Democrats and their allies in the press have been denying there's much of anything to the systemic takeover of apartment buildings by Tren de Aragua illegal migrant gangs in Aurora, Colorado.
Here's the kind of reporting that went on from the Associated Press on Sept. 5:
AURORA, Colo. (AP) — Police in the Denver suburb of Aurora say a Venezuela street gang with a small presence in the city has not taken over a rundown apartment complex — yet the allegation continues to gain steam among conservatives and was amplified by former President Donald Trump in a Wednesday Fox News town hall where he said Venezuelans were “taking over the whole town.”
The unsubstantiated allegation gained momentum following last month’s dissemination of video from a resident in the complex that showed armed men knocking on an apartment door, intensifying fears the Tren de Aragua gang was in control of the six-building complex.
However, city officials indicate the buildings, along with two other apartment complexes, were run down because of neglect by the property manager, CBZ Management.
See, if city officials say it's not happening, then it must be true because the government said so. Government wouldn't have any motives for saying this, everything they say is clean and pure and true.
That's kind of the opposite of what I was taught in journalism school, which was to question every lead, but this is a different era.
Notice also that smear of the apartment management as slumlords, CBZ Management, by these self-same, purely motivated, (and unnamed), government officials.
They weren't slumlords. They were victims of a monstrous crime, and the local government did nothing, other than blame the victim so that the flow of illegals could keep coming.

In San Antonio, TX a complex of almost 700 tenants was taken over by 4 Tren de Aragua members.
Much better just going to the source:
Sounds like rakateering by foreign invaders to me which is about 200 different kinds of crime. Nothing to see here. Just move along.
Thanks , good back up to the Vance-Radditz high profile confrontation yesterday. She needs to be reminded every time she charges into a joust the next three weekends.
They were a reputable apartment management company whose work was restoring old apartment buildings to increase their value for the owners. In 2019, they started renovating the apartment buildings in Aurora. Crime started appearing, and it got bad at the height of the border surge in 2023, when a CBZ employee was asked to inspect a vacated three-bedroom apartment building and found it occupied by a group of gangsters and apparently in a pigpen state. He was offered $500 by the gang to pretend he saw nothing, but refused to take the bribe, prompting the thugs to beat him bloody. The tweet string has a disturbing photo of the man’s bloodied face and body after that encounter. After that, he got texted threats.
Soon, they were finding illegal tenants all over, and suspected it was migrants taking advantage of squatting laws. But actually, when they tried to get rid of them, the migrants claimed to have paid rent — and they did — to Tren de Aragua, which put them there. They called the cops and nobody could or would do a thing. Even a tenant who slipped away on vacation returned to find these migrants living in his home — he had to flee for his life.
Lucky its only a handful right. Waiting for Martha to let us know what the acceptable number is.
We're supposed to go along with 700 Texans from the land of 'every Tom, Dick and Harry' has a gun, allowed 4 wetbacks to waltz in, kick 700 tenants out of their apartments and install their gangmembers in that apartment building? The bovine excrement is getting pretty high with this story.

Maybe the gangs can take over only 1 home in America, and that it could be Martha Radditz 2 million dollar one. It would only be 1.
A real journalist would be interviewing the building owner not fluffing the mayor
These kinds of articles are scaring the testicles off of politicians who prefer to look the other way when it comes to criminal illegal aliens.
Do a search on the internet for Tren de Aragua, San Antonio, Apartment Complex I don’t recall they kicked out tenants, but collected the tenants’ rent money which was over a million dollars monthly.
RADDATZ THINKS THAT IS “JUST A HANDFUL”.
meanwhile, I’m sure the Haitians who have come by 10’s of thousands , don’t include any of the gangs that made Port au Prince unlivable.
Nope. All law abiding. Or so kowmala tells us.
My guess is they were collecting rent from illegals, or other lawbreakers that wanted to keep silent about it.
There are a lot of Quemala voters in San Antonio.
