    Tren de Aragua is now an all purpose excuse in Colorado. Who made the slumlord not collect the trash? Tren de Aragua. Who messed up the Airbnb with a wild party? Tren de Aragua. Who pooped my pants? Tren de Aragua.

      Didn’t someone (Liberation News maybe?) go there and it basically turned out to be this? Like slumlords were using it as an excuse to basically never visit the properties or do basic repairs.

        Yeah, that slumlord was the start of this current round of “Venezuelan supergang taking over Aurora, CO” hysteria. He’s been doing slumlord shit for years and the state finally decided to do some kind of enforcement so he made up this Tren de Aragua story.
