Perkins Coie, a law firm based in Denver, discovered that the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang began taking over the Whispering Pines Apartments in Aurora, Colorado towards the end of 2023.
This firm was hired to investigate this gang’s alleged takeover of the Aurora apartment complex. After taking over the complex, the gang has been allegedly involved in assaults, murder threats, extortion, coercion, and child sex trafficking. The law firm shared its discoveries with leaders such as Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman, Aurora City Manager Jason Batchelor, and the city’s interim police chief on August 9, 2024.
“The evidence we have reviewed indicates that gang members are engaging in flagrant trespass violations, assaults and battery, human trafficking and sexual abuse of minors, unlawful firearms possession, extortion, and other criminal activities, often targeting vulnerable Venezuelan and other immigrant populations,” T. Markus Funk, a former United States Attorney, wrote in the Perkins Coie report.
The firm apparently represents the lender for Whispering Pines Apartments, 1357 Helena Street, one of multiple Aurora apartment complexes allegedly under the control of the Tren de Aragua gang. The law firm claims to have interviewed witnesses and looked over video footage from the Whispering Pines for its probe.
“Tren de Aragua has threatened to kill (and, in certain instances, has apparently actively attempted to kill) members of Whispering Pines management…” the report highlighted.
Investigators interviewed the property manager who boasts 15 years of experience in the apartment property management sector. The property manager stated, “He had never seen anything remotely like the Tren de Aragua takeover of Whispering Pines in his entire career.” Whispering Pines has 54 apartments within its domain with rents ranging from $1450 to $2000 monthly. Per the report, the tenants tend to be working-class Hispanic families with children.
The property manager informed the law firm that he began his job in January 2024, but that Tren de Aragua had already been active in the apartment complex before he started his job. In November 2023, the report details how a consultant for the property management company was “so severely beaten and stomped by gang members that he had to go to the hospital.” The report claims the assault was unprovoked.
“The gang activity at Whispering Pines escalated in 2024,” per the document CBS News Colorado was able to get its hands on. In April 2024, a tenant frantically called the property manager “informing him that two individuals at the property went into an apartment, came out with large firearms, and were coming to kill him (the property manager).” The individuals were apparently behind on rent payments.
The property manager stated, “that the two individuals were arrested as they were coming to kill him.” The report claimed the men, who were wielding “large firearms,” were part of a gang.
The property manager added that “gang members allegedly stabbed a Whispering Pines resident for refusing to pay “rent” to the Venezuelan gang. Since then, the apartment complex has recorded footage of gang members pounding on doors and, “without authorization or any other justification, attempting to collect rent from the tenants of Whispering Pines…”
In June, the report detailed how suspected gang members went up to the property manager and proposed to help out the manager “if he agreed to pay the gang 50% of everything the property management company collected in rent.”
The investigators who penned the report described this as an “organized crime tactic.” From there, gang members would start taking over vacant units at Whispering Pines and would begin forcing tenants to pay rent. “This is our business plan,” one gang member told a housekeeper. “If he (property manager) doesn’t like it, we’ll fill him with bullets.”
After that incident, the report claims video footage depicts Tren de Aragua gang members forcibly entering apartments, busting doors open, and moving Venezuelan immigrants into the vacant apartments.
“This conduct’s brazen and public nature further exhibits the suspected gang members’ sense of comfort and control consistent with their taking over the property and not fearing the law enforcement of the property management.” Investigators said in concluding remarks that gang members have been extorting “rents” from residents they placed into vacant apartment units.
America is essentially for sale and ripe for the taking because of the simple fact that the treasonous ruling classes left the borders wide open and has turned the US into a shopping mall and not an organic nation.
As long as the political order of open borders remains intact, gangs like Tren de Aragua will expand their influence within the US. A nationalist movement is the only antidote to the disease of multiculturalism that the parasitic ruling class has imposed on the American populace.
