“Polis dismissed anger over Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua taking over apartment buildings in the Denver suburb of Aurora, calling it ‘imagination’.” I blogged about the violent Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang taking over an apartment complex in Aurora, Co.

He will likely issue a disapproving statement and let this continue.” I was wrong, though he may yet get there. As of now, he is dismissing the video evidence...
