(WASHINGTON) — Former President Donald Trump is set to visit Aurora, Colorado, for a campaign rally on Friday after weeks of pushing misleading narratives about the city\u2019s migrant population.<\/p>\n

In the final weeks of his campaign, Trump has continued to focus on the issue of immigration, escalating his rhetoric on undocumented immigrants he often paints as violent criminals.<\/p>\n

Specifically, the former president has used Aurora and Springfield, Ohio, to emphasize his point, both examples stemming from viral online stories he\u2019s been quick to promote, often without proper context.<\/p>\n

His false narratives on Aurora began last month when a video of armed individuals roaming around an apartment complex in Aurora went viral among right-wing social media influencers.<\/p>\n

Trump, who has shared that video himself, has repeatedly claimed that members of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang have “taken over” apartment complexes and “overrun” the city, despite the Aurora Police Department refuting allegations of the apartment complex being run by a Venezuelan gang.<\/p>\n

Aurora\u2019s Police Chief Todd Chamberlain has directly refuted Trump\u2019s claims, saying in a press conference late last month that, “This is not an immigration issue. This is a crime issue.”<\/p>\n

“We are not, by any means, overtaken by Venezuelan gangs,” he added.<\/p>\n

The City of Aurora also provided clarity on the situation in a post on its official X account, stating that while there was a concern about a “small” presence of the Venezuelan gang members in Aurora, the city is taking the situation seriously. The city stressed that Aurora is a “safe community” and that reports of gang members are “isolated to a handful of problem properties alone.”<\/p>\n

Still, Trump has continued to amplify these debunked stories to his supporters throughout the country as a rallying cry as he attacks the immigration policies of the Biden-Harris administration.<\/p>\n

In the press release announcing Friday\u2019s event, the Trump campaign described Aurora as a “war zone,” arguing people were crossing the border and descending upon the city “bringing chaos and fear with them.”<\/p>\n

Similarly, Trump has repeatedly amplified debunked claims that Haitian migrants are eating pets in Springfield.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s visit is one that he has been wanting to make for a while to bring more attention to the country\u2019s immigration policies. At recent campaign rallies, Trump has become more vocal about his desire to visit Aurora and Springfield.<\/p>\n

While the Republican mayor of Springfield, Rob Rue, discouraged visits from candidates on both sides of the aisle, Democratic Colorado Gov. Jared Polis has presented the trip as a learning opportunity for the former president.<\/p>\n

“The reality is, Donald Trump continues to tell economically damaging and hurtful lies about Aurora,” Polis said in a statement to ABC affiliate Denver7 amid ongoing discussions of a potential visit. “If former President Trump does visit, he will find the city of Aurora is a strong, vibrant, and diverse city of more than 400,000 hardworking Coloradans and a wonderful place to live, run a business, raise a family, and retire.”<\/p>\n

Trump has launched attacks on the local and state officials on the campaign trail, often making baseless claims that Republican Mayor Mike Coffman and Polis are “petrified,” saying Coffman “doesn\u2019t know what the hell he\u2019s doing” \u2013 and even claiming they don\u2019t want to raise the immigration issue because they want to be \u201cpolitically correct.\u201d<\/p>\n

Campaigning in Uniondale, New York, last month, Trump, while declaring that he planned to visit Aurora and Springfield soon, suggested that he might not make it back out after his visiting those places due to unspecified crime.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m going to go there in the next two weeks. I’m going to Springfield, and I’m going to Aurora,\u201d Trump said in Uniondale. “You may never see me again, but that’s OK. Got to do what I got to do. Whatever happened to Trump? \u2018Well, he never got out of Springfield.\u2019”<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s visit to Aurora also comes as he\u2019s pledged on the campaign trail to begin his promise of mass deportations in Springfield and Aurora.<\/p>\n

“We’re going to have the largest deportation in the history of our country,” Trump said as he took reporter questions in Los Angeles, California, last month. “And we’re going to start with Springfield and Aurora, [Colorado].”<\/p>\n

“We’re going to take those violent people, and we’re going to ship them back to their country, and if they come back in, they’re going to pay a hell of a price,” Trump also said.<\/p>\n

Springfield has many Haitian residents who are either legally authorized to live and work in the U.S. or are protected from expulsion by law.<\/p>\n
