President Donald Trump’s administration has launched a major crackdown on the “sanctuary” policies in Colorado and the city of Denver.
Attorney General Pam Bondi has filed a lawsuit against state and city officials for providing “sanctuary” for illegal aliens, the UK Daily Mail reported.
Bondi previously pursued legal action against Chicago, Illinois and Rochester, New York for the same reason.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) asserted the federal government’s authority in immigration law in its legal filing.
“The United States has well-established, preeminent, and preemptive authority to regulate immigration matters,” the lawsuit said.
Bondi said that the state’s lack of cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement violated the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution.
The Justice Department attorneys believe that the state’s “sanctuary policies” contributed to the gang takeover of an apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado.
Democrats downplayed the fact that the Tren de Aragua gang occupied at least five buildings in The Edge at Lowry in the suburban area just outside of Denver.
In February, the structures were condemned due to the dangerous situation the gang’s occupation created.
President Trump made illegal immigration a central issue during the campaign.
At a presidential debate in September, Trump warned about the dire situation in The Edge at Lowry.
“We have millions of people pouring into our country from prisons and jails, from mental institutions and insane asylums,” Trump said at the time, USA Today reported.
“You see what’s happening with towns throughout the United States.
“You look at Springfield, Ohio. You look at Aurora in Colorado.
“They are taking over the towns.
“They’re taking over buildings.
“They’re going in violently,” Trump added.
Trump blamed then-President Joe Biden and former VP Kamala Harris for the situation.
“These are the people that she and Biden let into our country, and they’re destroying our country,” Trump said during the debate with Harris, his Democrat opponent.
“They’re dangerous,” he warned.
“They’re at the highest level of criminality, and we have to get them out.”
Although Democrats and their corporate media accomplices attempted to deny this fact at the time, it was announced in January that the buildings would close the following month.
This is all because the state chose to protect illegal aliens over its citizens.
The residents who once called the apartment complex home finally had their say during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on April 1.
One of those was Cindy Romero, who was forced out by the rampant and dangerous gang activity.
“I am a wife, a mother of five, a grandmother of three, a part-time worker and student, and a former resident of Aurora, Colorado,” she told the committee.
“I am one of the many victims across the nation of the violent transnational terrorist organization Tren de Aragua and a former lifelong Democrat.”
Her testimony was shared on X by Libs of TikTok.
“They brought prostitutes, drugs, guns, and crime,” the caption noted.
“The police were instructed to ignore pleas for help.
“Remember when the media and Democrats said this wasn’t happening?”

It’s about time the people of Aurora, Colorado, and other “sanctuary” jurisdictions see justice being served.
Much to the chagrin of the Democrats, Bondi will continue to go after these places to right the wrongs, just as voters hoped when pulling the lever for Trump.
