Aurora mayor wants to set the record straight about gang activity

One day after former President Donald Trump said gangs from Venezuela had taken over Aurora in his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman says it's time to be clear about exactly what is happening in the city he serves.

The Governor and mayor need to let the illegals live with them

[@mostlyends]

Define illegal

[@Aequalis-r6h]

Its easy if your caught being in a gang get deported and or jailed. If your working at 7 eleven or something then your fine to stay.

Why refuse the have police around, dumb, this landlord is hella greedy

[@Aequalis-r6h]

Why did the landlord reject police security? And what is going on with that council woman, corruption to blow this out of proportion, you just deport people who join gangs and do crime.

[@Aequalis-r6h]

Keep Venezuela people who are calm hard working people.

I can’t stand this mayor he’s a liar

[@je862]

I always wondered if, when his generation has died off, will politicians be any better? You know, the younger generation? That question remains to be answered in the coming decades.

[@SpartacusColo]

@@je862 Crystal Murillo is the councilmember for Ward I: she's in her 20's. She isn't doing squat about these immigrants. She voted against the new police chief and is with Polis in calling this issue a "non-issue". Tay Anderson was voted onto the Denver Public Schools' board when he was 19. He overtly defended the policies and situation of the East HS student who shot two administrators and then killed himself while on a daily pat-down protocol. He's now coming to Aurora council meetings to call the council "White Supremacists" and lead the chanting which derails council meetings.

[@je862]

@@SpartacusColo Well, that certainly answers my question. The craziness passes on to the next generations.

[@Aequalis-r6h]

Can't you keep good immigrants and just deport people doing crime or arrest them. Lol sounds simple.

[@jonnee5781]

Dyk he is not there to protect the citizens, his job is just a title and collecting checks. How sad it is nowadays.

[@Desertdragon1]

Isolated? Why the F is it allowed in the first place.

[@professorpauls7362]

exactly, that was my exact thought ! 🤡🌎

[@csmlouis]

Nah, it was an isolated incident similar to the previous nine times.

Vote him out! And investigate his corruption as mayor!!

[@MarkTurner-vs7uc]

He won't tell us what they are paying him.

[@kkbaby30]

Lol, instead of exterminating the gang, the mayor told the apartment residents he doesn't blame them for not paying rent as a form of protest against the TDA gang. He's really doing his job.

[@kaylee4394]

Media stop lying

[@Dfgbuiiyyyybb]

Read between the lines and you’ll see how the narrative changes. 1. Are these people here illegally YES. 2. Are some of them criminals YES. Neither of the above two reasons are acceptable. They’re basically trying to say without saying it out loud that if you want to just show up and stay it’s now acceptable.

[@AGaleonLapuz]

Who are we going to believe? Politicians who told us it was only a stutter or video evidence? And why the hell does the mayor think that since it's only an isolated incidence, it won't ever become a widespread problem in the next 4 years?!?!

[@leonardosonoqui9040]

It's amazing that this very story identifies the gang members while saying there's no problem here. Next year they'll realize that they should have taken a more responsible position.

[@Dean-f8g]

Leave to Crow to be uninformed about Aurora. I guess it is not in California so he would not know anything about it.

[@csmlouis]

ABC fact checker would be like "according to Jared and Mike, there are no Venezuelan gang running the town."

[@Griz79]

Funny how he suddenly changed his tune after filing an emergency court order to shut down apartment complexes controlled by migrant gangs. I guess it’s true that money talks. Wonder how much he was paid?

[@JVPurple]

The DA directly contradicts Coffman and the city council's appointed police chief.

[@chevywengryniuk1153]

You need TRUMP

[@thecustompainter1564]

Of course it’s isolated. FOR NOW. But that’s how they grow unless you do something about it. Don’t get away from the fact they allowed these gangsters into this country and should not have.

[@montanitaplease5715]

The mayor is running around the bush, just be honest and straight forward.

Thank a democrat for this mess.

[@williamhenry9705]

Did you expect the Mayor to admit his failures?

[@tjrez6786]

When he said " thats not the case" you can see by body language hes lying and he knows it

[@scottmmm5275]

The mayor of Aurora is not taking responsibility!

[@donnellaapperson480]

Oh taking over apartment building and you going to call trump a liar because he said the city what the flip os the difference honestly?

[@wim0104]

Take your lying mouth and go talk to that gang. RIP.

[@LuisMartinez-rm9ce]

Those are saying that is not true ,because they are living there for free if they close the building they have to start looking for another one may be far away

[@ralemc1960]

Yes he ran his mouth. He better get in line. We have seen what this administration did to the New Yorks mayor’s mouth. Here comes the FBI.

[@snowlothar45]

An isolated problem is still a problem. The fact is that it is happening and is a problem, means it needs to be addressed. Just because it does not affect you does not meant it should net be a concern. Colorado and Denver is turning into a lost cause just like Oregon and Portland.

The citizens of Aurora disagree I've seen the testimonials from citizens

[@jamesbriscoe1146]

To late mayor, you let the missile out of the silo, you knew what you were doing!!! You should be investigated for terrorism!!

[@SammyJam-w7d]

Grossly exaggerated? I bet you would never live there.

[@lavenberry]

So there was some truth to what was being said. And the counter argument is that one is either racist or stoking immigrant hatred. But if it's true that illegal or legal Venezuelans gangs were terrorizing residents, then how is that racist? Truth be told, these people weren't properly vetted.

[@chrisanddeinnasadventures7857]

Isolated or not it’s still a big problem and only going to get worse.

[@avi8terrfwg317]

This didn't age well.

[@SpartacusColo]

Crow wants them here. He's on Blue Team. What's his comment on ten arrested gangsters? What's his comment on residents in the area of these apartments citing incidents of police taking hours to respond to emergencies? Are you guys even pressing him on these things? Or just getting a few minutes of him blowing smoke up our backsides and calling it good?

[@mdavis3262]

Its only going to get worst…they aren’t even willing to admit they have a problem….if they dont believe there us a problem, they wont make an attempt to fix it

So y’all tryn to say all is good well why have so many of them been arrested isolated for who the poor so it’s not really a thing y’all on some b,s

[@dianaguenzler2897]

Get them out of our State, city and homes. I don't care if there "isolated". This shouldn't be happening at all! Guess we get who we voted for. Coloradians will have to be diligent in doing their reasurch on who we put in office.

No! These are more than just local gangs! This is organized from an international South American criminal ring that has a history of sex trafficking of their own women and extortion which we have all witnessed!
