an agreement between the city and Nome Partners details that city officials agreed to drop dozens of charges against the Aspen Grove apartment complex landlord for failing to maintain the property.

The charges against the landlord also stem from his other property, which was shown in a viral video where members of Tren de Aragua (TdA), the violent Venezuelan migrant gang, took over an apartment by busting down the door with heavy artillery.

The agreement states that in exchange for dropping charges, Baumgarten agreed to waive his right to a speedy trial and Nome Partners LLC agreed to sell or lease the property, and, among other things, pay up to $60,000 of the costs to clean up and secure the complex,

One investor told The Denver Post that police knew about the gang problem for nearly a year.

In letters obtained by the Denver Gazette, the investor said the situation had gotten so out of control that they reached out to local officials seeking help to remove the TdA members, which the lawyer claimed had “forcibly taken control” of the property.

The property’s landlord also inquired about hiring off-duty police officers to provide security for the property, a request that the Aurora Police Department reportedly declined.

“Under your leadership, the ******* States has lost control of our southern border,” Lopez wrote in a letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Wednesday urging him to “immediately issue a directive” to the local Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office “to aggressively apprehend, detain and deport any members of TdA or other known foreign ********* gangs, located in the state of Colorado” with a specific focus on Denver suburbs like Aurora.
