A video from an Aurora, Colorado, apartment shows a group of men with firearms storming through the complex, which has reportedly been taken over by Tren de Aragua, a violent Venezuelan gang.The footage, obtained by KDVR, shows five men, four of whom were carrying guns, pounding on the door to a residence at the Edge at Lowry. Moments later, the door appears to open from the inside before the men enter the apartment.'Nobody is helping the Americans that are trapped in these apartment complexes.'A separate video taken at what seems to be an earlier time captured two men standing outside the same residence. One of the men can be seen using a hammer to destroy the door's deadbolt lock. Between the two videos, the apartment door appears to have been replaced. KDVR reported that illegal immigrants have taken over the complex. Since then, the property has become a hotspot for criminal activity.According to the residents who captured the videos, a shootout occurred at the complex shortly before the footage of the armed men was taken. The incident left one individual seriously injured, and several vehicles were damaged.Former residents Cindy and Edward Romero told KDVR that living at the Aurora complex had become "a nightmare."The Romeros' vehicle was riddled with bullets from a shootout that occurred earlier this month.The couple stated that they had trouble getting local organizations to assist them with moving out but were ultimately able to leave, thanks to Aurora City Council member Danielle Jurinsky.Jurinsky told KDVR, "The city nonprofits have lined up to help the migrants that have come here but nobody is helping the Americans that are trapped in these apartment complexes.""This isn't just Americans. Other Venezuelans are being extorted by this gang," she added.According to Jurinsky, TDA has overrun the apartment complex.Jurinsky told Fox News Digital, “In the entire Denver metro area, it has been like pulling teeth to get anyone, the media, other elected officials, to get anyone to acknowledge the presence of this trend and to acknowledge that there is even a problem.”Aurora previously passed a resolution stating that it would not provide resources to illegal immigrants arriving in the city. However, approximately nine miles away, the sanctuary city of Denver is spending generous amounts of taxpayers' funds on illegal aliens. Denver's promise of assistance is attracting more individuals to the area, who are then spilling over into Aurora.The Aurora Police Department has formed a special task force to "specifically address concerns" regarding TDA and "other criminal activity affecting migrant communities."The city has confirmed that it is "increasingly collecting evidence to show the gang is connected to crimes in the area." However, city officials stated that the TDA's influence is "isolated."The massive uptick in illegal immigrants arriving in the Denver and Aurora areas has prompted increased costs and homelessness. A recent poll found that Colorado residents' top concern is the area's cost of living, followed by homelessness, cost of health care, drug overdoses, crime, mental health, jobs and the economy, and illegal immigration.Dave Metz, president of Democratic-aligned FM3 Research, stated, "This year's Pulse Poll results don't just show that Coloradans perceive housing issues as a problem — they see them as a crisis."Like Blaze News?

The campaign for a left-leaning candidate running for city council in Oakland, California, got off to a bad start after a homeless woman apparently stole a bag full of donations during a campaign kickoff rally over the weekend.On Sunday, Charlene Wang, 33, hosted an event at a local park to launch her campaign for the open seat on the Oakland City Council. As the event wrapped up, a women described as homeless and "clearly mentally disturbed" by the California Globe suddenly began swiping several bags and purses, reports claimed.'Tirelessly fighting for disadvantaged communities by launching new social programs at all levels of government for homelessness, education, healthcare, and environmental justice.'Wang was able to wrestle most of the purses, including her own and her mother's, back. However, the homeless woman apparently kept hold and wouldn't let go of the bag containing a host of donation checks collected at the rally.According to video, Wang and her team attempted to reason with the woman in hopes of convincing her to give the bag back — to no avail. "I very much tried to have a de-escalatory conversation with her to convince her to hand over the bag," Wang said, according to KGO. "Offer her a warm meal at the grocery store, even give her money in exchange for the bag, but that did not work out."Wang also attempted to solicit the help of those involved with the Mobile Assistance Community Responders of Oakland Program, which offers "community response ... for non-violent, non-emergency 911 calls" in the city. Unfortunately, the ostensible social workers weren't available during the weekend, KGO indicated.Finally, fearing that the situation was escalating out of control, Wang resorted to contacting law enforcement. Unfortunately, police weren't available to respond either."They said there were 250 calls ahead of us, and they said they would actually come by to take a report afterwards," Wang told KGO.After allegedly throwing food and, in the words of the California Globe, "flashing her whatevers," the suspected thief reportedly wandered away, donation bag still in hand. Wang estimated that the bag contained about $1,000 worth of checks. According to the California Globe, Wang has asked donors to stop payment on those checks.Despite the apparent theft, Wang harbors no ill will against the suspect. "I am not angry at her or anything like that," she insisted."I can only imagine the trauma she is going through having to live on the streets."Wang, who is running on a platform of reducing crime and helping the homeless, was left frustrated and confused by the silence from Oakland police. As of Wednesday, they still had not come to investigate the issue, Wang claimed."I think this is yet another example of first responder service. I was left to fend for myself in an essence," she said.The New York Post reached out to the police department for comment.Wang's campaign website brags about her work on campaigns for former President Barack Obama and failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton as well as her previous work to help the homeless in Massachusetts. The website further notes that Wang identifies as LBGTQ+ and claims that she has dedicated her life "to tirelessly fighting for disadvantaged communities by launching new social programs at all levels of government for homelessness, education, healthcare, and environmental justice."Even with those leftist bona fides, Wang is still surprised by the association between leftists and anti-cop sentiment. "I’m frustrated by the idea that progressives are automatically anti-police, that we don’t care about public safety," she said, per the California Globe."That is the state of the first responders in Oakland, and that’s why I’m running."Like Blaze News?

Former Democratic Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard recently exposed that she had been put on the TSA’s “Quiet Skies” watchlist, which is often used for tracking potential domestic terrorists. And after endorsing former President Trump — she’s still on the watchlist. “I’m the most recent target for the Kamala Harris administration. For criticizing Kamala Harris, they put me on a secret domestic terror watch list, which I’m told is still operational and still going on,” Gabbard tells Glenn Beck. But that’s not her only concern with the current and potentially future administration. “On the issue of war and peace, which doesn’t get talked about often enough in these presidential elections, but really is core to our ability to live in a free and peaceful and prosperous society. Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have gotten us embroiled in multiple wars in different parts of the world,” Gabbard explains. “It is directly because of their foreign policy that we sit here one spark away from nuclear war,” she continues, while Glenn notes that Kamala’s DNC speech really did make her sound like a warmonger. “I was shocked, it was almost like part of her acceptance speech at the convention was written by John Bolton. I mean she sounded like an absolute hawk, like Lindsey Graham, when it comes to war,” Glenn says. “It didn’t surprise me,” Gabbard explains. “It was just another proof point showing that Joe Biden hasn’t been calling the shots and making decisions over the last three and a half years. If Kamala Harris is elected president, neither will she.” “She is the latest figurehead for the military industrial complex, the deep state, national security state, all of those who derive the mainstream propaganda media, those who derive power or profit from us being in a constant state of war, wrote those talking points.” “And that script was fed into that teleprompter, and Kamala Harris declared it loud and proud,” Gabbard continues, adding, “So we know exactly who she’ll be working for.” Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

The baseball park used in the classic film "A League of Their Own" tragically burned down, leaving locals devastated with some saying they heard an explosion.Jay Littleton Ball Park in Ontario, California, burned to the ground in a five-alarm fire completely destroying the bleachers and dugouts that were seen in the movie. The scoreboard is still standing.The park was the backdrop for the 1992 movie starring Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, and Madonna (among others) on an all-women's baseball team that struggled to help their league succeed without men during World War II. 'In the past, they've broken into the building and cut the gas line so they could hook up their own gas.'In a press release, the Ontario Fire Department said that 51 personnel responded to the fire and contained it to building of origin.The fire department added that the ball park was a local landmark for nearly 90 years and featured all-wooden grandstands that were constructed in 1937.No victims were located, and the fire's main cause remained under investigation at the time of this writing. — (@) At least one local resident suspected foul play; Aaron Matthiesen, president of the Ontario Eastern Little League, told Fox 11 Los Angeles that homelessness has been rampant in the park."We constantly have issues with the homeless at the park," Matthiesen said. "In the past, they've broken into the building and cut the gas line so they could hook up their own gas.""It's just fallen in disarray, and I unfortunately think that's what happened," he added.The little league president said that another resident had told him "they heard an explosion" and then saw the flames. "I'm hoping no one was inside. But yeah, homelessness has been a huge problem here at the park."Matthiesen told reporters from ABC 7 that local residents were crying in the streets over the ordeal as so many children play there."There's a president from a neighboring league across the street who I was just talking with. One of the parents, one of our coaches is down the street. He's sitting there crying on the side of the road because this ball park has been the heart of Ontario," the baseball lover went on."It's a historical ball park place to play for our kids. And now, unfortunately, we're not going to be able to get a chance to play in it anymore."Ontario's director of communications, Dan Bell, spoke on the significance of the park's history in an interview with Entertainment Weekly."It's a terrible loss for our community," he told the outlet. "Everyone here either played or had relatives or kids who played on that field over the years. In its 87 years of existence, a lot of people played on that field."The official added that the city will have to take a close look at how to move forward with the field due to its historical significance.Like Blaze News?
