In Aurora, Colorado, reports have surfaced about the Hells Angels motorcycle club potentially intervening in response to alleged takeovers of apartment complexes by Venezuelan gangs, notably Tren de Aragua, amidst claims of increased gang violence and drug trafficking linked to these groups. While some sources and social media posts suggest the Hells Angels’ involvement as a form of vigilante justice against what’s described as an invasion facilitated by lax border policies, others, including local officials and law enforcement, have downplayed the extent of gang control or the involvement of the Hells Angels, labeling some reports as exaggerated or false. This situation has sparked a debate on the legality and ethics of motorcycle clubs combating street gangs, highlighting concerns over potential violence, the strain on local law enforcement, and the broader implications for community safety and legal justice. The narrative also touches on broader political and social issues, including immigration policies and the perceived inadequacy of government responses to gang activities, with opinions sharply divided on whether such vigilante actions could mitigate or exacerbate the problem.

Fact Check – Hells Angels Arrive in Colorado: Lawyer Reacts to Confronting Venezuelan Gangs
With no corroborating evidence, I call false. Many say the biker part is a hoax. But others say it’s true. Either way, it’s worth covering. Many of us have seen the reports of Venezuelan street gangs taking over since Joe Biden opened our southern borders. Reports on non-legacy media are that illegal alien gangs have taken over apartment complexes in Aurora, Colorado.
Governor Polis Denies Reality: Claims Venezuelan Gang Takeover in Aurora, CO is Just a ‘Figment of Imagination’
So far the polls are showing 60% or so are calling BS.
“Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman acknowledged on Thursday that a Venezuelan gang that is likely Tren de Aragua has taken control of several apartment complexes in the northern part of the city in what he called “a nightmare situation.” (Source Colorado Gazette).
Here is a report from Reddit. According to CNN, everything is fine, and we need to give “newcomers” loans so they can buy homes and even let them vote.
But Twitter/X influencers say gang-related violence caused by illegal aliens Venezuelans is off the chain. Some posts say the Hells Angels, a notorious and internationally recognized biker club (not a gang), seem to be setting their sights on Colorado to kick out the “illegal squatters.” The word is many of these illegals are from prison gangs sent here by the Venezuelan government in revenge for the CIA interfering in their internal affairs.
True or not, Venezuelan street gang members are almost as famous as other gangs like the Salvadorean MS-13. But unlike MS, or the Latin Kings, Venezuelan street gangs are notorious for raping locals and attacking police in sanctuary states. Out of all the recent illegal immigrants allowed in by Customs Enforcement, Venezuelan gang activity seems to be the most organized, with family members involved in human trafficking, drug distribution, squatting, and adverse possession.
Homeland Security has seemingly facilitated this invasion since the feds reversed President Trump’s shelter-in-place policies that had kept these illegal immigrants out.
Other reports describe a patriotic mission to combat Venezuelan gangs allowed in by the federal government. Maybe they are coming as a show of force or to celebrate their new TV series, “Hells Angels: Kingdom Come.” But if that’s the case, why not ride to Southern California, where the HAs first formed?
Illegal AliensSquatting: Unoccupied Homes in the U.S.
As a motorcycle lawyer, I support the Angels or any M/C culture trying to save our children and country from this purportedly government-sponsored, foreign invasion. This has stirred local authorities and the biking community, prompting numerous reactions. But what does this mean for the residents?
Angels v. Illegal Alien Criminals
First and foremost, it’s essential to understand these groups’ roles in the larger societal framework. The Hells Angels, founded in 1948, are associated with organized crime by movies and the press. But they are defenders against un-American criminal elements.
On the other hand, Venezuelan gangs in Colorado are reportedly involved in various illegal activities, such as drug trafficking and violent crimes. The egregiousness and brazenness seem to be the issues. This is what has alarmed both the general public and law enforcement. This is probably also not something the Outlaw Biker community will allow, either.
Many of them were or are intelligence officers with the Venezuelan government. In contrast, others are escaped murderers and rapists, allowed in by our open southern borders and accepted by so-called “sanctuary states” to help redistrict representation using the census data allegedly.
Two Tier?
This has led to allegations of two-tiered justice, one set of rules for the political class and the other for bikers and MAGA.
Just compare the drug charges against Hunter Biden to what would happen to a Red and White. There you go. Do you think Kamala Harris would go easier on an HA or illegal immigrants? Who is more likely to be arrested under the current political class?
“When you have two powerful factions like the Hells Angels and Venezuelan gangs, it’s a recipe for heightened tensions and potential conflict. Both groups are known for their robust territorial instincts and reluctance to back down.” – Michal Ehline, Esq.
• Heightened tensions: Residents worry about the potential increase in violence as these groups clash.
• Community impact: There are concerns about safety and the effect on local businesses.
• Law enforcement challenges: Police may struggle to maintain order and prevent escalation.
I think the Hells Angels’ intervention, assuming it’s true, might deter Venezuelan gangs from peddling heroin or cocaine. They could pressure law enforcement to combat organized crime and human trafficking nationwide.
The situation involves social, legal, and community dimensions. It remains to be seen how this will play out and impact Colorado.
