Recent reports indicate that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has apprehended over 100 members of the Tren de Aragua gang in Aurora, Colorado. In recent years, Aurora has garnered attention due to the gang’s reported takeover of several apartment complexes, instilling fear among local residents.
Between January 21 and February 3, ICE is said to have arrested 194 gang members who were residing in the country unlawfully, with preparations underway for deportation flights to Venezuela. Furthermore, a breaking news report on Wednesday morning revealed that ICE had detained more than 100 Tren de Aragua members in Aurora during what were described as “lightning raids.”
The widely followed X account Border Hawk announced, “BREAKING: More than 100 Tren de Aragua gangbangers rounded up during lightning raids in Aurora, CO.” The account indicated that it would provide further updates as the situation evolved. Commenters expressed their approval of the news, particularly in light of President Trump’s swift actions to implement his agenda.
“President Donald Trump assured the American public that he would arrest and deport members of the violent Tren de Aragua gang, and he is fulfilling that promise,” stated White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. “Under President Trump’s leadership, illegal immigrant criminal organizations like Tren de Aragua will no longer be able to instill fear in American communities.”
