Oct 11, 2024, 08:16 PM

Former President Donald Trump held a rally in Aurora, Colorado, where he criticized Democratic politicians, particularly Kamala Harris and Governor Jared Polis, for their handling of crime and immigration. Trump claimed that Harris has allowed an influx of illegal alien gang members and migrant criminals, specifically mentioning the Venezuelan prison gang 'Tren de Aragua,' which has allegedly taken over multiple apartment complexes in Aurora. He vowed to 'make Colorado safe again' and proposed invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to dismantle illegal migrant criminal networks. Trump also announced 'Operation Aurora,' a federal program to remove illegal migrant members of the Venezuelan gang. He declared November 5, 2024, as 'Liberation Day' and received an endorsement from a sheriff in one of Colorado's largest counties during the rally.
