It looks as though Tren de Aragua intended for the property to be a steady source of future revenue… trafficking and prostituting children, running guns, and extorting residents.
Since all eyes have been on Aurora, Colorado and the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang terrorizing the apartment complexes, one of the property lenders hired international law firm Perkins Coie to conduct an investigation into what is really going on, and what these lawyers found is nothing short of heinous. From an article out at The Denver Gazette:
Through violence and intimidation, a Venezuelan gang took over the Whispering Pines apartment complex in Aurora and sought to collect up to half of the rent from leaseholders, drying up collections for the landlord, according to a law firm’s investigation.
At the behest of a lender, the international law firm Perkins Coie investigated the alleged criminal activities at Whispering Pines apartments, a 54-unit complex in Aurora, and outlined an operation that included establishing a ‘lower-level’ presence last year, which then escalated into violence and intimidation, the apparent goal of which was to turn the complex into a steady source of income for the gang.
The law firm said once the gang was entrenched at the complex, it used the units for illegal activities, including the prostitution of minors.
The gang, the law firm added, ‘operated in the open,’ patrolled the area and ‘terrorized the community.’
So what did that “lower-level” presence in Whispering Pines look like? Well, according to the same report, gang members issued death threats and menaced the property manager so badly, he later fled; at this point, they told the property’s employees that they were now “working for” TdA. Here’s more, regarding the specifics:

Send in the pencil pushers and the social workers to make sure everything is up to code and everyone’s feelings are being considered. Make sure the gang is trans friendly and the non binaries are well represented.
That is who law enforcement (not sure if we can call them that any more) will go after, not the gangs. Then again, crap like this is how the mafia started in Sicily.
“I’m very surprised that we haven’t seen vigilante committees..”
They’d be fighting the gangs, police, and FBI.
2024 is the year the cats choose our elected officials.
Why are Harris and Brandon not yet charged with treason for refusing to uphold the laws of the US?
They make great money...from the thread cited above....
“They went from $25,000 in revenue in 2018 to $4.2 million in 2022. Imagine what their 2024 numbers look like.
They give out cash assistance, free legal services, and even operate a “Black Immigrant Bail Fund”.

MOST LIKELY.....I GIVE THEM NO MONEY !
OMG!
Why would they hire hillary’s lawyers except to cover up the problem.
What gang? The lying Colorado governor claims that there’s no evidence of a gang. And, of course, since he’s a DemocRAT, we all believe him (not). Rolly-polly Polis, Mr nothing who loves to pretend that he’s something.
“It’s not a gang, it’s a club, mang!”
Just to clarify, this NGO making millions after starting with $25,0000 is the Haitian Bridge Alliance.
At the behest of the lender, the international law firm, “Perkins Coie” investigated the alleged criminal activities of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang at Whispering Pines apartments, a 54-unit complex in Aurora, Colorado.
The Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang’s operation included
<><>first establishing a ‘lower-level’ presence last year,
<><>which they then escalated into violence and intimidation,
<><>the apparent goal was to turn the apt complex into a steady source of income for the gang.
Perkins Coie, the law firm hired by the lender to look into the Venzuelan violence wrote on Aug. 9:
<><>the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang members issued death threats
<><>Tren de Aragua menaced the property manager so badly, he later fled;
<><>Tren de Aragua told the property’s employees that they were now “working for” TdA.
Here’s more, regarding the gang’s activities:
<><>The gang members engaged in flagrant crimes
<><>trespass violations, assaults and battery,
<><>human trafficking and sexual abuse of minors,
<><>unlawful firearms possession, extortion, and other criminal activities,
<><>the gang targeted other immigrant populations.
<><>The gang’s calculated MO was to unlawfully moved gang members into vacant units.
<><>the Venezuelans forced out rent-paying residents to create more open units for themselves
<><>they used the apartments for illegal activities such as prostitution.
<><>the gang used threats of violence to extort the property manager
<><>the gang demanded some 50% of all rental income.
Now, when the first video of the heavily armed Venezuelans breaking into apts went viral, the state’s governor, Jared Polis stupidly attempted to gaslight Americans, arguing that what they were seeing was all just a figment of an overactive “imagination.”
The tale of Venezuelan murder, mayhem. chaos, and madness in suburban Colorado.
<><>Biden signs the 2021 American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) into law,
<><>he handed over $3.8 billion tax dollars to Colorado.
<><>“the welcoming city of Denver,” launched its “Emergency Migrant Response” program,
<><>Denver’s goal was to provide housing and services to a massive flow of migrants.
<><>Denver signed multimillion-dollar contracts with local NGOs, ViVe Wellness and Papagayo,
<><>housing and services went to more than 8,000 predominantly Venezuelan migrants.
<><>The NGOs are run by foreigners w/ no previous experience in large-scale migrant resettlement.
<><>flooded with cash between 2023-2024, ViVe Wellness and Papagayo got $4.8M and $774,000
<><>funding came mostly from the Migrant Support Grant, funded by Biden’s ARPA.
<><>Then, in 2024, ViVe secured an extra $10.4 million across three migrant contracts,
<><>Papagayo received $2.9 million more from a single contract;
<><>monies ran “Denver Asylum Seekers Program,” six months rental to some 1,000 migrants
<><>Papagayo worked w/ CBZ Management,
<><>CBZ is a property company that operates three apt bldngs known as Aspen Grove.
<><>Papagayo placed Venezuelan migrants in the company’s Aurora apt complexes.
<><>When Venezuelans needed housing, regional property manager matched them w/ available apts.
<><>It was a booming business
<><>Papagayo arranged 100’s of contracts for two months of rental assistance,
<><>many migrants did not have, or were unable to open, bank accounts.
<><>in six months, approximately 80% of the residents were Venezuelan migrants.
<><>the buildings saw rising gang activity and violence.
<><>Papagayo made assurances to hesitant landlords that migrants had stable jobs and income.
<><>but limited English, 6-month wait for work permits, made migrants ineligible for jobs,
<><>migrants struggled to find stable jobs, and ultimately fell behind on rent.
<><>As the Venezuelan migrants settled in, they caused lots of trouble.
<><>the apartments saw a string of crimes,
<><>trespassing, assault, extortion, drug use, illegal firearm possession,
<><>human trafficking, and sexual abuse of minors abounded.
<><>Each of the three complexes has since shown a localized spike in crime.
<><>there’s shock at tax dollars blanketing an NGO not equipped to handle it.
The City of Denver, for its part, appears to be charging ahead. It recently voted to provide additional funding for migrant programs and, according to the right-leaning Common Sense Institute, the total cost to Denver could be up to $340 million, factoring in new burdens on schools and the health-care system. And the city also appears to have no qualms about exporting the crisis to the surrounding suburbs, including Aurora, which, in 2017, had declared itself a non-sanctuary city.
The truth is that there is no sanctuary for a city, a county, or a country that welcomes—and, in fact, attracts—violent gang members from Venezuela. This is cruelty, not compassion. Unfortunately, it might take more than the seizure of an apartment building, a dramatic rise in crime, and a grisly murder for cities like Denver to change course.
Nobody ever thought about shooting these assholes?
Unsettling like the Mayor, Police chief and governor lied?
Members
Law firm? How about some good old vigilantly justice .
