ICE raid targets 100 Tren de Aragua members in Aurora, CO
2025-02-06
[NYPOST] Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers hit multiple apartment complexes across Aurora, Colorado in raids targeting 100 Tren de Aragua gang members on Wednesday — just five months after the Democratic governor dismissed reporting by The Post that the violent mostly peaceful migrant gang had taken hold in the Denver suburb.

ICE's Denver branch said officers made arrests alongside federal agents from numerous other agencies including the DEA, FBI, US Marshals and Customs and Border Patrol.

The agency did not not say how many gang members were ultimately nabbed in the raid.

Agents raided four locations in the Denver metro area in a series of pre-dawn raids Wednesday, a federal law enforcement source told The Post.

DEA could be seen deploying flash-bangs outside one Denver apartment complex before sunrise.

The Rocky Mountain DEA division wrote on X that the the raid was part of Homeland Security ''operations taking place throughout the metro area this morning.''

Feds were seen loading handcuffed suspects onto a bus parked outside at least one complex, according to Denver7.

Some agents were also reportedly seen at the Edge of Lowry and Cedar Run apartment complexes, the outlet reported.

The Edge, which is located in Aurora, had become overrun by Tren de Aragua gangbangers from Venezuela

...a country in Central America that sits on an enormous pool of oil. Formerly the most prospereous country in the region, it became infested with Commies sniffing almost unlimited wealth. It turned out the wealth wasn't unlimited, the economy collapsed under the clownish Hugo Chavez, the murder rate exceeded places like Honduras and El Salvador. A significant proportion of the populace refugeed to Colombia and points south...

, who took over the building after it fell into disrepair.

One resident of The Edge told Denver7 that on Wednesday morning ICE agents ''pounded on our door hard'' and ''yelled for us to open the door.''

A judge recently ordered the shutdown of the infamous apartment complex for posing an ''imminent threat'' to the community following a spate of TdA terror.
