Aurora, [9/11/24]

- Several residents of the buildings owned by CBZ Management have also pushed back on the narratives proliferating in right-wing media. Some tenants have said claims about crime in their apartment complexes are being used to spread “false anti-immigrant and anti-Venezuelan narratives” and that “reports of gang activity have also led to acts of xenophobia and racism from the community.” CBS News, [9/4/24]

- During the September 10 presidential debate, former President Donald Trump escalated the narrative of gang activity from a few buildings to whole cities, claiming “they are taking over the towns.” Trump continued, “They are taking over buildings. They are going in violently. These are the people that she and Biden let into our country, and they’re destroying our country. They’re dangerous. They’re at the highest level of criminality. And we have to get them out. We have to get them out fast.” During a September 24 campaign stop, Trump doubled down and claimed that migrant gangs would “take over the whole damn state.” KVDR, [9/10/24; Mediaite, 9/24/24]

- This misinformation about Venezuelan gangs in Aurora comes as right-wing media and Trump have both pushed the racist lie that Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, are eating pets. Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), has also spread this smear campaign, which has been widely debunked. NBC, [9/10/24; Media Matters, 9/18/24]

* ## Colorado media debunked that gangs are “taking over” the whole city

- Denver’s 9News called the allegation that Tren de Aragua is taking over Aurora “a false claim” and previewed a Trump visit to the city and pushback on the story from city leaders. 9News, [9/19/24]

- 9News again debunked the claims about Aurora being overrun in a report on Trump claiming that gangs would take over the whole state of Colorado if he is not elected. Anchor Kyle Clark reported, “Donald Trump’s claims about a Venezuelan gang in Aurora are getting even more outlandish now extending to the rest of Colorado. Three weeks ago Trump falsely claimed on the national debate stage that a migrant gang has taken over Aurora. … But Trump continues to focus on Aurora on the campaign trail, with increasing exaggeration.” 9News, [9/24/24]

- Denver Fox station KDVR published an article titled “‘Simply not true’: Aurora leaders dispute claims Venezuelan gang has ‘taken over’ city.” The piece features an interview with Republican City Council member Danielle Jurinsky, who said, “Listen, if the entire city had been taken over, I would have left with my family.” KDVR, [9/12/24]

- A Denver Post article acknowledged that while some gang violence is occuring, Tren de Aragua isn’t “taking over” a city of 400,000.The Post wrote, “Aurora police named the Tren de Aragua members and detailed the charges against them after former President Donald Trump twice mentioned Aurora during Tuesday night's nationally televised debate with Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump falsely claimed that violent immigrants ‘are taking over the towns,’ further fueling a false narrative that members of the Venezuelan gang have overrun Aurora, a city of 400,000 people.” The article also details that while crimes were committed at apartment complexes, “The allegations do not include evidence of broad, organized, systemic gang-led extortion or control at the apartment complexes.” The Denver Post, [9/12/24]

## Despite pushback on the narrative from local officials and residents, right-wing media claimed migrant gangs are “taking over” Aurora

- Newsmax host John Bachman pushed the white nationalist “great replacement” conspiracy theory and claimed “violent gangs are taking over communities” like Aurora. As the viral video of armed men in an apartment complex in Aurora played, Bachman stated, “Illegal migrants are replacing U.S. citizens all over America. Remember when they told you that was a conspiracy theory? Violent gangs are taking over communities.” The white nationalist “great replacement” conspiracy theory claims that nonwhite immigrants are intentionally being brought in to replace white people in the United States and other countries. Newsmax, *Prime News*, [9/24/24; Media Matters, 1/12/24]

- On Glenn Beck’s show, conservative radio host Jason Whitlock claimed there are “Venezuelan gangs taking over neighborhoods and communities.” Whitlock based his claim on the Netflix show Narcos, saying, “I watch it now or I remember it now and think holy cow, we’re just like that. The corruption, the criminals are actually — we’ve got Venezuelan gangs taking over neighborhoods and communities and we have politicians doing nothing about it.” Whitlock also pushed the great replacement conspiracy theory directly, saying that he would use his upcoming show to teach listeners about it. The Blaze,*The Glenn Beck Show,* [9/5/24]

- Previewing an interview with Aurora’s mayor, Newsmax host Lidia Curanaj claimed that a “Venezuelan gang [is] taking over his city.” Over the viral video of armed men in the apartment complex, Curanaj asked viewers, “Does this look like America or an apartment complex in a Third World country?” Newsmax, *Rob Schmitt Tonight*, [8/30/24; NPR, 9/23/24]

- Speaking to Trump adviser Jason Miller, Newsmax co-host Sharla McBride claimed that “Aurora, Colorado, has been overrun with those Venezuelan gangs.”McBride added that “you’re not seeing that with mainstream media, they’re trying to push that under the rug.” Newsmax, *Wake Up America*, [9/19/24]

- On his radio show, Fox prime-time host Sean Hannity explicitly claimed gangs are “taking over cities like Aurora, Colorado.”Hannity claimed, “The fact that Americans are being murdered, raped, victims of violent crime, that we have gangs taking over cities like Aurora, Colorado, like this town in Ohio that we’ve heard so much about.” Premiere Radio Networks, *The Sean Hannity Show*, [9/12/24]

- OutKick founder and host Clay Travis said immigrants, including those in Aurora, were “coming in and taking over these communities.” Travis said his wife asked, “Have you seen what's going on in Springfield, Ohio? Have you seen what's going on in Aurora? Have you seen what's going on all over the country where all of these immigrants are coming in and taking over these communities? You need to do something about it.” Premiere Radio Networks, *The Clay and Buck Show*, [9/10/24]

- Speaking to OutKick’s Buck Sexton, former Fox host Megyn Kelly claimed that Aurora was “overrun” and “overwhelmed” by “these migrants that have been shipped there by the Biden administration.”According to Kelly, “They created a magnet is what they did, Buck. And now the citizens of Aurora, Colorado are overrun, and what's happening in Springfield, Ohio is equally disturbing. We're now spent three days arguing about whether cats are being killed. There are testimonials that they are. The city manager says it's not true.” *The Megyn Kelly Show*, [9/13/23]

- Anti-LGBTQ influencer account “Libs of TikTok” tweeted, “Residents in Aurora, Colorado are being forced to flee their homes as migrant gangs take over the city. Meanwhile the Governor said the gang takeover is in your imagination.” Multiple bomb threats to schools, public libraries, hospitals, and Planet Fitness gyms have previously followed Libs of TikTok's anti-LGBTQ campaign.

badash an 9 24

With less than six weeks until Election Day and early voting already underway in four states, Donald Trump seems to have locked in on his closing message for what he acknowledges will be his final presidential campaign if he loses in November. It’s the same message that launched his political career nine years ago: attacking immigrants.

In a sign anti-immigrant sentiment is the highest it’s been in over two decades, Gallupreports as of June, 55% of Americans want to see immigration decreased. In October of 2001, following the September 11 terror attacks, 58% wanted immigration decreased.

Trump’s anti-immigrant attacks reached a crescendo two weeks ago during the presidential debate against his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris. Seemingly out of nowhere, he dropped his “pet-eating” lie that would lead to dozens of bomb threats across more than 20 facilities in the small town of Springfield, Ohio.

“What they have done to our country by allowing these millions and millions of people to come into our country,” Trump said, attacking Vice President Harris and President Joe Biden. “And look at what’s happening to the towns all over the United States. And a lot of towns don’t want to talk — not going to be Aurora or Springfield. A lot of towns don’t want to talk about it because they’re so embarrassed by it. In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs. The people that came in. They’re eating the cats. They’re eating — they’re eating the pets of the people that live there. And this is what’s happening in our country. And it’s a shame.”

That lie was quickly debunked but Trump and his vice-presidential running mate, U.S. Senator JD Vance, continued to spread it.

This week Trump excised his pet-eating derangement, adding in another element: machine guns.

“We can’t have factories being built where you have criminals walking down the street with the worst weapons that you’ve ever seen, with machine guns and everything else,” Trump declared Tuesday at an event billed as a manufacturing policy speech in which he appeared to come out in favor of an assault weapons ban.

On Wednesday, the ex-president, a convicted felon who legally cannot own even a pistol, standing in front of banner that read “Jobs Jobs Jobs,” expanded his claims at (video below).

“But Kamala should have closed the border years ago, and we wouldn’t have hostile takeovers of Springfield, Ohio, Aurora Colorado, where they’re actually going in with massive machine gun-type equipment. they’re going in with guns that are beyond even military scope, and they’re taking over apartment buildings, they’re taking over, real estate – they’re in the real estate development business. Congratulations,” Trump said sarcastically. “These are, in that case, people from Venezuela. Young street gang members that were sent here by the Venezuelan government.”

Mark Jacob, an author and former Chicago Tribune editor turned media critic, blastedTrump and the mainstream media: “Trump’s lies to foment hatred against immigrants keep getting more vivid and unhinged, and major media are DOING A TERRIBLE JOB of explaining how dangerous this is.”

Luis Moreno, a former U.S. Ambassador to Jamaica, remarked: “Besides eating cats, Haitian immigrants are now deploying crew served laser beam systems. We need to find out who is training these people!”

Trump had made similar, false claims during the debate, saying, “we have millions of people pouring into our country from prisons and jails, from mental institutions and insane asylums. And they’re coming in and they’re taking jobs that are occupied right now by African Americans and Hispanics and also unions. Unions are going to be affected very soon. And you see what’s happening. You see what’s happening with towns throughout the United States. You look at Springfield, Ohio. You look at Aurora in Colorado. They are taking over the towns. They’re taking over buildings. They’re going in violently. These are the people that she and Biden let into our country. And they’re destroying our country. They’re dangerous. They’re at the highest level of criminality. And we have to get them out. We have to get them out fast.”

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/15/us/politics/trump-aurora-colorado-immigration.html

The New York Times reported Trump’s claims of hostile takeovers by Venezuelan gangs appeared to originate from allegations made by a landlord.

“As far back as May 2023, Aurora officials had been trying to force an out-of-state landlord to fix up three blighted apartment complexes,” The Times reported earlier this month. “In July 2024, the landlord, CBZ Management, which says it is based in Colorado and Brooklyn, offered a new argument for why it couldn’t repair the buildings: Venezuelan gangs had taken over, and the property managers had been forced to flee.”

Those claims were quickly repeated, and later, a public relations agent hired by the landlord sent an even more elaborate story to a local Fox affiliate as a “tip.”

On Tuesday a nonprofit representing Haitian immigrants filed criminal charges against Trump and Vance, through its attorney, thanks to Ohio state law that allows private individuals to do so. They have asked a judge to issue an arrest warrant.

Dilapidated apartment complexes in Aurora, Colo., have become a cause célèbre for right-wing media and former President Donald J. Trump, after the landlord claimed a Venezuelan street gang had taken over.

How the False Story of a Gang ‘Takeover’ in Colorado Reached Trump

The claim that Aurora, Colo., has been overrun by gun-toting migrants stemmed from the city’s fight with a landlord. Now it is central to one of former President Donald J. Trump’s anti-immigrant campaign promises.

Sept. 15, 2024

Mike Coffman, the conservative Republican mayor of Aurora, Colo., said he was at home on Tuesday night watching the presidential debate and bracing for the worst.

And then there it was again, before tens of millions of viewers: former President Donald J. Trump, describing Mr. Coffman’s Aurora, a sprawling suburb just east of Denver, as a city under siege, terrorized by migrants.

“They’re taking over buildings,” Mr. Trump said. “They’re going in violently.”

Mr. Coffman was contrite on Thursday as he told that story. After all, he had helped create the tall tale now sullying his city’s reputation.

Before Springfield, Ohio, before the misinformation about devoured pets and the memes of Mr. Trump rescuing ducks and kittens, there was Aurora, pop. 404,219, supposedly overrun by the violent Venezuelan street gang, Tren de Aragua. Those claims became a cause célèbre for the right-wing media, and ultimately a key focus of Mr. Trump’s anti-immigration repertoire as he escalated his attacks on immigrants as part of his campaign’s effort to capitalize on voter concerns about the southern border crisis.

Caught in the middle are a number of migrants, living in dilapidated apartments that Aurora officials now call squalor, amid “criminal elements,” not widespread gang activity, and unable to find or afford better. The buildings are nonetheless at the center of a national firestorm.

“Because of one or two Venezuelans who wanted to do something wrong, we are now all accused of something,” said Yorman Fernandez on Friday. Mr. Fernandez, 29, lives in one of the troubled complexes.
