Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is preparing to crank up its operations in more major U.S. cities, with Aurora, Colorado, standing out as a key target in the fight against crime. It’s about time the federal agency gets serious about these issues, especially after the chaos inflicted by unchecked immigration policies that have made life more perilous for law-abiding citizens.
Aurora has recently become ground zero in the battle against the Tren de Argua gang, a group that looks like it’s straight out of a bad crime drama. These thugs have taken over apartment complexes, intimidating residents and demanding they pay their rent to the gang instead of the actual landlords. Talk about living in a real-life horror movie! Thanks to the Biden administration’s relaxed immigration policies, a concerning influx of Venezuelans, including gang members, has spilled into the U.S., exacerbating the crime issue. Perhaps if the administration could lift its head from the sand for a moment, it might notice the implications of its decisions.

In a shocking turn of events, armed gang members were seen in a viral video strutting through residential hallways, clearly showing they had no fear of law enforcement. Just weeks later, however, Aurora’s police finally grew a backbone and made over a dozen arrests, despite their previous claims that gangs were nonexistent in the city. All the while, desperate residents were fleeing, and the apartments became ghost complexes, a haunting reminder of what happens when the rule of law is not respected.
But the impending ICE operations in Aurora won’t stand alone. Multiple cities across the nation are on the radar for intensified federal attention, and it sounds like the “all hands on deck” approach is gaining momentum. Federal authorities are urging local ICE officers to ramp up their enforcement, with a target of up to 1,500 criminal arrests per day. While this figure is framed as a “goal” rather than a requirement, it sends a loud message that the government is finally ready to hold accountable those who have overstayed their welcome.
However, the left isn’t sitting idly by. Organizations like Catholic Charities are mobilizing with tactics fit for a farce, encouraging illegal immigrants to resist ICE officers. Simultaneously, public schools in Los Angeles are distributing “red cards” designed to embolden illegals to assert their so-called “rights” during any confrontations with ICE. It appears that instead of advocating for legal pathways, some groups are intent on fostering an environment of defiance against the very laws designed to protect citizens.
While ICE gears up for action, one can only hope that Aurora and other cities will finally be cleared of these gangbangers who think they can run roughshod over communities. It’s time for law and order to prevail and to send a clear message that crime, especially from foreign gangs, will not be tolerated in America
