NYT Admits Migrant ‘Conspiracy Theory’ It Had Scolded Trump for Is in Fact True
2 min read
The New York Times has finally been forced to admit the truth: President Donald Trump was right all along about violent migrant gangs taking over apartments in Aurora, Colorado.
The same paper that just months ago slammed Trump’s warnings as a “false conspiracy theory” is now walking it back — and admitting the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua is deeply embedded in the Denver suburb.
From ‘Lie’ to ‘Complicated Truth’
In September 2024, during the presidential debates, Trump sounded the alarm about how illegal migrants had overrun Aurora — specifically pointing to violent gangs like Tren de Aragua.
The New York Times hit back immediately, publishing a piece titled: “How the False Story of a Gang ‘Takeover’ in Colorado Reached Trump.” They claimed it was all “fear-mongering” from the Trump campaign and mocked local officials who raised the alarm.
But in July 2025, the same outlet released a new piece with a very different headline:
“Democrats Denied This City Had a Gang Problem. The Truth Is Complicated.”
Migrants Flood Aurora, Crime Explodes
After the Biden regime allowed over 40,000 Venezuelans into Denver under sanctuary policies, many began relocating to nearby Aurora for cheaper housing.
That’s when the Tren de Aragua gang moved in — bringing guns, drugs, and violence.
Local residents, including lifelong Democrat Cindy Romero, captured videos of gang members loitering outside her building, flashing weapons and threatening families.
Romero eventually joined Trump on stage at a rally to expose the crisis the Biden administration helped create.
A City Under Siege
According to residents interviewed by the Times:
Gangsters rode motorbikes inside buildings, throwing parties that went all night.
They punched holes in walls to steal electricity from other apartments.
A ten-minute gun battle erupted in one complex the night of Venezuela’s rigged 2024 election.
The atmosphere in downtown Aurora now feels more like Venezuela than America.
Trump Vindicated, Again
The Times now admits that ICE arrests in Colorado have surged over 250% since Trump took office — but gang members still roam the streets of Aurora.
So why did Democrats deny it?
“The more central Aurora became to Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric, the greater the temptation among Democratic politicians and activists to wave away talk of gang activity in the city as a right-wing hallucination,” the Times now writes.
But what Democrats called “right-wing fearmongering” turned out to be reality.
As Trump said: “When America has no borders, it has no country.”
