After months of Aurora, Colorado officials claiming the city has no problem with the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, a new video shows the criminal group still runs two apartment complexes in the Denver suburb to this day .
The images show a woman who just gave birth a week ago and says that gangsters burned her with boiling water while she was pregnant and are terrorizing her and her husband.
The Guatemalan migrant is a resident of Whispering Pines Apartments, one of three Aurora properties where the bloodthirsty South American control has taken control in recent months.
The new mom added that she went into labor early due to the stress caused by living in constant fear for safety, as several units in her complex, including the people who live directly across from her, are TdA, as police know the gang. .
The Aragua Train began to filter into the US, hidden among the million Venezuelan migrants who have entered the US during the Biden Administration.
The notorious South American mafia, best known for the sex trafficking of girls and women and the exploitation of its compatriots, now has tentacles stretching across the United States to places like New York, Miami, San Antonio, El Paso and Dallas, as reported for the first time DailyMail.com. .
A Guatemalan woman who just gave birth is the latest victim of the Aragua Train to report that she and her husband were terrorized by gangsters in their Aurora, Colorado apartment.
“They kicked in the door. They got tired of finding a way…they came and threw hot water on us,” he told apartment managers who are trying to eliminate the gangsters.
The victim, whose face is blurred for her protection, explained that the Venezuelan criminals first came to them months ago, demanding that they leave their apartment so TdA could take it over.
Rental properties are key to the syndicate’s growth in the United States and its ability to make money, law enforcement officials told DailyMail.com.
“Prostitution is a big source of income, and the thing about prostitution is that it attracts men who they can then sell drugs to,” John Fabbricatore, former director of Colorado Immigration and Customs Enforcement, explained in September.
‘These guys come in, meet these Johns and shake them down. Let’s see if they want to buy drugs. They’ve started moving these girls, and if you walk into these apartments, you’ll see these young girls. It’s bad.’
When the Guatemalans refused to leave their unit, they were extorted, as the thugs said the couple had to pay them “rent” if they wanted to continue living there.
After the future couple refused, they kicked down the front door. They then attacked them with boiling water, forcing her into premature labor.
“I was never at peace,” the victim stated in the October 10 clip provided to DailyMail.com by police sources.
Exclusive images obtained by DailyMail.com show inside another apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado, taken over by the vicious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, where thugs described as the “epitome of evil” are literally marking their territory.
A federal gang expert explained that the graffiti is a mix of the well-known Aragua Train shorthand, combined with regional signs, meaning the gangsters personalized it with clues from the region of Venezuela they came from.
‘Two of the eight individuals who were arrested were involved in a shooting in July at one of the specific properties in the city that have experienced problems with TdA activity. In line with these arrests, we can now also confirm that criminal activity, including TdA emissions, had significantly impacted those properties.’
‘Do you want to file a police report? “I can’t kick these people out unless you file a complaint,” the apartment management insists with the help of a Spanish translator.
She agrees to talk more, but only from the privacy of her apartment, so the TdA members who live right across the street from her don’t hear her.
The gang’s presence in Aurora made international news after images emerged in late August of several armed men breaking into units at the Edge of Lowry Apartments.
As outrage over the images spread across the country, Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman denied that Aurora had a gang problem and downplayed the presence of gangs in the city.
The Edge at Lowry apartments were the second property taken over by the South American gang.
Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman said there are ‘several buildings’ that have ‘fallen into the hands of these Venezuelan gangs’ in the city
“There is a tendency to exaggerate and say that this incident that is isolated in three buildings of the same owner with the same people, a concentration of Venezuelan migrants, is the city of Aurora… that the entire city is unsafe,” he said in the Interview with Denver7.
He went on to say that they were solving it by making arrests, however, months later, many TdA gangsters are still running those complexes.
A law enforcement source described Lowry’s Edge as overrun by TdA members and spoke to several prostitutes in Whispering Pines who are being trafficked by the criminal network.
