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...

Fabbricatore to be joined Thursday at Aurora rally for border security by U.S. Reps Boebert, Roy

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice When Colorado Gov. Jared Polis termed the alleged gang infiltration of an apartment complex in Aurora "imagination" and his allies alleged it to be right-wing conspiracy, John Fabbricatore acted. He confirmed activity of the violent Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua in Aurora and his X/Twitter account became a tip line. “I am greatly concerned about the uptick in crime, gang presence and flood of fentanyl acrossour borders," Fabbricatore said. "The Biden-Harris administration has allowed floods of unvetted illegal migrants to cross our borders." The former regional director of ICE and the Republican nominee in Colorado's 6th District for the U.S. House will be joined Thursday by U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colorado, and U.S. Rep. Chip ...

As Aurora police monitor potential protest Saturday, questions persist as to Venezuelan gang’s infiltration of city

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice Aurora police are monitoring whether an "international day of protest" Saturday related to the Venezuelan presidential election might lead to protests in Aurora, they posted this week on Twitter/X. "We want our community to know we are actively monitoring the situation due to recent events in our city," the APD post reads. Aurora police also monitored a large assembly of people on the night of the Venezuelan election, July 28, near Havana Street and Mississippi Avenue, which some detail became lawless. As many commented in response to Aurora police on X, the "recent events" were criticized by some in the media as far-right conspiracy with claims of the events not occurring. One of those involves disagreement on the reason an apartment comp...

Fabbricatore: Why I am running for Colorado’s 6th District in Congress

By John Fabbricatore | Commentary I constantly hear how difficult it is for a Republican to win the seat in the 6th Congressional District in Colorado. It's been a tough battle for many years, but this seat was held by Republican leadership since 1983, represented by former Congressmen Daniel Schaefer, Tom Tancredo, and Mike Coffman. The tide turned when Democrats, determined to take this seat, committed significant financial resources to Jason Crow's campaign, spending more than $5 million. At that time, it became one of Colorado's most expensive races, with nearly $23 million being spent by both candidates and outside groups. In 2018, under mounting pressure and increased Democratic funding, the Republican Party withdrew financial support, with the National Republican Congressio...

Fabbricatore: A law enforcement leader’s perspective on the assassination attempt on President Trump

By John Fabbricatore | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Have you ever experienced a situation where things happen that are done right, but still go horribly wrong? The recent assassination attempt on President Donald Trump's life is a stark example of this. While the Secret Service was prepared to lay down their lives for the former President and current Republican Presidential candidate, the fact that a shooter managed to get within 140 yards of the stage represents a significant failure in security protocols. Something went wrong, and, as a result, hearings should be held, Freedom of Information Act requests made, and hopefully we can come to an understanding of why this security lapse occurred.  As we uncover the details and analyze what went wrong, it's crucial t...

Independence Day: Some cite Reagan, Trump, but Gardner goes way back to Adams in Twitter greetings

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice While Coloradans were enjoying parades, rodeos and cookouts in celebration Thursday of Independence Day, elected Republican officials past, present and possibly future turned to Twitter. For those not binge-watching Yellowstone re-runs, Twitter was filled with their personal thoughts and quotations, as could be expected, by Presidents Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump, and unexpectedly by novelist William Faulkner. The occasion drew former U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner to get more creative, citing the country's co-drafter of the Declaration of Independence, the first vice president, first occupant of the White House and the country's only Federalist president: John Adams. Gardner encouraged Coloradans and Americans to, as Adams had said in 1776, "Ce...

Flora heads up panel addressing ‘complex problem’ of illegal immigration, HB 19-1124 and sanctuaries

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice LONE TREE -- It might be a complex problem but the solution could be quite simple, participants in an immigration forum told a large audience gathered here Wednesday in Douglas County. "We can secure the border, and then the work begins," said Deborah Flora. A candidate in the 4th District U.S. House race, Flora has pledged that, if elected, immigration will top her list of priorities. She organized a forum here with local law enforcement officials, including a sheriff, district attorney and former ICE director. "The State of Colorado has made it essentially against the law to participate with our federal partners," said Douglas County Sheriff Darren Weekly. He and other sheriffs have complained the Democrat-led House Bill 19-1124 is to...

Auto accident prevents Fabbricatore from competing for nomination in special election

By BRIAN PORTER | The Rocky Mountain Voice HUGO -- The Republican Congressional Vacancy Committee convened here Thursday evening with nine candidates vying to be nominated to a place on the 4th District Congressional special election ballot. But, there should have been 10 candidates. John Fabbricatore was unable to participate when he was involved in an auto accident on the way to Hugo, reads a social media post he wrote. "I was involved in a vehicle accident that disabled my vehicle and kept me from making it to the event in Hugo, before the first round of votes were cast," he wrote. The committee ruled he must be in attendance for his nomination to be entertained, Fabbricatore wrote. Nine candidates were nominated, and he would have been the 10th. His campaign manager a...
