The Aurora City Attorney’s Office is preparing court documents to request an emergency order that would allow the eviction of apartment buildings where Venezuelan gang activity has been detected, declaring them a “Criminal Nuisance.” This action aims to have a municipal judge issue the order to return control of these properties to their rightful owners, as stated by Mayor Mike Coffman on his social media.

Meanwhile, the law enforcement task force, established to dismantle and arrest members of the Venezuelan gangs in these buildings, will continue its operations, Coffman assures. “The problems associated with the activity of these gangs have been limited to properties owned by the same out-of-state landlord, whose code violations and criminal activity issues preceded the migrant crisis,” continued the mayor.

Mayor Coffman has expressed his strong conviction that the best solution is to shut down these buildings and ensure that this situation never happens again. In the image, captured from a video, Venezuelan gang members are seen in an apartment on August 18th.

Aurora to Seek Emergency Court Order to Clear Apartments

The Aurora City Attorney’s Office is preparing court documents to request an emergency court order to clear the apartment buildings where Venezuelan gang activity has been occurring by declaring the properties a “Criminal Nuisance.”

This will require a municipal judge to issue the order with the goal of getting these properties back under the control of the property owners.

In the meantime, the law enforcement task force set up to disrupt and arrest Venezuelan gang members in these buildings will continue its operations.

The problems associated with Venezuelan gang activity has been isolated to properties that are all under the same out-of-state ownership whose problems with code violations and criminal activity preceded the migrant crisis.

I strongly believe that the best course of action is to shut these building down and make sure that this never happens again.
