Migrant gang activity in Aurora, Colorado , is making residents feel threatened and some are avoiding the town all together because it, locals told DailyMail.com Speaking to a crowd of thousands on Friday in Aurora, Colorado, Donald Trump hammered Joe Biden and Kamala Harris 's immigration policies, blaming them for local migrant gang activity. Reports of the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua (TDA) operating in Aurora went viral in August after a video showed men with rifles and handguns threatening apartment residents before a 25-year-old man was shot and killed. Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, though, has said TDA's presence in the area does not surmount to a takeover or the 'war zone' Trump has described. But the MAGA faithful who showed up to Trump's rally Friday were adamant that safety in Aurora is worse off because of the gang activity.

Matthew McConaughey appeared at the National Governors Association on Friday in Salt Lake City. While there, he had a chance to sit on a panel with Governor Spencer Cox of Utah, a Republican, and Governor Jared Polis of Colorado, a Democrat, to discuss how to promote civility in politics. And the Dallas Buyers Club star, 54, also talked about his own political ambitions. 'I'm on a learning tour and have been for probably the last six years,' McConaughey told New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat, per ABC News. 'Do I have the instincts and intellect that it would be a good fit for me and I would be a good for it. You know, would I be useful?'

Officials in Elbert, Garfield, Mesa, and Rio Blanco counties have joined a suit originally filed by Douglas and El Paso counties that challenges two Colorado immigration laws, which they claim have stemmed their ability to effectively confront the flood of migrants in their state. Colorado has faced the crisis at the southern border head on, as more than 40,000 illegal migrants have found their way into the Rocky Mountain state, many via bus from the border. The counties suing, which say they collectively represent some 25 percent of the state's population, are arguing that Democratic Governor Jared Polis has instated several 'unconstitutional immigration laws.'

The new law would encourage terminally ill individuals from out-of-state to fly to Colorado to end their lives, in accordance with similar legislation in Oregon and Vermont. It will also allow these people to die within 48 hours of request, rather than the 15 days that are now required.

Since being released into the wild in Colorado last month, a new map has shown where a pack of endangered wolves have ventured to. In December, ten grey wolves were unleashed in a remote forest in Colorado's Rocky Mountains. The ten hunters, as well as two that were previously released, covered a 4,500 square miles throughout Colorado since Governor Jared Polis unleashed the beasts from a collection of crates one month ago. The vast territory of Kremmling, Colorado, included Jackson, Routt, Eagle, Summit, and Grand counties, which is where they began.

Randy Roedema, the only Colorado cop found guilty of murdering Elijah McClain, has been sentenced to 14 months in prison. In August 2019, Elijah McClain, 23, was arrested by police after walking home from a convenience store in Aurora. By Aurora Fire Rescue paramedics, McClain, a massage therapist who offered to play violin to help animals in a local shelter, was put in a neck lock by police officer Randy Roedema and given an overdose of ketamine.

Following a hearing in state district court, Aurora Fire Rescue paramedics Jeremy Cooper and Peter Cichuniec were found guilty of criminally negligent homicide on Friday. According to investigators, the paramedics did not perform basic medical checks of McClain, such as taking his pulse, before giving him the ketamine. Experts said the dose was too much for someone of his height - 140 pounds. After giving McClain the sedative, they say they did not investigate him immediately, but instead left him lying on the ground, making it harder to breathe. McClain's pleading words, 'I'm an introvert and I'm different,' struck a chord with protesters and viewers around the world, capturing him on camera - 'I'm an introvert and I'm different.'

On Tuesday, Denver police officer Nathan Woodyard (left) appeared at the Adams County Justice Center in Brighton, Colorado, in connection with Elijah McClain's (right) death on August 30, 2019. Woodyard is one of several police officers convicted of the tragedy, and his charges follow after his colleague Randy Roedema was found guilty of criminally negligent murder and third degree assault by a different jury last week. In the meantime, Jason Rosenblatt, another Denver officer, was found not guilty of any charges, and two EMTs are now awaiting trial. Stephen Cina, the doctor who administered McClain's autopsy, said he died of ketamine-related diseases, but he also noted that the incident occurred after compulsory restraint.

Since 21,000 new migrants arrived in Denver this year, Denver's liberal government has asked officials at border towns to warn asylum seekers to stay away from the Colorado capital. The Mile High city, as well as other liberal cities like Chicago and NYC, has been struggling with migrants being bused north by conservative governors trying to make a case about what they see as open-border Democratic policies, according to them. Around 2,510 migrants are currently in temporary shelters in the city. Matthew Mueller, the executive director of the Office of Emergency Management, has asked officials in Brownsville, El Paso, Houston, and Dallas to alert migrants that Denver's 'new arrivals will no longer have the same number of sheltering services.'

John Mark Karr, 58, claimed 17 years ago that he was with JonBenét when she died one decade before at her family's house in Boulder, Colorado. Her death was a "accident" and he had adored her, and he was "very sorry" for JonBenét's death.' Authorities extradited Karr from Thailand in 2006, but they were eventually unable to connect him to the crime scene, which was why they were compelled to release him. 'I am not crazy,' Karr said in a private interview with The Messenger. I am not delusional.'

Jaiden, a 12-year-old boy, and his mother had refused to apologise after wearing the historic Gadsden flag patch to school, which one staffer described as "disruptive to the classroom environment." Now, the school has opted to reverse the decision to prohibit Jaiden from wearing the patch, despite his defiance now making him well-known amongst his classmates. 'Today was a good day,' Jaiden said in a video shared on Twitter.' The kids were so excited. They're putting 'don't tread on me' on their lockers. They like me all of the sudden.

Jaiden, 12, and his mother talking to an administrator from The Vanguard School who said that the flag had 'origines with slavery,' according to a video.' The staffer claims that the patch was "disruptive to the classroom environment," as she said it has 'origins with slavery.' He was told that the patch, which has the word "Don't Tread on Me" emblazoned on it, was against the district's policy, and he was not allowed to return to class without removing it. The pupil was told by the teacher: So the reason that they do not want the flag is because the flag does not have to be displayed - not because the flag is not displayed - is because of slavery and slave trade. But Colorado Gov. Joe Lamarca sent him to his aid. Instead, Jared Polis, who weighed in on the subject, denied that the flag was racial and said it was a 'good teaching moment.'

In one of the toughest tightening of gun control in the state's history, Colorado governor Jared Polis (left) signed four gun regulations into law on Friday. As he passed the landmark law, he said, "Coloradans are entitled to be safe in our communities." It comes following the deaths of four school shootings in the state since 2017, which have claimed a total of 23 people.

Jared Polis, Colorado's Democratic governor, signed three bills into law that codifies safeguards for transgender health and abortion, making the state a democratic safe haven in the midst of surrounding red states such as Wyoming, Utah, and Texas. According to the three bills that went into operation last week, visitors visiting Colorado from Republican-led states with restrictions on certain aspects of healthcare will be able to do so without fear of being retaliated by their home state legislators.

Felipe Rodriguez, a row hotel employee, of row, released photographs and videos showing migrants drinking, dancing, and destroying the expensive hotel, where New York taxpayers are footing the bill. Migrants who came in from the border are temporarily housed in this five-star Manhattan hotel The Row NYC, a $500-a-night hotel in Times Square's tourist hotspot. But the employees, including Felipe Rodriguez, had enough. "It's a disgrace," Rodriguez said on 'The Ingraham Angle' this week. He posted videos and photos of the chaos.

In the latest tense discussion of immigration, White House Press Secretary John Kerry said that misinformation about immigration policy' helps the smugglers" who carry migrants across the border. She was asked to comment on a surge in border crossings, with 6,000-7,000 people crossing the southern border each day, amid confusion about the future of Title 42 border policy.

Mayor Eric Adams of New York has accused Colorado's Democrat governor of launching a 'unfair' proposal to bring an influx of migrants to the Big Apple. On Monday night, Colorado's mayor, Jared Polis, called the NYC mayor to inform him that large numbers of migrants would be relocated to the city. On Tuesday morning, Adams sluggishly condemned the scheme and insisted that New York has taken its fair share of migrants, saying, 'There's no more space at the inn.' The row marks a rare clash between two senior Democrats on the issue of migrants crossing the Mexican border into the United States. Previous rows have concentrated on Republican states like Texas, Florida, and Arizona, which took a much more tolerant approach to the issue. During a radio appearance on Tuesday morning, Adams said, 'We were notified yesterday that the governor of Colorado has now declared that migrants are headed to places such as New York and Chicago.'

More than a year before Anderson Lee Aldrich reportedly carried out the deadly Colorado gay nightclub shooting, the perpetrator had threatened to murder their grandparents for being in the way of an elaborate plot to become 'the next mass killer.' 'You guys die today, and I'm taking you with me,' they said. 'I'm loaded and ready.' According to sealed law enforcement reports obtained by The Associated Press in June 2021, Aldrich's rage erupted in June 2021 as the grandparents revealed they were selling their house and moving to Florida. In the 'basement's attempt to conduct a mass shooting and bombing, Aldrich's plans to stockpile arms, ammo, body armour, and a homemade bomb would have harmed.' However, Aldrich's charges were dismissed, and there was no attempt to capture the individual's handgun under Colorado's'red flag' rule. Aldrich was allowed to carry out the plot to become 'the next mass killer.'

Five people were killed when heroic clubbers opened fire at an LGBTQ club in Colorado Springs, killing five others. Anderson Lee Aldrich, 22, launched a volley of bullets from his rifle inside Club Q shortly before midnight on Saturday, where partygoers were commemorating the Transgender Day of Remembrance, with 25 people wounded. One patron managed to grab the attacker's handgun and screamed him with it until another attendee helped pin him down just four minutes after the assault began. At least two brave people within the club confronted and murdered the criminal,' according to police chief Adrian Vasquez, and they were able to prevent the criminal from continuing to murder and hurt others.' Michael Anderson, a bartender who was cowering on the club's patio when the gunman was defeated, said: "There were some really brave people beating him and kicking him out of harm," the bartender said. Last night, they saved my life.' Hundreds of mourners attended a vigil last night near the club, as emotional candlelit tributes were laid to honor those who were killed and injured.
