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.

They think the “DON’T BELIEVE YOUR LYING EYES” defense will still work.
Anyone who lives in Colorado should pack up and leave.
Here is the background and straight skinny on Aurora, which is another Leftist catastrophe.

Liberal leaders are the definition of lunatics running the asylum.
“I still have a hard time understanding what happened to a righteous western state like Colorado.”
Coastal migrants and they’re still pouring in.
Most bass turd politicians are in total denial these days. Worthless human beings.
Exactly...just an idea.
LOL! “schmeckel” is a new one to me. Will need to consult the yiddish dictionary.
I still have a hard time understanding what happened to a righteous western state like Colorado.
Californication.
Folk who fouled their beautiful nest in LaLa land came west looking for another beautiful nest to foul.
And unlike those folk invading from our southern border, those Cali invaders had the money and the political power to do as much damage as the southern invaders.
Legal weed happened to Colorado. Scumbag libertarians and RAT addicts flooded into Denver and thus, the Colorado Project was complete. They controlled the vote. Ditto kalifornia, orygone, washington..
These lefties are not going to change until they feel the pain of a bad decision...good and hard.
This would be a piece of Cake for Charles Bronson.
