local leaders outcry and residents fleeing their homes Democrat Colorado Gov. Jared Polis has denied that migrant gangs have taken over apartment buildings in Aurora - despite video evidence and a local leader's outcry.

The heavily-armed mob was seen on video storming through an apartment complex while brandishing at least one semi-automatic weapon. A man in a hoodie lugs the high-powered rifle and pounds on an apartment door, while several others wield handguns.

'A GANG HAS TAKEN OVER several apartment complexes in Aurora!' local council member Danielle Jurinsky wrote on X.

But Polis said the migrant takeover is just a figment of her 'imagination.'

'The governor ha already let the mayor know that the state is ready to support the local police department with assistance from state troopers and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation,' Shelby Wieman, a spokeswoman for the governor, told the New York Post.
