Colorado Gov. Jared Polis dismisses migrant gang takeover of apartments as ‘imagination’ — despite video, mayor confirming truth
NY Post ^ | 8/29/24 | Jennie Taer

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.”

Wieman added that “it’s illegal to take over buildings in Colorado” and if Jurinsky has “knowledge” of such activity that the governor’s office is “ready to assist” cops “in taking them back.”

“Violent crime dropped in Aurora between 2022 and 2023,” said Wieman.

Despite the governor’s claims, however, the evidence is clear.

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.

Tren de Aragua is an idea, not an organization.

Polis reeks of faggotry — which is itself a mental illness.

No surprise that he cannot process factual information.

Unfortunately, the same must be true of Colorado voters, because they keep electing this decayed piece of sh!t to rule over them.

While I think he does have mental illness, his mind is clear as he rubs his hands. He has CHOSEN to lie to you, if you NOSE what I am talking about.

And the FBi said Antifa doesn’t exist.

Jerry Nadler and Dems said Antifa violence is a myth. Never happened.

Everyone’s eyes are lying to them...

Unfortunately, when a communist is caught in a lie, their credibility within both the party and the peasantry is enhanced...

"Polis reeks of faggotry — which is itself a mental illness."

You just won Groucho Marx's You Bet Your Life's secret word contest: faggotry. He's married to a man.

I think we have to start thinking about this type of situation differently, Polis can process factual information, he knows the gang has taken over the apartment complex, he doesn’t care .

It’s like this all over the Western World, Kier Starmer knows what’s going on in the UK, he doesn’t care, same for all the other EU countries being flooded by invaders from 3rd world hell holes.

Until these 3rd world invaders start inflicting pain and violence onto the crowd Polis runs around with, nothing will happen, right now the current situation does not affect the liberals that run the major cities and blue states.

The other obvious reason they know and don’t care is importing voters, the current crop of voters isn’t sufficiently indoctrinated in the liberal orthodoxy but importing 3rd world leaches who don’t vote but will be registered to vote and that’s all that matters.

Good points. I’m not sure where they lead, but you raise good points nevertheless.

Plus, think about what Polis would have to do to get rid of this gang, the cost politically is not something he wants to do.

The gang appears to be armed to the teeth, they would probably fight it out if some type of opposing force showed up.

The local police are not going to touch the situation until the mayor or governor step up and tell them to remove this gang, the police are not going to use force otherwise.

IMO, it would take an all-out assault to remove this gang which would involve a bunch of people likely getting shot including police and gang members the violence afterwards from BLM, Antifa, etc., would be far more than that Polis wants to deal with.

As long as this gang terrorizes people Polis doesn’t care about, they will have free reign to pillage the local population.
