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.

> Who asked Venezuela if they are or are not accepting deportations? <

If Venezuela will not accept deportations, the illegals would have to be forcibly landed on a Venezuelan beach. I don’t think even Trump had the boldness required to do that.

So what’s the solution? It would have to be some sort of bribery. Bribe Venezuela to take them back. And/or pay the illegals to voluntarily return.

Plus build the wall. Nothing else matters if there is no wall.

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

Parachute? Why go to that extra expense?

Another Biden/Harris success story. If the Deep State lets her hide and gets her elected then kiss this Republic goodbye.

So what’s the solution?

Box cars back to Mexico. Mexico allowed these Venezuelans in their country to head to our country. So dump them in Mexico and them deal with it.

A system like ours, where justice is perverted, denied and often awarded to the criminals, vigilantism is a natural byproduct.

The only ones who didn’t know this was coming is the GOP-e.
Why else are the RATS fighting to confiscate firearms....
To keep Americans from fighting back.

How it’s suppose to work is the men of Aurora hunt these dirty beaners down and put their heads on pikes in the town square.

Yeah, it’s Denver-adjacent. I did my AF tech school in Aurora.

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

Get an Air Force Transport plane. Hook ‘em up to parachutes. Fly over Venezuela. Open the doors. Tell each man before he is pushed out the door that if you come back to the U.S., you will not get a parachute the next time.
