A shocking video shows a crew of gun-wielding men storm through a Colorado apartment building reportedly overrun by a dangerous Venezuelan prison gang.
The group of heavily armed men — including three with handguns and one with a rifle — enter the troubled apartment complex in the Denver suburb of Aurora and break into a unit, the clip obtained by KDVR shows.
The footage was captured earlier this month, shortly before a shootout at the complex, The Edge at Lowry, severely injured one person and damaged multiple cars, according to the local news station.
A separate clip taken at a different time shows two men bashing the lock of a unit with a tire iron inside the same housing complex, where migrants have moved in.
Recent crime at the building has left residents of The Edge on edge.
“It’s been a nightmare and I can’t wait to get out of here,” Cindy Romero told KDVR as she moved out of the building with her husband, Edward.
The couple said the violence began when a large number of migrants moved into the building.
They used five locks on their apartment door from top to bottom as well as a door security bar jammer.
“Every day when we come home, we have to do this every time we go outside to take out the garbage,” Cindy said, turning each lock. “Every time we go to bed at night. We have to keep like this so that nobody can kick in the door.”
Their car was one of the vehicles riddled with bullets after the shootout.
The Romeros had been trying to move somewhere safer but said they couldn’t get the help needed to do so.
“We couldn’t get any help. We tried reaching out to resources, but they told us since it was not a condemned building, we would have to wait ’til that was the issue, but we didn’t want to wait for that,” Edward Romero told the local station.
They finally were able to pack up their stuff and leave with the help of Aurora City Council member Danielle Jurinsky, who has been outspoken about the influx of alleged members of the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua in the suburb of 390,000.
“The city nonprofits have lined up to help the migrants that have come here but nobody is helping the Americans that are trapped in these apartment complexes,” Jurinsky told the news station. “[And] this isn’t just Americans. Other Venezuelans are being extorted by this gang.”
The council member spoke to The Post earlier Wednesday about her community suffering from the spillover of Denver’s new migrant population — and resulting Tren de Aragua gang members.
“To our governor and to the mayor of Denver, I refuse to be silenced. I refuse to play the game of politics with you regarding this migrant crisis. And I will continue to speak up and speak out and help as many people as I can,” she said.
Denver, a sanctuary city, has received the largest number of migrants per capita across the nation, with more than 40,000 new arrivals since December 2022.
Directly east of Denver, Aurora has seen a flood of migrants itself — and crimes attributed to Tren de Aragua, a prison gang originating in the Aragua region of Venezuela.
The gang has infiltrated multiple states and other big cities like New York and Chicago after crossing into the US from the southern border.

ICE Loses Track of Hundreds of Thousands of Unaccompanied Minors
Chances of human trafficking and exploitation skyrocket when notices to appear in court are not issued to unaccompanied minors
Over 290,000 unaccompanied illegal alien children have not been issued notices to appear in court by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which limits the chances of evaluating their safety.
The news broke in a report by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General.
The report asserts that ICE, having not issued notices to appear in court to illegal alien children, is unable to monitor the whereabouts of the minors once they are released from custody. Further, ICE allegedly has no process in place to address unaccompanied minors if they fail to appear in court.
As immigration court hearings are often the only opportunity to evaluate a child’s safety from human trafficking efforts, the risk of malicious exploitation has skyrocketed.
Between fiscal years 2019 and 2023, more than 448,000 unaccompanied illegal alien children were transferred to HHS. As the report shows, many did not appear in court as directed. HHS was able to identify 32,000 minors who did not appear in court.
However, as of May 2024, the number of unaccompanied illegal alien children who have not been served notices to appear in court by ICE has exceeded 290,000.
Additionally, ICE habitually did not inform HHS when minors failed to appear in court following the HHS Office of Refugee Resettlement’s release of the children to sponsors—many of whom are allegedly unvetted.
“ICE must take immediate action to ensure the safety of UCs residing in the United States,” Inspector General Joseph Cuffari wrote in his report. “Based on our audit work and according to ICE officials, UCs who do not appear for court are considered at higher risk for trafficking, exploitation, or forced labor.”
Cuffari also wrote that although 32,000 have been identified as not appearing in court, that number would have been much higher if the more than 290,000 unaccompanied minors had been placed in proper removal proceedings.
“By not issuing NTAs to all UCs, ICE limits its chances of having contact with UCs when they are released from HHS’ custody, which reduces opportunities to verify their safety,” he continued.
Thus, ICE has no assurance that unaccompanied children are protected in any way from trafficking or exploitation.
