JD Vance sends message to Harris amidst migrant gang takeover of Colorado apartments: "The American people are being harmed."

JD Vance, the vice presidential candidate, stated that it is necessary to put an end to the sanctuary cities practice, as Aurora, Colorado is currently facing crime issues related to a Venezuelan gang.

"Allowing drug cartels to operate within our communities has resulted in suffering for Americans, as Kamala Harris has failed to secure our borders," Vance stated on "Fox & Friends" on Friday.

Vance is advocating for the abolition of sanctuary cities and states following reports of migrant gangs seizing control of an apartment complex near Denver.

"To remove illegal immigrants from our country, you must work with local and federal law enforcement if they are present in your communities."

Vance stated that it should be illegal and we must be prepared to utilize the federal government's funds.

"If a city refuses to cooperate with deporting violent criminals, then we must consider reducing the amount of funding we provide to that city. Sanctuary cities are detrimental to communities, as they make them poorer and less safe."

Vance was critical of Kamala Harris's performance as vice president during the ongoing border crisis.

"Local governments are being destroyed because they're paying for Kamala Harris' open border policy."

The Tren de Aragua gang is being aggressively prosecuted by authorities, with a multi-agency task force currently investigating the gang, according to District Attorney John Kellner of Arapahoe County, Colorado.

In the past, the DA has held similar criminals accountable, and they are reassuring citizens that they will do the same now.

"In recent years, MS-13, another transnational gang, attempted to establish a presence in our community. We indicted and aggressively prosecuted over a dozen members of that gang for multiple murders, multiple shootings, and violent crimes. Several of them are now likely to spend the next few decades in prison, reflecting on their life choices and regretting them."

Kellner stated that the police are actively working to identify the individuals who have taken over the apartment complex and committed other suspected crimes.

Kellner stated that the situation in Aurora is real and not imaginary or misinformation, after the governor downplayed it.

Cities across the country, despite being far away from the border, are facing the consequences of a failed border policy. A porous southern border, Kellner stated.

Despite evidence, Democrat Governor Jared Polis dismissed criticism over a video showing armed Venezuelan gang members in an apartment building as "imagination." In a statement to the New York Post, Polis' spokeswoman Shelby Wieman announced that the state is prepared to assist the local police department with state troopers and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation if needed.

According to Wieman, police intelligence suggests that the alleged invasion is largely a product of Danielle Jurinsky's imagination.

Danielle Jurinsky, an Aurora City Council member, expressed her disappointment following the governor's rejection.

Governor Polis hopes that the city council members responsible for the city's safety stop criticizing it.

Since 2022, Denver has received over 42,000 migrants, resulting in a cost of more than $72 million to the sanctuary city, according to city data.

The Treasury recently designated Tren de Aragua a significant transnational criminal organization and offered financial rewards for the conviction of three of its leaders. It was recently revealed that the brother of the suspect in the killing of Georgia student Laken Riley had ties to the gang, both of whom are Venezuelan illegal immigrants.
