Tren de Aragua Gang expands to Denver and Aurora, unleashing chaos in sanctuary cities

By Christina Coulter | Fox News Although Denver's suburbs don't share its sanctuary city policies, the influx of migrants into the Mile High City has spilled outward. Now, its neighbors are facing an unprecedented wave of activity from a notorious Venezuelan prison gang.  Officials from Aurora, about nine miles east of Denver, told Fox News Digital the Tren de Aragua gang has gained a strong foothold in their city, commandeering apartment complexes and drumming up violent crime and sex trafficking.  "We currently have entire complexes under gang control — complexes where staff have been beaten up, they've been threatened, their families have been threatened [and] complexes where there are no staff left on the property," Aurora City Council Member Dani...

By Nicole C. Brambila | Denver Gazette Denver officials identified 15 apartment complexes with a high concentration of immigrants with tenants facing eviction — the latest focal point in a city whose finances have been stretched thin to pay for the influx of people from America's southern borders. Officials said they are looking to create a process with the landlords to refer residents to resources for “those at risk of evictions,” Perla Gheiler, executive director of the Denver Human Rights and Community Partnerships, told Denver City Council members during an update on the city’s immigrant response on Tuesday. “There’s a lot of evictions happening,” Gheiler told The Denver Gazette following the meeting.

Is the migrant flow slowing? Denver claims it hasn’t received a bus from Texas since June 11

Taxpayers are annually on the hook for $3 billion in food stamps for noncitizens

By Tom Gantert | The Center Square Every year, the United States has allowed between 1.47 million to 1.86 million noncitizens to receive food stamps from the federal government at a taxpayer cost of almost $3 billion a year. That is according to annual reports from the U.S. Department of Agriculture for its Supplement Nutritional Assistance Program. “Only U.S. citizens and certain lawfully present non-citizens may receive SNAP benefits,” said Hal Sullivan, spokesperson for the USDA in an email to The Center Square. “SNAP is not and has never been available to undocumented non-citizens. Non-citizens like tourists and students are generally not eligible. Non-citizens who are eligible based on their immigration status must meet SNAP eligibility requirements, such as income and resour...

By Fox News United Automobile Workers President Shawn Fain on Tuesday called the ongoing crisis at the southern border a "manufactured crisis" as he accused Republicans of not having read their Bibles in their approach to illegal immigration.

‘Reject any funding for President Trump’s border wall’: In 2018, Harris led Dems in call to reject Border Patrol, ICE funding

By Julia Johnson | Fox News Vice President Kamala Harris previously led a group of Democratic senators in calling for a reduction in funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and to reject appropriations entirely for additional Border Patrol agents and border wall construction. In 2018, then-Sen. Harris and her fellow Democratic members of the Senate Judiciary Committee led several other Democrats in a letter to Senate appropriators.

Another signatory of the document pushing back on President Trump's administration and its request for funding in fiscal year 2019 was vulnerable Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin of...
