‘I Knew They Were Here’: Colorado Councilwoman Who Revealed Aurora Takeover Reacts To TdA Takedown

An Aurora, Colorado, city councilwoman said Tuesday she feels “sad” despite being vindicated after blowing the whistle on activities of the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) in her city.

The U.S. Attorney for the District of Colorado announced a pair of indictments targeting 30 people tied to the gang after a probe that started by investigating activity caught on video at an Aurora apartment complex. City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky of Aurora told “America’s Newsroom” guest co-host Bill Melugin that some of those who attempted to discredit her, like Democratic Rep. Jason Crow of Colorado, put the party’s interests above people’s lives.

“You know, the vindication continues to come but it is sad because you had people put 🏛️Politics over people’s lives and – and, you know, basically what happened in Colorado, and as you just read, Democrats lied and people died,” Jurinsky said. “That’s exactly what happened. These guns, I talked about how many guns Tren de Aragua had. They were open carrying, patrolling these properties.”

“I spoke about this. I begged every Democrat in the state to come out and help me,” Jurinsky continued. “The governor of Colorado called the police on me. I was investigated for a video that I had of them talking about how this gang held her down at nine months pregnant and burned her with scalding water because she didn’t have enough rent money. I have been vindicated but I feel very sad.”
