The March of the Venezuelan Gangs, By Charles Taylor (Florida)
There has been concerning news of the Venezuelan crime gang, Tren de Aragua taking over an Aurora apartment building, the Whispering Pines Apartments. There was video posted on social media showing alleged gang members entering the building armed with "weapons of war," as the liberal gun banners like to call them. The gang presumably would then take over rents, but much more likely, turn the entire building into a crime den for drugs and prostitution. And it seems that the authorities were denying that this event even happened as part of their damage control, since police were probably too scared to go up against the gun fire of the gang. Or, perhaps it was all a bad advert for mass immigration which produced the problem in the first place.
In any case, according to a letter sent to Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman, Aurora City Manager Jason Batchelor, and the interim police chief, that was obtained by CBS News Colorado, the gang had moved to take over the apartment in 2023. A law firm who conducted findings concluded: "The evidence we have reviewed indicates that gang members are engaging in flagrant trespass violations, assaults and battery, human trafficking and sexual abuse of minors, unlawful firearms possession, extortion, and other criminal activities, often targeting vulnerable Venezuelan and other immigrant populations." Violent assaults, threats of murder, extortion, strongarm tactics, and child prostitution, all occurred without the authorities calling out the forces to deal with it, including the national guard if necessary. In short, the state surrendered to the power of the warlord gang bangers. It is the shape of The Camp of the Saints things to come, that being the classic immigration invasion novel.
This is significant for all those concerned about mass immigration, which is so non-discriminatory now that it brings in criminal elements, who over time organise into a major force, as this present example illustrates. It could be stopped, but the present regimes across the West want the populations to be in fear, as well illustrated by the UK crackdowns, where prisons are being filled with protesters, while violent criminals are being let free to roam the streets. So much for the rule of law, which is slowly disintegrating over the multicult West, as part of the plan to remake the world as a communist multicult technocratic dictatorship.
"A Denver law firm, hired to look into an alleged gang takeover of an Aurora apartment building, says they found the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang began taking over the Whispering Pines Apartments in late 2023. Since then, the gang has engaged in violent assaults, threats of murder, extortion, strongarm tactics, and child prostitution as they have exerted a "stranglehold" on the Aurora apartment complex. That's according to a letter sent to Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman, Aurora City Manager Jason Batchelor, and the interim police chief that was obtained by CBS News Colorado.
Each page of the nine-page report was labeled "CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED." The Perkins Coie law firm shared its findings on Aug. 9 with Aurora's top administrators.
"The evidence we have reviewed indicates that gang members are engaging in flagrant trespass violations, assaults and battery, human trafficking and sexual abuse of minors, unlawful firearms possession, extortion, and other criminal activities, often targeting vulnerable Venezuelan and other immigrant populations," wrote T. Markus Funk, a former U.S. Attorney.
Funk did not respond to emails and phone calls from CBS News Colorado and a second associate at the law firm also did not respond to inquiries from CBS News Colorado.
The firm says it represents the lender for Whispering Pines Apartments, 1357 Helena Street, one of several Aurora apartment buildings allegedly controlled by the Tren de Aragua gang. The law firm says it interviewed witnesses and reviewed video from the Whispering Pines for its investigation.
The letter marks the first time specific details and incidents have been revealed about how the gang allegedly took over the apartments and how they have been operating.
"Tren de Aragua has threatened to kill (and, in certain instances, has apparently actively attempted to kill) members of Whispering Pines management..." according to the report.
Investigators interviewed the property manager who had 15 years of experience in the industry. The property manager said, "He had never seen anything remotely like the Tren de Aragua takeover of Whispering Pines in his entire career." Whispering Pines consists of 54 apartments with rent ranging from $1450 to $2000 per month. According to the report, tenants are generally working-class Hispanic families with children.
The property manager told the law firm that he started his job in January 2024, but that TdA had already been establishing a presence at the apartments before his employment. In November 2023, the report states a consultant for the property management company was "so severely beaten and stomped by gang members that he had to go to the hospital." The report says the beating was unprovoked.
"The gang activity at Whispering Pines escalated in 2024," according to the document obtained by CBS News Colorado. In April 2024, a housekeeper called the property manager "informing him that two individuals at the property went into an apartment, came out with large firearms, and were coming to kill him (the property manager)." The individuals were apparently past due on rent.
The property manager said, "that the two individuals were arrested as they were coming to kill him." The report says the men, who were armed with "large firearms," were gang members.
The property manager went on to say that "gang members allegedly stabbed a Whispering Pines resident for refusing to pay "rent" to the gang. Since then, the property has recorded footage of gang members knocking on doors and, without authorization or any other justification, attempting to collect rent from the tenants of Whispering Pines..."
In June, the report says suspected gang members approached the property manager and offered to help the manager "if he agreed to pay the gang 50% of everything the property management company collected in rent."
The investigators who authored the report called this an "organized crime tactic." They said gang members then said they were taking over vacant units at Whispering Pines and would start collecting rent from tenants. "This is our business plan," one gang member told a housekeeper. "If he (property manager) doesn't like it, we'll fill him with bullets."
