Colorado Landlord to Sell Apartment Complex Amid Venezuelan Gang Crisis

Agreement reached to drop charges against landlord in exchange for sale and security measures at troubled property.

The Aspen Grove apartment complex in Aurora has been overtaken by the Tren de Aragua gang, leading to severe deterioration.
Local officials agreed to drop charges against the landlord, Baumgarten, contingent on the sale or lease of the property.
Baumgarten's company will also cover up to $60,000 in cleanup and security costs for the complex.
Federal and local authorities are intensifying efforts to address the gang's presence and activities in the area.
The Biden administration has designated Tren de Aragua as a significant transnational criminal organization.
