Colorado city council member responds to governor's office's dismissal of armed gang takeover as 'imagination'.
Gov. Jared Polis' office dismissed the armed gang apartment takeovers as mere 'imagination'.
Despite significant evidence, Democrat governor of Colorado Jared Polis dismissed outrage over a video showing what appears to be armed Venezuelan gang members in an apartment building as "imagination." Aurora City Council member Danielle Jurinsky fired back after the governor's denial, saying "I am so disappointed." In a statement shared to the New York Post, Polis' spokeswoman Shelby Wieman claimed, "The Governor has already let the Mayor know that the State is ready to support the local police department with assistance from state troopers and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation if needed." However, according to police intelligence, this purported invasion is largely a feature of Danielle Jurinsky's imagination, added Wieman.
In an Aurora, Colorado apartment, there are reports of Tren de Aragua, a notorious Venezuelan gang, having taken over.
Danielle Jurinsky, a City Council Member, has been at the forefront of this issue, including evacuating several residents from an armed gang-occupied apartment building on Wednesday.
In an exclusive interview with Planet Chronicle Digital, Jurinsky questioned Polis, saying, "Is this also a figment of the Romeros' imagination? And the other resident that I helped to get out of there, and the other residents that I am going to continue to get out of there?"
Spokeswoman Shelby Wieman responded to Planet Chronicle Digital, stating that Governor Polis hopes the city council members in charge of Aurora stop criticizing their own city and focus on keeping it safe. VIDEO SHOWS ARMED GANG AT TROUBLED COLORADO APARTMENT BUILDING BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN TAKEN OVER BY MIGRANTS. According to reporting from the New York Post, over 40,000 migrants have arrived in the Denver area since December 2022.
"Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman stated in an exclusive interview with Planet Chronicle Digital that the situation is real, but it needs to be put into context to protect the reputation of the entire city with over 400,000 residents. Danielle Jurinsky, a resident of one of the affected apartment buildings, believes that the situation is being politicized, which is disheartening because it involves real people, like the Romeros, who are living in fear every day in these complexes."
Across the country, people are seeing what is happening," said Jurinsky. "Video footage is only undeniable for our governor in Colorado. Everybody else is seeing this for themselves.
