On Monday, Aurora Police authorities rejected the claim that an armed gang had taken an immigrant complex in the Colorado city, with speculation being that the men were part of the Venezuelan-born Tren de Aragua gang.
Even though Aurora's interim police chief didn't rule out the presence of gang members in the area, she flatly denied that gangs had taken over the complex, prompting the city's Republican mayor to label the incident a part of an "environment of hysteria" and admit that the public outcry had hindered the authorities' ability to provide timely response.
