Leftist Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, Who Dismissed Armed Venezuelan Gangs in Aurora as “Imaginary,” Now Claims to Take the Threat “Seriously”

Colorado Governor Jared Polis, who initially dismissed the concerns of Aurora residents regarding the takeover of local apartment complexes by the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua as “imaginary,” has now backtracked, claiming to take the situation “very seriously.”

Aurora has been grappling with the presence of the notorious Venezuelan gang, which has reportedly taken control of several apartment complexes in the city.

Despite overwhelming evidence, including video footage, police reports, and testimonies from residents, Governor Polis’s administration initially downplayed the severity of the situation.

Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky has been at the forefront of exposing the gang’s activities, repeatedly warning about the escalating violence and criminal behavior.

“We are not buying this,” Jurinsky stated, pointing out that the closure of Fitzsimon’s apartment complex, which displaced hundreds of families, was not merely due to code violations as claimed by city officials but rather the result of a gang takeover.

A recent video from Fox 31 Denver reporter Vicente Arenas revealed chilling footage of an armed group at another Aurora apartment complex, further validating the claims.

Jurinsky wrote, “And I repeat… A GANG HAS TAKEN OVER several apartment complexes in Aurora!”

Jurinsky’s warnings were met with a dismissive response from Polis’s press office, with spokesperson Shelby Wieman stating that the supposed gang invasion was “largely a feature of Danielle Jurinsky’s imagination.”

Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman has been vocal about the crisis, stating that several buildings have fallen into the hands of these Venezuelan gangs, which he believes are linked to taxpayer-funded migrant housing.

Coffman emphasized that these gangs have used intimidation tactics to push out property management and collect rents, a disturbing trend that Polis seems unwilling to confront.

In a recent interview with CNN, Governor Polis appeared to reverse his earlier stance, claiming that his administration has been taking the threat “very seriously.”

Gavin Newsom to Decide After CA Democrats Pass $150,000 Home Loans for Illegal Aliens

California Governor Gavin Newsom will make the final decision on a bill that would make illegal aliens eligible for $150,000 in home loans for first-time buyers, after the State Assembly passed a final version of the bill on Wednesday.

Assemblyman Bill Essayli (R-Corona) helped lead Republican opposition to the bill, but Democrats passed it by a three-to-one veto-proof majority, sending it to the governor’s desk — and drawing attention to the party’s pattern of creating incentives for illegal migration by heaping taxpayer-funded benefits onto people who are not supposed to be in the country at all.

As Breitbart News has reported, the loan program expands an existing program that does not require a down payment or interest payments, but instead requires borrowers to repay the principal and a percentage of the appreciation of the value of the home.

Federal Appeals Court: Illegal Aliens Do Not Have 2nd Amendment Rights

On Tuesday, a federal appeals court in New Orleans ruled that illegal aliens do not have the right to bear arms under the Second Amendment, due to the fact that they are not American citizens.

As reported by Fox News, a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals determined that federal law prohibiting illegal aliens from owning firearms is legal, as the Constitution does not apply to anyone who has entered the United States illegally.

The decision came as the result of an appeal by an illegal alien named Jose Paz Medina-Cantu, who had been arrested in Texas in 2022 by the Border Patrol. He was charged with illegal possession of a handgun, and illegally re-entering the country after having already been deported.

Although he pleaded guilty to the charges, his lawyers argued during his appeal that the gun charge was a violation of his Constitutional rights. In their appeal, the lawyers cited the landmark Supreme Court decision in the 2022 case New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen, where the court ruled in a 6-3 majority that Americans do not have to provide a reason when seeking a concealed-carry permit. This ruling has led to numerous anti-gun laws across the country being challenged in court, with many being overturned based on Bruen’s precedent.

After hearing the appeal of the illegal’s lawyers, the three-judge panel ruled that the rights granted to American citizens by the Constitution do not apply to illegals.

Biden admin. loses track of tens of thousands of children who crossed into US illegally

The Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) issued a Management Alert on August 19, 2024, identifying serious issues in ICE’s monitoring of unaccompanied migrant children (UCs). From 2019 to 2023, ICE transferred over 448,000 UCs to HHS but failed to track many who missed their immigration court dates, with more than 32,000 UCs missing their hearings. ICE also did not consistently notify HHS when UCs missed court and did not issue Notices to Appear (NTAs) for over 291,000 UCs.

The memorandum requests ICE take immediate action. It asks ICE to develop automated systems for better information sharing and to implement formal policies to ensure follow-up on UCs who miss court dates.

REVEALED: The northeastern state that won’t tell voters about its ‘secret’ $1 billion spend on migrants

Massachusetts Republicans have demanded the state’s Democratic leaders come clean on their alleged ‘$1 billion in secret migrant crisis spending.’

The Bay State’s GOP filed public records requests asking Gov. Maura Healey’s administration to provide a detailed breakdown of spending on shelters, meals and other costs.

The request comes as Massachusetts scrambles to accommodate the roughly 50,000 non-legal migrants who’ve entered the state since President Joe Biden took office in 2021.

The Boston area has in recent weeks been roiled by outrage, after Stoughton school district cut bus services to local kids but kept them running for young migrants living in shelters.

Against this troubling backdrop, Amy Carnevale, the state’s GOP chairwoman, demanded that Healey come clean about how taxpayer dollars were being spent.

Her ‘administration has shrouded nearly $1 billion spent in secrecy, leaving Massachusetts residents in the dark,’ Carnevale said.

‘They have withheld critical information on 600 incidents involving police, fire, and EMT.’

When reporters asked questions about migrant costs, Healey’s team was ‘blocking them at every turn,’ said Carnevale.

California Senate Passes Law Banning Voter I.D. in Local Elections, Paving Way For Illegals Voting

California lawmakers has passed a law banning voter idenficitation in local elections as Democrats seek to shore up their supermajority in the state.

Legislation SB1174 was passed after the City of Huntington Beach, which remains one of the few areas of Los Angeles that leans Republican, approved a voter ID requirement for municipal elections from 2026.

Sadly for the people of Huntington Beach, this legislation will override their sensible policy.

According to the bill’s author bill, State Sen. Dave Min, an “overwhelming body of evidence proves that voter ID laws only subvert voter turnout and create barriers to law abiding voters.”

“To register to vote in California, voters are already required to provide their driver’s license number, California identification number, or the last four digits of their social security number,” he continued.

California Democrats Vote to Force Taxpayers to Subsidize $150,000 Down Payment on Homes for Illegals – But the CA Department of Finance Confirms the Program Has No Money!

California Democrat state senators on Tuesday overwhelmingly voted to pass a bill that would give illegal aliens $150,000 interest-free home mortgage loans.

Illegal aliens will get zero down payment, interest-free home mortgage loans under this new bill.

California’s Democrat governor Gavin Newsom hasn’t said whether he will sign the bill.

Democrat assemblymember Joaquin Arambula (Fresno) recently introduced Assembly Bill 1840 to extend a first-time homebuyer loan program to illegal aliens.

If the bill becomes law, illegal aliens will be eligible for a new program that offers a loan worth 20% of the purchase price of the residential property. There are no monthly payments and no interest accrues on the loan. Rather, the loan is paid back when the borrower refinances or sells the property. The borrower will have to pay back the original loan plus a 20% increase in the value of the property.

California’s Democrat lawmakers in the State Senate approved AB 1840 23-11.

The bill will head to the California assembly for final approval after lawmakers in the senate made changes.

Democrats Push Cheap Housing for Illegal Migrants

Democratic politicians nationwide are trying to put many illegal migrants into apartments and homes that would otherwise go to young Americans.

In California, Democrats in the state Assembly have passed legislation that would create homebuyer tax breaks for illegal migrants who walked through weak border controls.

“When undocumented individuals are excluded from such [house-buying] programs, they miss out on a crucial method of securing financial security and personal stability for themselves and their families,” according to the sponsor, Rep. Joaquin Arambula, a Democrat with a large and poor Latino constituency in Fresno Valley.

The giveaway will drive up Americans’ housing costs — and make life tougher for the 85 percent of American-born California families who earn less than roughly $80,000 per year and spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing, according to a pro-migrant advocacy group.

In Canada, the government’s mass migration policy is preventing many young Canadians from buying homes, reducing the birth rate, exploding Canada’s homeless population, and shifting vast wealth to older investors. Many young people will lose the retirement wealth that their parents earned from house ownership, Canada’s pro-migration Prime Minister Justin Trudeau admitted in July.

Hundreds of Noncitizens Registered to Vote or Voted Illegally in Ohio

Nearly 600 noncitizens have been referred for prosecution by Ohio’s election chief after they registered to vote or cast a vote illegally.

Of the 597 who have been referred, 138 were found to have cast ballots and 459 had registered but not yet voted.

The individuals were identified as part of a routine review and referred to Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost.

In 2022, 148 noncitizen cases were referred, with 117 in 2021 and 354 in 2019.

Earlier this year, Secretary of State Frank LaRose launched a large-scale audit of the state’s voter registration database, which resulted in the removal of nearly 155,000 registrations that were found to have been abandoned and inactive for at least four consecutive years.

These verification efforts are the most comprehensive in the state’s history. They include cross-checks against records of the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, the Department of Homeland Security’s federal database of noncitizens, and the Social Security Administration, and federal jury pool data and other resources.

LaRose recently appeared on the War Room with Benjamin Harnwell to discuss his efforts to eliminate voter fraud in Ohio in detail.

La Rose told Harnwell that “the process is much harder than it needs to be because of a lack of cooperation from the federal government. We’re using every resource we have, but it’s still not a full process that it could be.”

Texas investigates reports of noncitizens being illegally registered to vote

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced on Wednesday that he has opened an investigation into reports that groups in the state may be registering noncitizens to vote in violation of both state and federal laws.

Investigators with the Texas Attorney General’s Election Integrity Unit conducted undercover operations to identify potential voter registration of noncitizens in the state, with the investigation already confirming “that various nonprofit organizations have been located outside Texas Department of Public Safety Driver License offices, operating booths offering to assist in voter registration for persons doing business at the driver’s license offices,” a press release from Paxton’s office stated. These undercover operations are ongoing.

The press release noted that “all citizens have already been presented an opportunity to register to vote as part of the process of renewing or being issued an identification card or driver’s license, so there is no obvious need to assist citizens to register to vote outside DPS offices—calling into question the motives of the nonprofit groups.”
