A Violent Venezuelan Prison Gang Has Taken Over This Colorado City — Aurora
Townhall ^ | 08/27/2024 | Madeline Leesman

A violent Venezuelan prison gang known as Tren de Aragua has spilled into Aurora, Colorado, despite the fact that the city wanted “no part” in welcoming so-called “asylum seekers” as a result of President Joe Biden’s open border policies.

According to a report from the New York Post, Aurora has a population of 390,000 residents. Now, it’s become the base of operations for the gang, which has seized apartment complexes and instigated a crime wave.

In February, the Aurora City Council reportedly passed a resolution 7-3 stating that it will not provide resources for illegal immigrants brought into the town from neighboring cities, notably, Denver.

“We will not be aiding into this migrant crisis,” city council member Danielle Jurinsky said in an interview at the time.

However, many gang members have trickled into the city and wreaked havoc.

One local gang leader, Jhonardy Jose Pacheco-Chirino, who decided to stay in Aurora goes by “Galleta.” Within months of coming to the states, Pacheco-Chirino and other gang members beat up a man at an apartment complex that the gang took over. In July, Pacheco-Chirino was arrested for a shooting that wounded two people.

Pacheco-Chirino reportedly crossed the southern border in 2022 into Texas. He was released into the states by federal authorities after he said he was going to New York. However, he ended up at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office in Colorado in June 2023, where he was given a court date and released.

Pacheco-Chirino and other men who said they were “part of a gang that steals from Walmart” brutally assaulted a man in a now-defunct apartment complex. They allegedly hit the victim in the head and beat him up as he fell to the ground. The victim reportedly suffered a traumatic brain injury, a broken nose and a broken upper jaw.

In addition, the gang members began terrorizing apartment staff who were forced to flee the properties.

An apartment investor told the Post that they’ve “lost control” of several properties because the gang has taken over the units.

“They were first hanging out around the property and creating a bad element that’s constantly there. And then they started taking over, quite a few months ago, they started taking over vacant units,” they said.

In March 2024, Pacheco-Chirino was “nabbed” and faced several felony assault charges. He bailed out of custody and did not show up to his court date.

On July 28, police arrested Pacheco-Chirino and three others for a shooting at the same apartment complex where the assault occurred. He was then turned over to ICE.

Last week, Pacheco-Chirino was reportedly ordered deported by an immigration judge. However, Venezuela is not accepting deportations from the U.S.

This month, the Aurora Police Department announced that it formed a task force with Colorado State Patrol and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation to handle the gang’s threats.

“APD will not tolerate violent crime in our communities,” Aurora police reportedly said.

Illegal immigrant crime in this region is nothing new. Last month, Townhall covered how two Denver councilmembers acknowledged that the influx of illegal immigration into the city over the past 18 months has contributed to the uptick in crime in certain areas.

In addition, the residents of Lakewood, Colorado urged their city council to not also covered.

In Denver, officials began limiting the number of days illegals could stay in its shelters.

Last month, a bulletin from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) warned border agents and other law enforcement agencies of a threat posed by Tren De Aragua. The gang gave an apparent "green light" to its members who have infiltrated the United States to shoot American law enforcement.

But don’t these people enlighten us by bringing their custom, traditions, and language here? Just don’t mention some of their customs are giving you a “Columbian necktie” if you look at them funny. Oh, and let’s give them 30k to buy a new home like Gov. Nosense wants to do.

Gang members should just be taken out and shot. Leave their bodies for the birds. They want to be violent in life, they don’t deserve mercy in death.

Out of curiosity, I looked it up. The mayor of Aurora, Colorado is a Republican. So this could be a case of a Republican town being savaged by Colorado’s overall Democrat insanity.

However, Venezuela is not accepting deportations from the U.S.

———————————————

This sentence made me laugh. Who asked Venezuela if they are or are not accepting deportations?

We didn’t ask them to send us importations.

If the authorities made it known that the death of gang-members would not be investigated, the problem might start to be solved.

The bimbos and pretentious 'men' of the New York Times will NOT give a damn about this story... anyone wonder why?

My thoughts exactly. Give the gangster a parachute and a push over Caracas.

I was afraid that would happen. Stay out of Lakewood if you want to avoid “not also covered.” Coming to a city near you.
