Suburbs Enjoy Results Of Big City Sanctuary Policies Firsthand

Everyone pays the price of unfettered illegal immigration, where the Government barely checks the background of those it lets in while awaiting “asylum” hearings. If they check at all. The suburbs of Sanctuary City Denver are truly learning this firsthand

Sanctuary city’s policies push violent migrant gang into suburbs: ‘It’s a nationwide problem’

Although Denver’s suburbs don’t share its sanctuary city policies, the influx of migrants into the Mile High City has spilled outward. Now, its neighbors are facing an unprecedented wave of activity from a notorious Venezuelan prison gang.

Officials from Aurora, about nine miles east of Denver, told Fox News Digital the Tren de Aragua gang has gained a strong foothold in their city, commandeering apartment complexes and drumming up violent crime and sex trafficking.

“We currently have entire complexes under gang control — complexes where staff have been beaten up, they’ve been threatened, their families have been threatened [and] complexes where there are no staff left on the property,” Aurora City Council Member Danielle Jurinsky said. “These complexes are being run by this Tren de Aragua gang.

“They start brokering apartments themselves when someone leaves out of fear or whatever. They go in and take pictures of the apartment themselves. Then, I’ve been told, within hours, a Venezuelan family moves in.

“Parts of the city are absolutely under this gang control. The local media is downplaying this,” she said. “I believe politics is being played with people’s lives. … Nothing is being done to help the American citizens that are being trapped under this gang’s control.”

It’s a gang. They are gang members. How did so many end up in the U.S.? Were they border crossers who were not vetted because the authorities were over-burdened by too many coming, or, did the Biden-Harris administration fly them, as they’ve flown so many others? Or both? How much bad behavior must US Citizens put up with because Democrats are pro-illegal and refuse to verify who the illegals actually are?

Suspected members of Tren de Aragua are accused of a series of high-profile crimes across the United States, including the murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley and the shooting of two NYPD officers during an arrest in June.

Its leaders recently gave the “green light” for its members nationwide to shoot members of law enforcement who attempt to interfere with their criminal activity – even in Denver.

This can be laid directly at the feet of the Biden-Harris administration.

Jhonardy Jose Pacheco-Chirino, a Tren de Aragua leader who goes by “Galleta,” the Spanish word for “Cookie,” was arrested after brutally beating a man at an Aurora apartment complex that the gang had taken over, according to the New York Post. He was arrested again in July in a shooting at the same complex that left two wounded, the outlet reported.

Pacheco-Chirino has reportedly been detained and released at least twice since crossing the southern border in 2022, Homeland Security sources told the Post.

We have a law about illegal alien absconders, which says they should either be immediately put back across the border or detained and jailed. It is a criminal offense to re-enter the U.S. after being deported. What, exactly, is the Biden-Harris administration doing? Too bad the Aurora authorities can’t round them up and put them on a bus, dropping them off outside the White House.

But attempts to control the influx have been crippled by Colorado state law HB19-1124, passed in 2019, that prohibits municipalities from communicating directly with federal government immigration enforcement.

As a result, Douglas and five other Colorado counties have banded together to sue the state, arguing the law violates the U.S. Supremacy Clause, which bars states from violating federal law, and the Intergovernmental Relationships Provision of Colorado’s constitution, which forbids laws that prevent local governments from cooperating/contracting with the federal government.

There’s a price for voting Democrat, and the problems in Democrat sanctuary cities and states leaks out.
