Did a Venezuelan gang take over a Colorado apartment complex?
Dr Phil talks with Cindy, a former resident of an apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado, who says she experienced months of escalating violence, including shootings, armed men in hallways, and threats, which she attributes to Venezuelan gang known as Tren De Aragua. Despite her frequent calls to 911, Cindy says police response was inadequate. She eventually moved out with the help of city council member Danielle Jurinsky, who has been vocal about the suspected presence of Venezuelan gangs in the area. Cindy and Danielle are joined by John Fabbricatore, a former ICE field director who says Colorado’s sanctuary state status has made it attractive for gangs like Tren De Aragua to set up shop. He also blames lax security at our borders contributing to the gang presence in Colorado. News on Merit Street anchor Kris Guttierez Romero checks out exactly what is going on at our border with the help of Gabe Acosta, a retired border patrol agent from El Paso, Texas. Gabe says the border problem is “self-induced” started by then Vice President Biden who said he’ll not deport anyone for 100 days of his administration.
