This video is shocking.
Heavily armed men, reportedly members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, entered an apartment building in Aurora, Colorado, and local residents said the complex had been taken over by the gang.
Residents of the apartment complex who were unable to escape are living in fear, waiting for the next shootout.
Blame it on nearby “sanctuary city” Denver, which has the highest number of immigrants per capita of any U.S. city, having accepted more than 40,000 since December 2022.
Some of them may be good people, and some of them belong to the same ruthless criminal organisation as the man accused, José Ibarra, a member of Tren de Aragua. Attack and Kill Laken Riley, 22, a nursing student at the University of Georgia (photographed in February).
The Aurora video is just the latest report in the ongoing migrant crisis, one that will no doubt be quickly forgotten in the relentless shifting news cycle.
But Szabó, the dissident street artist, was determined to do what he could to keep our attention on what was happening in Aurora, and the larger crisis it represents, for at least a few more minutes.
He told Align magazine: “I set this up last night in Aurora, Colorado, on Nome Street, which is a street with apartment buildings. [in the video] I was holding them up and saying the Lord's Prayer.”
“Within a few hours, half of it was destroyed,” he added.
But before the local newspapers took notice. “Racist” and “anti-immigrant” Sign.
Unsurprisingly, Sabo disagrees with that portrayal.
“Racists” [using] “Our tax dollars are being used to put violent illegal immigrants, not immigrants, on our streets to terrorize the poorest people of color in our communities,” he said.
Sabo's latest installation is It debuted earlier this month At the Democratic National Convention in Chicago It fired the imagination Denver Mayor Mike Johnston and Colorado Governor Jared Polis (both Democrats)
Szabó remains unfazed by these notable critics: Like any artist, he's content just to get his work out there.
“This is a master class in how to take six signs that only a few people have seen and turn them into a story that reaches thousands of people,” he says. “Thank you, liberal press.”
Below you'll find some images from Sabo's latest exhibition.
