ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT CONSIDERED A BATTLEGROUND STATE, FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IS HEADING TO COLORADO.  THE COLORADO SUN REPORTING TRUMP WILL HOLD A RALLY IN AURORA FRIDAY AND THE TOPIC WILL BE IMMIGRATION.  THE VISIT IS ALSO LISTED ON THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN WEBSITE. 

THE RALLY COMES AMID CLAIMS BY TRUMP THAT THE TOWN HAS BEEN TAKEN OVER BY A VENEZUELAN GANG, IN THE COUNTRY ILLEG ALLY.  THE FORMER PRESIDENT HAS STATED THAT IF HE WINS THE ELECTION, HE WILL IMPLEMENT A MASSIVE DEPORTATION PLAN THAT WILL INCLUDE AURORA. 

BACK IN JULY,  THE AURORA POLICE DEPARTMENT POSTED ON “X” THAT IT HAD ARRESTED TWO MEMBERS, AND TWO SUSPECTED MEMBERS OF THE VENEZUELAN GANG KNOWN AS TREN DE ARAGUA OR T-D-A FOR THEIR ALLEGED INVOLVEMENT IN A SHOOTING AT AN AURORA APARTMENT COMPLEX.   THEIR ARRESTS THRUST THE TOPIC OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION INTO THE NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT – ONE OF THE MAJOR ISSUES OF  THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN. 

THE AURORA POLICE DEPARTMENT RELEASED A STATEMENT SAYING, “ based on our initial investigative work, we believe reports of tda influence in aurora are isolated.”   BUT THE CONTROVERSY DID NOT END THERE. 

REPUBLICAN AURORA MAYOR MIKE COFFMAN IS WELCOMING FRIDAY’S TRUMP VISIT.  COFFMAN SAYING “ WE’VE DEALT WITH THE SITUATION FROM A LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSPECTIVE.  I THINK IT WILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE THE NARRATIVE FOR THE CITY. “

ACCORDING TO REAL CLEAR POLITICS,  VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS LEADS DONALD TRUMP IN COLORADO BY 11 POINTS.  HE LOST THE STATE TO JOE BIDEN IN 2020 AS WELL AS HILLARY CLINTON IN 2016.

THE TRUMP RALLY IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE P-M MOUNTAIN TIME AT THE GAYLORD ROCKIES RESORT AND CONVENTION CENTER WHICH IS NEAR THE DENVER AIRPORT.
