"Operation Aurora Is Coming," Says Thrilled Aurora City Councilor

  • 11 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols
Aurora City Councilor Danielle Jurinsky (R).

As the Aurora Sentinel’s Cassandra Ballard reports, despite half-hearted attempts by Aurora’s Republican Mayor Mike Coffman to combat rampant misinformation about the city spread in large part by Donald Trump in stump speeches throughout the country including just inside the boundaries of Aurora itself, a member of the GOP-controlled Aurora City Council, Danielle Jurinsky, who fully embraced the false narrative that the city has been “taken over” by migrant gangs, is now celebrating the imminent “Operation Aurora” to deport the largest number of persons from the country in history–and warning the Aurora Police Department and other agencies with the effrontery to dispute the party line to get ready to cooperate when Trump’s federal deportation force arrives:

The Aurora City Council member who promoted the disputed Venezuelan gang narrative that drew Donald Trump to Aurora in October told city officials the president-elect’s administration has contacted her about implementing mass deportations.

“Operation Aurora is coming,” Councilmember Danielle Jurinsky said during the Nov. 14 meeting of the Aurora City Council Public Safety meeting. “On a very serious note, there seems to be a disconnect with the incoming administration and the City of Aurora. So I hope that we are taking this seriously.”

Jurinsky promoted what police and city officials have repeatedly said was a false-narrative on local and then national right-wing radio and TV programs about Aurora apartments and parts of the city being overrun with Venezuelan gang members.

Police have repeatedly said Jurinsky’s claims are inaccurate, and that no Aurora apartment buildings, neighborhoods or streets are “overrun” by Venezuelan or any gangs. Jurinsky’s critics called the allegations anti-immigrant rhetoric. [Pols emphasis]

Jurinsky may not have the facts on her side, but what she does have is a newly-elected President who was never at any point interested in the facts, whether in Aurora where migrant gangs have not overrun the city, or in Springfield, Ohio where the legal Haitian immigrant population is not eating the dogs and cats. Branding Trump’s mass deportation promise as “Operation Aurora” is nothing less than a frontal assault on attempts to correct the record, attempts that there is no doubt reached the campaign’s ears and were summarily disregarded.

In short, it doesn’t matter that Aurora has not actually been “overrun” and therefore is not in need of armed occupation by federal troops.  The occupation of Aurora by federal troops is what Danielle Jurinsky wants, no matter what misery and injustice results. Federal officers who arrive in Aurora under the pretense that the city has been “overrun” are not going to find that to be the case, but there will be many thousands of immigrants who statistically commit far fewer crimes than the native-born readily available to be persecuted. The mismatch between the violent false expectations and reality increases the chances of an indefensibly tragic outcome.

Whichever side you are on, Jurinsky is right that the consequences will very soon no longer be hypothetical.

  1. "Operation Aurora is coming…"

    I take it this means Operation Xenophobia and Hate is coming to Aurora all based on the false premises of a F A T orange man with a severe mental illness. Never mind the corrupt landlords or the appalling conditions of squalor no, it's all about who your neighbors are and if they're white enough to live in the filth that has been created for them. 

     

  2. Imagine being so consumed by racist hate that you’d celebrate the SS and Gestapo coming to your town. Hopefully Gov. Polis does the right thing and calls up the Colorado National Guard to defend the people of Aurora.

    1. I expect the Operation Aurora effort will have all of the clarity as the "Muslim ban" of Trump I. 

      There's been a great deal of speculation how things will play out … private prison corporations have been doing VERY well on the stock exchange. 

      Anyone know what organizations are preparing to ramp up in some type of opposition to Trump, his Immigration triumvirate, and whatever emerges as "Operation Aurora"?

      1. Haitian immigrants in Springfield have already started fleeing because they know they can't trust their neighbors to defend them. One would hope Aurorans are better, but considering the risks, I doubt it.

        1. Jurinsky and the Jurinskys of Aurora would probably beg to differ?  There's a world of difference between mob rule and majority rule; even a handful mob of Jurinsky's/Tlump's "good people."

  3. If this happens in the way Steven Miller ( Trump's immigration czar) wants it to, it calls for a massive counter-demonstration – for the streets of Aurora to be filled by citizens peacefully saying "No- you can't take away our neighbors without due process".

    1. Then the really heavy handed anti-protest abuse of force starts. Besides remember how Democrats folded at the sight of college students using their freedom of speech for Gaza? 

      1. Yep, they are going to commit acts of cruelty to the immigrant community, the trans community, the… there will be protest… “Look at how good we are supporting cops! We aren’t even listening to the accusations of police brutality. Besides these are the evil “woke” college students not your children” 

        The mob is primed for mindless disagreement look at Jaguar. Here a company had the audacity to market a $130k ELECTRIC limousine to limousine liberals. 

        Nobody seems to think for themselves they just parrot what the wealthest man on the planet and owner of a competing EV manufacturer told them to believe about what the competing EV manufacturer hasn’t shown them. 

        There are going to be show raids. There is going to be a new communication of who is an “okay one” (not an armband), after all that’s what this is segregation lite with a hazy “you don’t look like right” justification. 

         

  4. Rhetorically wondering when the last time was that Jurinsky read the old "first they came for …. " quote. First, the Venezuelans of course, but who's next?
