"It’s no surprise this career criminal chose to flee to sanctuary Chicago where he knows JB Pritzker will protect him from deportation."

The sanctuary city of Chicago apparently provided a hiding place for an illegal immigrant who ran from the law in Colorado after a brutal kidnapping.

Venezuelan illegal immigrant Jorman Jose Cuba-Zabala allegedly took part in the kidnapping and torture of a migrant couple on December 17, 2024, at an apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado, that was taken over by members of the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua.

The apartments, The Edge at Lowry, were also the site of a viral video where armed Tren de Aragua gang members were seen trying to force their way into units.

Days after the kidnapping, Aurora Police Chief Todd Chamberlain said the attack was “100% gang activity.”

But police at the time were still looking for some of the suspects, including Cuba-Zabala.

The Chicago Police Department arrested Cuba-Zabala on April 28 after he was allegedly caught shoplifting two pairs of sunglasses valued at over $800, according to the Aurora Police Department. Officials then extradited him to Colorado earlier this month to face justice in the kidnapping case.

Roughly a dozen armed suspects took part in forcing the couple into a vacant apartment, where the couple was bound, threatened, and assaulted. Some of the attackers also robbed the apartment, police said.

Cuba-Zabala was the last of the alleged attackers to get nabbed.
