In this episode, we dive deep into a viral story that has gone viral in just a few short days. It's a story about a migrant encampment in Aurora, Colorado that has been the center of nationwide attention for its alleged overrun by Tren de Aragua gang members. The problem is, there's no evidence that this is actually the case. In fact, a communist collective group is running cover and trying to change the narrative for the City of Aurora and Denver. And they're using the migrant issue to do so. Join us as we dig deep into this story and learn more about what's going on in the migrant camp and why it's been going viral in the eyes of the media and the general public. Charlie and the Turning Point USA Frontlines team are on the ground at the Aurora compound, and they're joined by the legendary Savannah Hernandez, who is on-the-ground with a breaking story that's gone viral.

00:01:57.000So, of course, we're on the ground for the Turning Point USA Frontlines team, and we were actually at that same apartment complex that has been in the news for allegedly being overrun by Tren de Aragua.
00:02:08.000Now, as we approached the apartment yesterday, there was actually a huge protest going on outside, and it looked like the migrants organically Organized this protest to say, actually this reporting has been wrong.
00:02:34.000We went inside the apartment complexes.
00:02:37.000It looked like a very, very bad scene there.
00:02:39.000Now, I actually did some investigating, and it was actually the East Colfax Community Collective that was here organizing this protest, because as we all know, this apartment has garnered national attention for being potentially overrun by gangs.
00:02:56.000We have seen all of these stories from Colorado residents saying, hey, I'm scared to take my kids to the park.
00:03:02.000There is definitely gang violence here.
00:03:03.000The migrant issue has gotten out of control.
00:03:06.000And then yesterday, we see the migrants telling a different story.
00:03:09.000Well, it's because this communist group actually organized this event.
00:03:13.000They were writing these signs for the migrants in English saying that there were no gangs.
00:03:17.000They instructed the migrants to say that there were no gangs in this area.
00:03:21.000I'm here with Jonathan Cho who went and spoke to different migrants at the same apartment complex and also residents surrounding the area who said that there is very much gang violence in the area and there were also bullet holes in the windows as well.
00:03:35.000What I wanted to break here on your show, Charlie, is that this specific group ...is also funded by the City of Aurora and the City of Denver, so this communist collective group is now running cover and trying to change the narrative for the City of Aurora and Denver and say that Tren de Aragua is really not an issue here, when in fact it is.
00:04:21.000I'm not saying that there's not gang members that don't live in this community, but what we're learning out here is that I can tell you that gang members have not taken over this apartment complex.
00:04:34.000Alright y'all, so we are outside of that apartment complex that has been in the news all week for allegedly being overrun by Tren de Agua.
00:04:42.000Now, the East Colfax Community Collective, which is a communist-aligned group, was saying that actually this area is completely safe, that there's no gang members.
00:04:51.000This, of course, comes after the city is calling to evict people out of this building and shut it down because of the violence.
00:04:57.000Now, the migrants are saying the area is safe, that there's no gang members at all, the communist group saying the exact same thing, but we're surveilling the area and as you guys can see, the actual building has bullet holes.
00:05:10.000Okay, this bullet hole actually goes all the way through to the other side.
00:05:18.000As well, so it seems like the building is telling a different story and we are going to try to talk to residents in the area because I have seen differing narratives surrounding this specific apartment complex and Tren de Aragua.
00:05:48.000So we had Jonathan Cho go back last night and speak to residents and he actually spoke to one who was in a hurry and he states that quote Mexicans have been going door to door and asking for money and essentially extorting residents.
00:06:03.000Now, the migrants themselves have even admitted that Trenderagua and gangs are in the area, but because the city is threatening to evict them and shut this place down, again, this group has come in and instructed them to say, well, yes, there's gangs, but they're in just different apartment complexes.
00:06:20.000So there absolutely is a big issue here.
00:06:22.000And it's really crazy to see groups like this one come in and try to rewrite history essentially with what's going on.
00:06:30.000And Charlie, I wanted to add as well that this is the same group that back during the winter told migrants to camp under a bridge in Denver.
00:06:38.000to try to essentially strong arm the city into giving them more resources. They wrote out a
00:06:43.000list of 13 demands for the migrants requesting culturally appropriate food, free showers for
00:06:49.000on no time limit, free immigration lawyers. So this same group has been working alongside these
00:06:56.000migrants extensively to try to, again, rewrite narratives, cover up what's really going on.
00:07:03.000I know from the community as well, there is a sense of fear of, okay, I'm not really going to speak out about what's happening here because there is that aspect of gang violence.
00:07:12.000But again, residents on the ground and migrants themselves who were not a part of this group and this protest yesterday, telling a very different story and saying that Tren de Aragua, of course, is very dangerous.
00:07:23.000And I do want to just remind viewers as well, This is the same gang, the same Venezuelan prison gang that is linked to the death of Lakin Riley, that was linked to the shooting of two NYPD police officers earlier this year.
00:07:35.000They've given the green light for their members to shoot and attack police officers.
00:07:40.000There was also a very violent jewelry heist here in Denver in which Trenderagua members pistol whipped two women.
00:07:46.000So everything that's happening in the community is counter to what, again, this communist group is trying to say.
00:07:53.000The gang is very much here on the scene.
00:07:58.000I know this is a difficult thing to ascertain, but based on your reporting, how many people here are here illegally in this complex or in that area versus American citizens or people that are supposed to be in our country?
00:08:12.000So the interesting thing about this apartment complex is that a lot of the U.S.
00:08:16.000residents were either evicted or they've left the area and the majority of them are illegals.
00:08:22.000And I know that they're illegals because they were talking to us about work permits, which they were given by the Biden administration because they are Venezuelans.
00:08:30.000So again, pretty much all of them here are illegal immigrants and they've overtaken many of these apartment complexes, many of these hotels in both the Denver and the Aurora area.
00:08:41.000Uh, you know, back in February, Aurora actually passed a resolution saying, hey, Denver might be a sanctuary city, but we aren't, so we don't want to have to deal with this.
00:08:49.000We are not going to be providing resources for these migrants.
00:08:52.000But because the issue has gotten so out of hand in Denver, fun fact, They actually have the largest amount of migrants per capita in the entire nation in the city of Denver.
00:09:02.000Because the issue is so bad over there, they've obviously leaked into Aurora and now the community is really feeling the effects of this and you're seeing entire apartment complexes similar to this one that are completely overtaken.
00:09:12.000In this footage on screen right now, the people that you're seeing there that are American are again a part of that communist group that are trying to keep the illegals here in the United States and get more resources from the city and state.
00:10:57.000Savannah, tell the audience, you've done a lot of reporting on the border and at the migrant shelters.
00:11:02.000There's 320,000 missing kids right now that we know of.
00:11:05.000How bad is the child sex trafficking issue on the southern border?
00:11:09.000I mean, this is something that I've looked at for a long time, Charlie, and going to the border myself, I've seen, you know, a lot of horrific things, like children themselves just being left by the borders, by the cartels.
00:11:20.000I mean, we know that this is a really huge issue, like you just said.
00:11:24.000You know, the original number was, what, 85,000 children that were lost under the Biden-Harris administration, and that number is now over 300,000.
00:11:33.000So this is something else that we're also working on in the Frontlines Division, is trying to find some of these children and figure out what has happened to them.
00:11:40.000I've been doing some investigation and, you know, on top of the sex trafficking, the human trafficking that we're seeing of these children, a lot of them are also ending up working in factories, a lot of them, you know, over in Michigan, in very unsafe environments, and they're being exploited.
00:11:56.000So this is what is happening to children under the current administration and it's been really heartbreaking to see because this is the result of open borders.
00:12:06.000I know that oftentimes the media or even leftists will try to portray this as an issue of people just looking for a better life but oftentimes These families, these children are being exploited and it is the cartels that are continuing to profit off of these migrant kids.
00:12:23.000I'll even add another point too, Charlie, because now that we're talking about this issue, I'm thinking about all of the different places across the country we've been.
00:12:29.000In New York, we were even hearing reports of underage migrant girls that are working in these massage parlors.
00:12:36.000I think you can imagine what's going on there and they're being extorted by the cartels as well.
00:12:41.000So you've done a lot of work, too, about how easy it is to get a fake passport and to come into the interior of the United States.
00:12:48.000So in New York, there's a huge black market on Roosevelt Avenue in which migrants can basically get any document that they need, a green card, a fake ID.
00:12:57.000And again, as we inch closer to election season, many people are asking if it's this easy for an illegal immigrant to get a fake ID that looks very real.
00:13:06.000And we are already having, you know, discrepancies within our own election system.
00:13:11.000How can we make sure that this is fortified ahead of November?
00:13:15.000You know, I put out a report just a couple months ago about how Facebook is aiding and abetting a lot of this illegal activity.
00:13:21.000You can go on Facebook right now and you can go get an ID and these are specifically marketed in Spanish to illegal immigrants.
00:13:28.000So you can find any service there, right?
00:13:30.000If you want to be smuggled across the border and then be given new documents to start your new life in the United States of America, complete with a stolen social security number, that's something that you can access on Facebook or in these black markets like Roosevelt Avenue in New York.
00:13:45.000So, again, the state of the United States right now, it's really heartbreaking to see.
00:13:52.000You have some of the most beautiful cities, once beautiful cities of America, completely overtaken by crime, by violence.
00:13:59.000You are seeing Americans completely abandoned by their government, homeless Americans, veterans, and pushed to the side so that way we could be taking care of illegal immigrants.
00:14:33.000It's not even taking care of our police officers who again are being targeted by many of the cartel and gang members that are coming across the wide open border every single day.
00:14:42.000Is anyone trying to stop this in the federal government?
00:14:45.000Is it fair to say the federal government is facilitating this crisis?
00:14:48.000Absolutely, and we can point to a lot of the reporting of how they themselves have facilitated programs like the CBP One app allowing people to seek asylum.
00:14:57.000But again, that vetting process is very soft, not very secure.
00:15:01.000You can see the program in which they were trying to fly illegal immigrants or they were
00:15:05.000flying illegal immigrants from various other countries.
00:15:08.000These people have been given priority and if you go to a lot of these sanctuary cities
00:15:13.000across America as well, these migrants are then given protection so that they don't have
00:15:19.000Another thing that I'm going to be working on, Charlie, and this is going to be absolutely
00:15:22.000crazy because no matter who gets into office, we already have organizations like the NGO
00:15:29.000that I reported on today that are essentially anti-ICE groups.
00:15:32.000So they're teaching migrants already in various major cities across the U.S.
00:15:36.000how to combat ICE, how to shut down deportations, How to, you know, which number to call so that way activists can come and stop that immediately.
00:15:44.000So this is what's been going on behind the scenes.
00:15:47.000So it's like we want to clean up our country, but the migrants and all of these organizations, which again are in large part funded by the federal government, are already putting, I guess, things in place to stop importations and they haven't even started yet.

00:17:37.000The latest whistleblower report that I've got Is that most of the agents that were there with President Trump and Butler on the day were not Secret Service agents.
00:17:47.000Most of them were Homeland Security agents that had been pulled off other investigations.
00:18:10.000They were trained with a two-hour online webinar, basically a glorified Zoom meeting, which whistleblowers tell me didn't work half of the time and had to be restarted six times by the Secret Service.
00:18:24.000Here's how they're protecting the former President of the United States, using agents who don't do protective details, whose training is a Zoom call.
00:18:32.000But they did stay at a Holiday Inn Express the night before.
00:19:02.000What is the excuse the Secret Service is giving you as to why, like, child sex crime investigators via Zoom call are now tasked with protecting Donald Trump?
00:19:19.000When was the last time the FBI or the Secret Service had a full briefing for the public where they actually went through their investigation of what they're finding and what happened on the day?
00:19:32.000Where they didn't answer really any questions.
00:19:33.000They didn't reveal any new information.
00:19:35.000They haven't briefed Congress in months.
00:19:37.000But they shouldn't be briefing just Congress, they ought to be briefing the public, and they ought to tell us exactly, exactly what they have done to fix this.
00:19:46.000To your point, Donald Trump, days away from becoming the nominee, former president, everybody knows he's going to be the nominee, shot in the face, we all saw it on national television, another good man killed, other Americans critically wounded.
00:19:58.000They failed spectacularly, and so far they've done nothing about it, and Charlie, the only reason That we really know any of these details is because whistleblowers keep coming forward to me and other members of Congress, and I just want to say thank you to those whistleblowers, and if they're more listening right now, please come forward.
00:20:16.000You're the only reason that we are getting any of the truth.
00:20:19.000We're not getting it from the FBI and the Secret Service.
00:20:23.000Just as a side note, Senator, and I want to keep getting into details here, isn't it remarkable how quickly the media has moved on from this entire story?
00:20:31.000If Barack Obama was shot, by now there would be a Netflix special, a Hulu documentary, a five-part CNN series, Frontline would have been there.
00:20:41.000There would have been ABC Nightly News broadcasting live from Butler, Pennsylvania.
00:20:46.000They would have a 30-day remembrance at the congressional side.
00:20:53.000We talk more about the JFK assassination.
00:20:55.000Now, thankfully, this wasn't a successful one against Donald Trump.
00:20:58.000Just what's your commentary on how quickly this has been memory hold?
00:21:04.000Well, they want to sweep it under the rug clearly.
00:21:06.000And, you know, I'm afraid that I think that the FBI and the Secret Service do, too.
00:21:09.000I think that's one of the reasons they're not doing any public briefings, that they're not releasing public information.
00:21:15.000They just assume everybody move on and forget about it.
00:21:17.000Let's remember, They still have not, the Secret Service still has not fired anybody over this.
00:21:24.000You know, previous whistleblowers told me that the lead agent there in Butler that day was unqualified for the job, that this person was relatively new into the position, that the Trump campaign had previously complained about this individual not being prepared, and that they made all sorts of security errors on the day.
00:22:22.000That is the direction that the Secret Service and the FBI are taking us right now, which is to hoard the information, to memory hole it, as you say, do nothing about it.
00:22:31.000And then in 20, 30, 40, 50 years say, oh, yeah, well, actually, you know, here's what really happened.
00:22:37.000But now it's too late to do anything about it.
00:22:40.000For the sake of not just President Trump, but think about all of the people who attend, the good American civilians who attend these rallies.
00:22:49.000People need to know they are safe when they are exercising their constitutional right to go and be part of the American political process.
00:23:04.000The President of the United States getting shot in the face is not acceptable.
00:23:09.000And there's got to be accountability for this.
00:23:10.000And Charlie, so far, there's been zilch.
00:23:13.000Are you getting the indication or the feeling that not being forthright is now flirting with a cover-up?
00:23:20.000Well, I will just say that when you refuse to answer questions, and listen, I don't know how many whistleblower letters I have now released.
00:23:33.000But, you know, I think about all of these people, all of the letters I've released, I have gotten precisely no substantive responses from the Secret Service Director of the FBI.
00:24:43.000And so I want to kind of pinpoint something here, though, Senator, is that no one was held accountable for the disastrous botched withdrawal of Afghanistan.
00:24:51.000By the way, we just saw the Taliban with all of our equipment on full display.
00:24:54.000No one was held accountable during COVID.
00:25:20.000Is the only way to fix this with, in November, with wholesale executive branch change?
00:25:26.000Because it feels as if this idea of checks and balances and co-equal branches of government, they just look at you guys as a peanut gallery.
00:25:34.000Yeah, and let's remember the Secret Service is not a co-equal branch of government.
00:25:39.000They work for the executive branch and they answer to the United States Congress.
00:25:44.000They are funded by the American people and so they answer to the American people and the fact that they will not tell the American people what is going on, what happened on that day, who's responsible for it, who they fired, what they're going to do, nothing.
00:25:59.000Just tells me that, yeah, they think that they can just go on with business as usual.
00:26:03.000And I'll tell you what, when we had the one hearing, one, that the Senate has had on this, you made a great point a moment ago about if this had been a different president, think of the response.
00:26:12.000One hearing the Senate has had on this, and you might remember, the sitting Secret Service Director got into a shouting match with me because I dared to push him and question him and bring forward the whistleblower information, and I didn't accept his boilerplate BS answers.
00:26:47.000And I, for one, am not going to vote for budget increases for these people when they won't tell us how they're using the money now, and clearly the decisions they are making are disastrous.
00:26:57.000It does not give me faith in the structure of the executive branch, or just how our government is currently constituted.
00:27:06.000The Constitution is supposed to have the citizens have a voice via the legislative branch, and just the indifference here is rather remarkable.
00:27:14.000Is it because... Is it deep down... I know this is hard, Senator, and speculation, But these people hate Trump so much that is it sense because of Donald Trump they just don't care?
00:27:25.000But they should also know that this could happen to one of their favorite politicians too, right?
00:27:29.000Yeah, I think that on the part of the media, it's absolutely all about Trump.
00:27:32.000They don't want to talk about this because they think that it makes Trump look sympathetic.
00:27:36.000It makes him look like who he is, that he's strong.
00:27:39.000We all saw his response when he was shot.
00:27:41.000So the media doesn't want to talk about it at all.
00:27:42.000I think with the bureaucrats, that could be part of it too.
00:27:45.000I also think they just want to cover their backsides.
00:27:47.000I think that they don't want any scrutiny on their agencies.
00:27:50.000They don't want anybody pointing out that they failed.
00:27:52.000They don't want to have to be accountable because the truth is they almost never are.

00:29:18.000Well, thank you for asking. 60 days to go. I tell you what, the money is absolutely pouring
00:29:24.000in from outside the state of Missouri. Democrats are determined to flip Missouri. They want
00:29:28.000to flip Texas and Florida as well to deny us control of the Senate.
00:29:31.000And I'm confident President Trump is going to be reelected.
00:29:35.000We've got to have a Republican Senate full of Republican fighters, conservative fighters, to be there with him to get his agenda implemented.
00:29:43.000And to do that, we've got to win in Missouri.
00:29:44.000So I tell you, between now and November, it is all hands on deck in Missouri.
00:29:48.000And we could certainly, for folks listening, we could use your help.
00:29:51.000We've got to bring home a victory there in order to retake the Senate.
00:30:11.000Senator, issues that are front and center of this campaign right now, inflation and, of course, immigration.
00:30:17.000According to DHS, the Department of Homeland Security, there are 320,000 missing children, according to the Department of Homeland Security, coming across the southern border.
00:30:26.000Your reaction to that and the indifference when it comes to Democrats to the amount of missing children in our country?
00:30:32.000Well, what Kamala Harris has done is created the largest child trafficking ring in American history.
00:30:37.000300,000 migrant children And I tell you what, Charlie, it's not as if these kids are, you know, sitting around and doing nothing.
00:30:46.000They're being exploited along with American-born children in sex trafficking rings, in labor trafficking rings.
00:30:54.000Every time that we, these traffickers, are able to get more migrant children across the border and into these trafficking rings, it puts more American-born children at risk.
00:31:02.000And never before have our kids all across this country been so at risk from traffickers, from sex exploitators.
00:31:10.000And that's because of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden.
00:31:12.000We have got to, number one, point out the truth on this issue.
00:31:15.000Number two, we've got to shut down these rings.
00:31:17.000And it begins with securing the border.
00:31:25.000And we ought to be saying night and day, Kamala is responsible for what's happening there right now.
00:31:30.000You're talking to voters a lot because you're in cycle right now and you're talking to your constituents.
00:31:35.000Right now, Kamala Harris is trying to convince people she is not the incumbent, that she's the challenger, and that Donald Trump is the incumbent.
00:31:42.000In fact, she says, we must turn the page.
00:32:11.000And I would just say this, if you like the border being open, if you like 15 million illegals coming across that border in the last three years, and if you want to give them amnesty and put them on Social Security and Medicare, And give them gold-plated, taxpayer-funded healthcare, then Kamala is your gal, because that's what she wants to do.
00:32:30.000This campaign is about, who does this country really belong to?
00:32:34.000Does it belong to the people, or does it belong to the crazy, nutty liberals like Kamala, who want to open our borders, who want to give away our most important commitments and programs to each other, like Social Security and Medicare, give those to illegals, bankrupt them by putting illegals on them.
00:32:50.000And that's before we even talk about the crime, the drugs, the violence, That her border policies have brought to this country.
