Although CBS included the angle that “dozens of low-income families [will be] soon without a home,” which is unfortunate, their plight began in their corrupt country of Venezuela, where the sinister Maduro regime exploited them. Then they decided to break American law and jump the queue for a better life, while criminal gangs, drug cartels and jihadists had the same idea: to illegally enter American borders. Another corrupt regime, the Biden administration, let them in by the droves for their votes. And the American people suffered and continue to suffer the economic consequences, as well as a threat to their safety and national security. Few in the media interview the victims of murder, maiming, human trafficking and other crime that has increased as a result of irresponsible migration policies.
City officials in Aurora, Colorado were left with no choice, and “other properties in similar situations” are “also being impacted by [migrant] gang presence.”
“Colorado City Closes Migrant Apartment Block amid Gang Crime, Squalor,” by Neil Munro, Breitbart, August 16, 2024:
City officials in Aurora, Colorado, are closing down a large apartment building today amid rival claims about landlord abuse and a hostile takeover by Venezuala’s Tren de Aragua migrant street gang.
“Tren de Aragua taking over properties and communities in Aurora means that we are not able to be present on this property, or any of our other properties in similar situations, also being impacted by [migrant] gang presence,” said a statement to Breitbart News by an “investor for multiple affected properties in Aurora.” The statement was provided by a spokesman for the Florida-based landlord, CBZ Management.
The owners are “out-of-town slum lords,” Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman responded via 9News.com on August 8:
That building has been a problem for years, mountains of garbage, rats, sewage, no electricity …. We’ve been working with this building and its owners for a very long time. I mean, I they’re they’re out-of-state slumlords, and they haven’t maintained the building….
Rick Gordon says
Where is the state of Colorado? Does the governor and legislature understand what they are doing to it’s citizens?
Istanbul_Chick says
They understand completely well and continue to do it. Libs will keep voting for the same bad actors and policies.

My brother lives in Aurora, not far from that apartment building. It was squalid even back in the 70s, but these gang members are the worst it’s been.
somehistory says
“slum lords” are the kind who **could** fix up the buildings, but don’t want to as it takes money from their pockets.
If gangs have taken over, how does that make the owners true “slum lords”?
The police are the ones who are supposed to control the gangs. If they aren’t, then it can’t be left solely to the landlords to keep things as they should be.
One only has to look at all of the hotels which have been taken over by governments for illegals to stay and soon, these former *nice* places are slums.
Troybeam says
Close the apartment so what as the crime lords will just move to another place, only one way to stop the violence but hey liberal government people are chicken sh*t to do anything.

I dont see the point in fixing up buildings in democrat run areas when it is so much easier to do things this way.

Always try to avoid democrat run war zones.

Since Colorado is this nation’s drug state, can’t this be resolved by getting tons of their favorite narcotic to them, laced w/ enough fentanyl? That should solve this problem easily even for the City Hall in Aurora

Life is hard and when there is no law and order it is down right dangerous. We need a justice system that has some teeth and punishes those who break the laws. Bring back the chain gangs and hard work in our prisons and jails. Make criminals pay for their own up keep instead of the tattoo parlor and workout gyms we provide now.
