Aurora, Colorado’s top police official announced Wednesday that efforts to cleanup various apartment complexes plagued by Venezuelan gang members of Tren de Aragua (TdA), and bad management pushed the city to help about 85 families or individuals relocate to areas where they could not be revictimized.

Aurora Police Department Chief Todd Chamberlain gave an update on the progress made across the city, including his criminal nuisance closure order that resulted in the shutdown of the Edge at Lowry.

Last month, city Judge Shawn Day ruled that the Edge at Lowry apartment complex must temporarily close due to an “immediate threat to public safety.”

Chamberlain said the complex would continue to be shut down until property management is changed or the property management company takes accountability. If the latter does not occur, the chief warned, the city will pursue legal action.

The Aurora Police Department’s approach to eradicate the criminal activity comes months after Democratic Gov. Jared Polis dismissed outrage over a video showing armed members of Tren de Aragua in the apartment building as “imagination, despite significant evidence.

The video showed several armed men in an Aurora, Colorado apartment that some said at the time, had been taken over by members of Tren de Aragua,

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.

“But, according to police intelligence this purported invasion is largely a feature of Danielle Jurinsky’s imagination,” Wieman added, referring to a city council member who said she was disappointed in the governor’s statement.
