Kellner said there are multiple cases open for charges of home invasion, burglary and theft as police and law enforcement focus on rooting out the gangs before the problem gets worse.
Recent viral video shows several armed men in an Aurora, Colorado, apartment that some say has been taken over by members of Tren de Aragua, a notorious Venezuelan gang.
“I’ve heard criticism from some folks saying things like ‘This is imaginary,'” Kellner continued. “I can tell you the people in this apartment complex, the people of aura, it’s not imaginary.

“This is a real example of how cities across the country that are extremely far away from our border are dealing with the impacts of a failed border policy.”
The district attorney pointed to previous initiatives combating members of the Mexican gang MS-13 that attempted to plant roots in the city.

“We indicted over a dozen members of that gang, prosecuted them for multiple murders, multiple shootings, violent crimes, and several of them are spending the next few decades looking back on their life choices in prison and regretting them,” Kellner said. “And some of them are spending the rest of their lives in prison in Colorado.”
