Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to hold a campaign rally in Aurora, Colorado, on Friday. Trump has recently made statements linking the city of Aurora to issues surrounding immigration, specifically mentioning the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
During a presidential debate last month, Trump referenced Aurora, claiming that the city was being taken over by gangs and facing violent incidents due to unchecked migration. However, Aurora police have stated that gang influence in the city is isolated, and the city itself has attributed any issues to abusive housing conditions rather than organized crime.
