The former resident of the Colorado apartment complex where a migrant gang is reportedly taking over claims that this is not an isolated incident.

Earlier in the day, Cindy Romero stated that the armed migrants were spotted: "We anticipated this."

The former resident of the Colorado apartment complex where a migrant gang is reportedly taking over claims that this is not an isolated incident.

A group of heavily-armed Venezuelan migrants were caught on camera trying to break into an apartment in Colorado. The suspected gang members have since overrun the Aurora, Colo. apartment complex, and one former resident claims that the takeover is not an isolated incident.

Unfortunately, Cindy Romero, a former Aurora apartment complex resident, stated on "America Reports" Friday that the issue she experienced was not an isolated occurrence. She has accumulated six months of footage from multiple cameras.

Residents at the apartment complex were on "high alert" after observing several individuals carrying weapons into an adjacent building early one morning, as stated by Romero.

I witnessed multiple people with assault weapons descending to the adjacent building's lower floor. I reported it to the police. As a result, we were anxious and vigilant throughout the day, as they informed us that they couldn't take any action unless something occurred. We were simply waiting for it to happen, knowing it was imminent.

Despite calling law enforcement early that morning, police were unable to respond unless something happened.

An ongoing investigation was the reason they didn't want to interfere. I assume there was surveillance. However, they never showed up. Then, at 11:20 that evening, a shooting broke out and we called 911 frantically, pleading for help. We didn't receive a response for an hour and a half.

An unknown reason led to several men, armed with handguns and one with a scoped rifle, breaking into an apartment complex.

The group is believed to be Tren de Aragua, or TdA, a transnational gang from Venezuela with a reported membership of 5,000. Their motto is "real until death," which translates to "real hasta la muerte."

Over 100 crimes across the nation have been linked to TdA, according to reporting from the New York Post.

Romero stated that on that specific day, the situation was extremely unfavorable. She and her husband were present when the gang invaded the apartment adjacent to theirs.

The building takeover ended with shots fired and bullets flying into vehicles.

My car has a bullet hole through it. I went in one side and out the other, hitting about five things on the way through. My husband's car also has bullet holes.

At least two apartment buildings in Aurora have been taken over by Venezuelan gangs, and some residents have confirmed that members of Tren de Aragua have collected rent from residents in at least one overrun complex.

Danielle Jurinsky, a member of the Aurora City Council, assisted Romero in relocating.

Romero stated that his first conversation with her was when she asked, "Do you still reside there?" to which he replied, "Yes." Following that, she declared, "I will remove you from there."

Jared Polis, the governor of Colorado, has scrutinized Jurinsky's stance on the apartment complex invasion.

A spokesperson for Polis' office told the New York Post Thursday that, according to police intelligence, the purported invasion is largely a product of Danielle Jurinsky's imagination.

"You can't fake video and Polis wouldn't last five minutes on that property." - Cindy Romero

Polis wouldn't last five minutes on that property, according to Romero, who hit back at the Democratic governor by saying, "You can't fake video."

"Romero claimed that they do not want to admit that they are part of the problem. According to Romero, the administration is responsible for creating the rules and guidelines that they follow. Romero called 911 for help, but no assistance arrived. There were no mass amounts of police present to ensure their safety. No one came to help Romero."

"We were left to die without a bulletproof vest or backup from five officers."

Every day, Romero is grateful for escaping the terrifying incident.
