Snarkvark @ PoliSnark.comLet’s talk about how Denver and Aurora’s sanctuary policies have turned the metro area into a fucking playground for Venezuelan gangs. The Denver Gazette recently dropped a bombshell: the Tren de Aragua (TDA) gang—a criminal group involved in everything from human trafficking to extortion—has allegedly made Denver its U.S. headquarters. How’s that “sanctuary city” thing working out for you now, Denver?
Crime is up. Aurora alone has seen significant spikes in violent crime, with thefts and assaults increasing as more gangs move in under the radar of lenient policies (MDHI). Meanwhile, housing costs are skyrocketing—thanks to out-of-control migration and lax enforcement—pushing hardworking Coloradans out of their homes. So, not only do we get to deal with gang members taking over apartment complexes, but rents are through the roof because of the growing demand from waves of new arrivals (MDHI).
The real question is, how many gangs do we let in before suburban voters wake the hell up? When is enough truly enough? Is it when a gang sets up shop down the street from your local Starbucks? Or when your kid’s school has to issue safety alerts because of nearby shootings? Wake up, normies. This shit is happening right now, and it’s coming for you—whether you like it or not. Sanctuary policies might make liberals in downtown Denver feel all warm and fuzzy, but they’re leaving the rest of the state fucked.
This isn’t just political incompetence—it’s negligence. The Division of Wildlife could probably do a better job tracking these gangs than Aurora’s city officials, who either didn’t notice or didn’t care. And if the people running these cities can’t get a handle on basic law enforcement, what the hell are they even doing? If your solution to violent gangs infiltrating communities is to ignore ICE warnings and just hope for the best, you’ve already failed at your job.
The answer? Start enforcing the damn law. Sanctuary policies are handcuffing police while criminals roam free. It’s time for the comfort-craving suburbanites to take off the blinders and realize that feel-good policies have real-world consequences. Safe streets, affordable housing, and public safety should come before virtue-signaling any day of the week.
If Denver and Aurora don’t grow a spine and start cracking down, this isn’t going to stop—it’s going to get worse. And you can bet your ass that the billionaires and politicians who pushed these sanctuary policies will be just fine behind their gated communities, far away from the neighborhoods where this chaos plays out. But the rest of us? We’re stuck cleaning up the mess.
