Aurora, Colorado, is normally a quiet, nondescript suburb 30 minutes outside Denver. In recent months, however, the city has been at the center of a national scandal. Beginning last year, a large influx of Venezuelan migrants, some of them members of the notorious Tren de Aragua street gang, reportedly had "taken over" a series of apartment buildings in Aurora"and unleashed terror. Last month, Venezuelan migrants were allegedly implicated in an attempted homicide, an arrest of purported gang members, and shocking security footage that showed heavily armed men forcibly entering one of the apartments. In response to the chaos, police mobilized en masse and vacated one of the complexes after the city, alleging code violations, deemed it uninhabitable
KAMALA HARRIS'S MOMENTUM HAS STALLED, and she heads into the final eight weeks of the campaign with a challenging map in the Electoral College. Voters in a new national New York Times/Siena poll see Donald Trump as the candidate representing change and say they don't know enough about what Harris stands for or plans to do as president. It's high time for her to stop by local television morning shows, call into radio programs, chat with reporters in the back of the plane, and appear on podcasts of all kinds. Harris needs to start having conversations with the press. Loads of them. In a race this tight, one debate, even a home run, isn't likely to win Harris the election. She can talk to Hillary Clinton about her successful debates that preceded losing to Trump in 2016. One debate should not be the last time voters see Harris in an unscripted back and forth on critical issues, and a bad debate can be mitigated by a relentless media offensive.
This summer saw a slew of court cases over the issue of ballot access. Now the litigation is threatening to undermine voters' confidence in this fall's election. The ability to reflect on and elect our own leaders is the core of our democracy. Democrats should have been thrilled to see third-party candidates like Jill Stein and Cornel West stepping up to provide voters with an alternative choice to the two-party monopoly. They were not. The Democratic Party has filed multiple lawsuits in key swing states to restrict third parties' ballot access. This lawfare will undermine voter confidence in the 2024 election by limiting voters' ability to exercise choice.
No mention of the surveillance video.
But thank you, Tony Roma for providing something of substance.
#26. When it comes to these three apartments it clearly happened and now we are quibbling over the extent to which it happened.
