Aurora, Colo., Officials to Shut Down Apartment Complex Taken Over by Illegal Immigrant Gang
14th January 2025
Months after President-elect Donald Trump drew attention to an illegal immigrant gang that has taken over apartment complexes in Aurora, Colorado, the city is working to immediately shutter one of those complexes as gang crime reaches its “breaking point.”
City officials in Aurora have filed a petition for injunctive relief and emergency closure of The Edge at Lowry Apartments as gang violence persists at the complex, 9News reported. While the city and the property owner, CBZ Management, already reached an agreement last month to shut the complex down, the filing may fast-track the closure.
You may ask, how did they get control of it in the first place? And why did it take until now?
In national elections, Aurora leans to the left and the Democratic Party, though not as much as neighboring Denver but more than other suburbs in the Denver metro area. Northern and Central Aurora, due to an extremely racially and culturally diverse voter base and high density for a suburban city, are some of the most Democratic areas in Colorado and vote similarly to Denver and Boulder; southern Aurora, similar to neighboring Centennial, used to lean Republican but has swung Democratic entering the 2020s. — Wikipedia.
