New York Times admits migrant 'conspiracy theory' it scolded Donald Trump for is TRUE
Daily Mail UK ^ | July 11, 2025 | Will Potter

Donald Trump has been vindicated after The New York Times accused him of pushing a false conspiracy theory about a migrant gang taking over a Colorado apartment building... only for the paper to now admit those same claims were true.

One article published last September scolded Trump for his 'false' claims that Aurora was overrun with Tren de Aragua goons.

But a recent investigation published by the esteemed paper now concedes the Denver suburb is indeed a hotspot for the Venezuelan gangsters.

The controversy took on national prominence during the presidential election as Donald Trump often cited it during rallies as evidence of what former President Biden's weak border controls had wrought on the United States.

In September, shortly after Trump railed against the issue in his debate against Kamala Harris, the Times shared a story headlined: 'How the False Story of a Gang ‘Takeover’ in Colorado Reached Trump.'

Slamming 'the fear-mongering, exaggerations and outright lies' from the Trump campaign over the issue, the rise of the gangs was described as having 'taken on a life of its own.'

The outlet wrote that Mike Coffman, the conservative Republican mayor of Aurora, was stunned to see Trump slam his city on the national debate stage, saying he felt guilty.

'After all, he had helped create the tall tale now sullying his city’s reputation,' the Times wrote.

But that 'tall tale' is now true, according to the same outlet, which ran a story last week titled: 'Democrats Denied This City Had a Gang Problem. The Truth Is Complicated.'

Despite previously describing the issue as a conspiracy theory only found in the right-wing, the Times' latest article now condemns 'Democrat politicians' for suggesting Aurora residents and conservatives were merely 'crying wolf.'

There was an early raid here, but apparently that raid was incomplete? I wonder why ICE (et al) hasn't continued to prioritize this?

Just one more lie that the NYT admits to, let alone the others that it doesn’t admit to. The NYT went from a respected newspaper to one that’s not fit to line the bottom of a bird cage. It’s fallen from a newspaper to a Leftist newsletter.

I guess so many of the big stories are so important that no one has time to first check the facts or to even find out if there is any truth to them.

Sadly, I don’t think “truth” matters any more. Years ago it was all a bout selling newspapers. Today ALL that matters is “clicks” and “likes.”

TRUTH, has become inconvenient!!

That’s cute, a trash British “news” outlet calling another trash “news” outlet “esteemed”.

This is just plan sad. Not about the criminal illegal aliens. no it’s sad that the NYT still thinks that anyone believes a thing they say or print with out third and fourth party verification.
