Dem Senator Says There Is ‘Moral Obligation’ To Quell Fears About ‘Migrant Crime Wave’

“You don’t have to feed into the irrational fear that Trump is trying to make people feel. And it is important to push back on this idea of a migrant crime wave,” Murphy told MSNBC host Chris Jansing. “We don’t have to accept that as the dominant narrative. Why? Because the data actually tells us that immigrants to this country commit crimes at a rate lower than natural-born Americans. Now, that is an inconvenient narrative for Fox News and for the Trump campaign, but it is true.”

Brutal Venezuelan Gangs Spill Over From Sanctuary Cities Into Unprepared Suburbs

Denver’s decision to welcome migrants with open arms is bringing bloodshed to the suburbs next door. A notorious Venezuelan prison gang has set up shop in Aurora, Colorado — even though the town wanted no part of the influx of asylum seekers in the first place.

Aurora — a quiet bedroom community with a population of 390,000 directly east of the Mile-High City — has become a base of operations for the brutal Tren de Aragua gang, which has seized multiple apartment complexes and set off a wave of violent crime.

Denver leads the nation in new migrant arrivals per-capita, with more than 40,000 arriving from the southern border since December 2022.

Jazz Shaw, HotAir:

Back in February, the Aurora City Council passed a resolution by a 7-3 margin declaring that they would not be providing shelter and services to illegal migrants. Unfortunately for them, the members of the Venezuelan prison gangs apparently didn't take out a subscription to the local newspapers. Tren de Aragua members migrated there in increasing numbers all summer and they immediately began "taking everything they could get their hands on" according to one local police chief. 

One gang leader who set up shop in Aurora became known as "the Cookie Monster." That may sound adorable, but don't be fooled. His actual name is Jhonardy Jose Pacheco-Chirino, but the gang refers to him as “Galleta, which is Spanish for "cookie." He and his gang members quickly took over a local apartment complex. When one resident objected and refused to surrender his apartment, the gang brutally beat him until he required hospitalization. In another incident, two people were wounded when a shooting broke out in the complex.

…. It's interesting to note that when the supposed "Cookie Monster" (who was a known "shot-caller" in the gang in Venezuela) crossed the border illegally in 2022, he was vetted by border authorities who reportedly "didn’t see anything concerning about his past" and released him into the country. Did they even bother to check his tattoos?

He apparently has quite a head for business, however. When "Cookie" and his thugs took over the Fitzsimons Place apartment complex, they beat up or chased off all of the paying tenants. They then began moving newly arrived gang members into the units and set up a retail theft ring robbing the local Walmart repeatedly. The new "tenants" were charged rent to stay there and operate with the gang. One investor who had a financial interest in the Fitzsimons Place complex told reporters that they had completely lost control of several apartment complexes in Aurora. Something more drastic clearly needs to be done. I feel a lot more sympathy for the people of Aurora than I do for the voters of Denver. Aurora never signed up to be a sanctuary city, but they're dealing with the brunt of the damage caused by this invasion nonetheless.

UPDATE: Not that anyone who’s familiar with this moron’s career needs further evidence of his duplicity, but Twitchy has assembled X posts detailing some of his more recent egregious lies.
