Governor Jared Polis denies responsibility for Tren de Aragua takeover of Aurora, Colo. apartment buildings

Migrant gangs are turning Aurora, Colo., apartment complexes into hellholes, and the Democratic governor is turning a blind eye.

It’s an unhappy consequence of being a suburb of sanctuary-city Denver: Venezuelan migrants have spread from the Mile High City, with allegedly gang-affiliated ones claiming apartment buildings as their turf, terrorizing residents.

One chilling video shows suspected Tren de Aragua members stalking through the complex with guns.

Another, from the same complex, shows two men breaking into a unit with a tire iron.

Mayor Mike Coffman confirmed that at least two buildings have been taken over, calling it an “organized criminal effort,” and adding, “I think we’re the victim of a failed policy at the southern border.”

City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky has warned: “I worry about everything that I know regarding this gang. And I worry about everything that I don’t know.”

But despite the mountains of evidence, Gov. Jared Polis (D.) is flat-out denying that it’s happening.

On Wednesday, his office called the invasion “a feature of Danielle Jurinsky’s imagination” and sneered that Polis “really hopes that the city council members in charge stop trashing their own city when they are supposed to keep it safe.”

This is gaslighting at its worst.

Was it Jurinsky’s “imagination” when local ringleader Jhonardy Jose Pacheco-Chirino and some of his thugs reportedly beat a man at one of these complexes? Or when he was involved in a shooting that wounded two men at the same complex?

Was it her imagination that prompted one apartment-dweller to tell Fox31 Denver, “It’s been a nightmare and I can’t wait to get out of here”?
