The Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua has reportedly taken over several apartment buildings in Aurora, Colorado, leading to arrests for assault and shootings. Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman initially downplayed the situation as "dramatically exaggerated" before the city issued a joint statement acknowledging the gang's presence in specific properties. Local activists have called for safeguards for the immigrant community despite the criminal activity linked to the gang.

President Trump publicly criticized Republican lawmakers who distanced themselves from him during the midterms and subsequently lost their seats. Specifically, Mike Coffman of Colorado, a "Never-Trump" Republican, lost to a political newcomer after refusing the President's support. Trump's reaction to these losses is described as snide, as he suggested that those who did not embrace his platform were doomed to fail.
