Aurora, CO

Aurora, Colo. -- Angry Aurorans on social media poked fun at the local news media Friday as more information came out about Venezuelan gangs on the Front Range. Mike Coffman, Aurora mayor, posted on Facebook that the city will use court orders to shut down additional apartment complexes that have been infiltrated by the gangs. It contradicted comments made by Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, who told the New York Post the gang problem was a figment of Aurora council member Danielle Jurinsky’s imagination.

The Venezuelans living in Aurora apartment buildings facing condemnation were not put there by the city of Denver. Denver city spokesman Jon Ewing said none of the residents are part of the Denver Asylum Seekers Program, or DASP.
