Armed gang takes over apt complex, Mayor blames migrants

Armed migrant gangs are taking over an apartment complex in Aurora, Illinois. The video you see above has over 5 million views across social media. Yahoo News reported: "FOX31's Vicente Arenas caught up with Aurora City Council Member Danielle Jurinsky, who said there were migrant gangs taking over an apartment complex and forcing residents out."

The video shows an armed gang of people that police later confirmed were members of a Venezuelan gang. Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman confirmed that "several buildings" have “fallen to these Venezuelan gangs." Coffman also believes that the buildings were being used to house migrants on the taxpayer dollar, which then helped the gangs get an easier grip on taking them over - possibly extorting residents for rent money, stealing, or whatever they planned to do. 

Colorado Gov Jared Polis brushed it off as imaginary despite video, police reports, and the mayor confirming.
