In July 2024, the Aurora Police Department posted on X that it had arrested two confirmed members and two suspected members of the Venezuelan gang known as Tren de Aragua, or TdA, for their alleged involvement in a shooting at an Aurora apartment complex. Their arrests thrust the topic of illegal immigration into the national spotlight, which is also a major issue in 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.” However, the controversy has continued.

Republican Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman is welcoming the Trump visit on Friday, saying he believes it will give the city an opportunity to change the narrative.

Polls show Donald Trump is behind Vice President Kamala Harris in Colorado by double digits in the race for the White House.

The Trump rally is set for 1 p.m. at the Gaylord Rockies Resort and Convention Center, near Denver International Airport.
