“Time to end retirement”: Fabbricatore joins fight to rescue migrant children as ORR Senior Advisor

By Shaina Cole | Contributing Writer, Rocky Mountain Voice On May 19, 2025, retired ICE official John Fabbricatore stepped into a new role as Senior Advisor at the Office of Refugee Resettlement, just as the agency faces intense scrutiny for failing to track unaccompanied migrant children after release. Fabbricatore’s #FindTheKids hashtag signals a push to close those gaps, but the road ahead is steep. Fabbricatore announced his appointment on X, stating, “Time to end retirement. I was sworn in at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on May 19, 2025, as a Senior Advisor for the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) at the Immediate Office of the Secretary in the Senior Executive Service.”  https://twitter.com/johne_fabb/status/1924576960371421184 ORR ...

By Alliyah Sims | Fox31 DENVER (KDVR) — FOX31 is learning that 105 people were detained at an underground nightclub bust in Colorado Springs over the weekend. That’s down from the original reported count of 114. The Drug Enforcement Administration said nine people had previous contact with immigration officials.

The other was wanted in Adams County for a misdemeanor. John Fabbricatore, former ICE Regional Director, told FOX31 that when there are that many people in custody, the process can take a while, and it really matters where people are going. He said that processing one single ...

Absence of U.S. Rep. Jason Crow from 6th District during campaign has been noticed

By Lindy Browning | Contributor, Rocky Mountain Voice Laurie Arnold, who lives in Colorado’s 6th U.S. House District, wonders why her current representative, Jason Crow, is spending his time, money and energy campaigning for Democrats in Georgia, North Carolina, Delaware and Pennsylvania, rather than the people in Colorado's 6th District. “Our district is falling apart, it’s crumbling. Jason Crow is so arrogant and he takes the voters for granted. He just assumes that he is going to win, even though he has spent no time in the district listening to the concerns that we have,” Arnold said. John Fabbricatore, the Republican candidate in the 6th District, who is running against Crow, hears Arnold’s concerns loud and clear. “I’ve been talking to people all over the district, Republ...

Dierenbach: Colorado Congressman Crow and the Afghanistan withdrawal 

To protect the Democratic party, Crow lies, obfuscates and abandons principles  By Karl Dierenbach | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Dutifully following the orders of superiors is a fundamental aspect of being a good soldier.  Dutifully following the orders of party bosses is not an admirable trait in a U.S. representative.  We need our representatives to stand up for their constituents and for what is right.  When their party is wrong, our representatives should call them out, not silently stand by or, worse, actively support the injustice. This brings us to Colorado Congressman Jason Crow.  As a soldier in Afghanistan, Crow served his country, following orders and carrying out assigned missions. He should be thanked for his service.  But b...

Ex-ICE official John Fabbricatore warns Tren de Aragua growing faster than MS-13

By  Adam Shaw | Fox News A former ICE field director is warning that a violent Venezuelan gang is more organized than the infamous MS-13, and is backing former President Donald Trump’s plan to stamp out the gang in Colorado and across the U.S. John Fabbricatore, who served as an ICE field director and is currently a GOP congressional candidate in Colorado, told Fox News Digital that he would not describe Tren de Aragua as a gang. The organization has popped up throughout the U.S. and has been linked to a number of crimes amid the crisis at the southern border. "TdA is a true organization. They're not a gang. They have a better structure than MS-13 ever had. So I think that's the difference and if we look at TdA, just in the amount of time that TdA have been in the United...

‘This was a takeover’: CBZ Management no longer silent on violent TdA activity in Aurora

Jurinsky: 'Police chief leadership and city management lied' By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice A property management company, which has been vilified in Aurora as a slumlord, has begun to speak out through a new social media account. They are providing, in the words of Paul Harvey, the rest of the story. In 2019, CBZ Management was hired to manage Aurora apartment properties by the new owners. The properties were in poor condition and CBZ Management was assigned renovation to increase the rent value, the company's first posting on Oct. 11 reads. "We understood this project would take years to yield results and would be both time-consuming and costly, involving comprehensive upgrades to every unit and the overall structure," the Twitter/X post from @CbzManagement reads. ...

If you don’t know Danielle Jurinsky, you might after Donald Trump’s MAGA rally in Aurora

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice When Danielle Jurinsky returned to civilian life after nine years serving in the Air Force, most of it at Buckley Air Base, and after building multiple businesses employing more than 50 residents, adding to her responsibility may not have been a consideration. But, that's just what she did, running for and being elected as a member of City Council in the town where she was raised. It would almost be unfathomable to consider anyone in Colorado hasn't heard of the Aurora city councilwoman in the past few months. She's been at the forefront of discoveries the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Araqua was active in some areas of the town, and leading in the assistance for some of the most affected residents. In a few days, the nation might also kn...

Retort that Tren de Aragua claims are ‘racially motivated’ is untrue, Fabbricatore says on F&F

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice The retort that claims of the violent Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua's activity in Aurora are just racially motivated accusations is untrue, John Fabbricatore said on Fox & Friends Weekend. "The governor has said it is racially motivated. Congressman Jason Crow has said it is racially motivated," Fabbricatore told the Fox & Friends host. "This is not racially motivated. These are things that are actually happening. People are actually being hurt and they're not doing anything about it. They would rather put it back on us and spin it toward a racial aspect." The former regional ICE director in Colorado has been consistent with his criticism of police leadership. "The police department needs to do something," he told Fox &...

Leadership failures to blame for Tren de Aragua flourishing in Aurora, Fabbricatore says

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice A lack of leadership exists within City Hall administration and at the police department, and it can be credited for the growth in activity by Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua in the City of Aurora, former regional ICE Director John Fabbricatore said Friday during a City Hall roundtable. Fabbricatore, who holds the Republican nomination for the 6th District seat in the U.S. House, was joined at the roundtable by two members of the Aurora City Council, two members of U.S. Congress, former federal ICE Director Tom Homan, state representatives and senators, a county commissioner and four residents of Aurora. Missing were any member of management from City Hall or the police department. "Aurora has been underserved by their leadership in the...
