Congresswoman Lauren Boebert hosted a community roundtable Friday to discuss recent reports of gang and criminal activity at Aurora apartment complexes, which have since become talking points for politicians discussing U.S. immigration policy.
Boebert, the firebrand Republican who represents Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District, hosted the roundtable at Aurora City Hall with Texas Congressman Chip Roy, also a Republican.
The roundtable lasted about 90 minutes and also featured state and local leaders as well as concerned citizens.
As the U.S. representative for the 3rd Congressional District, Boebert doesn’t represent any part of Aurora, nor would she represent the neighborhoods where the apartment complexes are located if she’s elected to the 4th Congressional District seat in November.
But Boebert has taken an interest in the recent developments. Friday’s roundtable was the latest example.
“The purpose of this meeting was to get information out to Coloradans because, unfortunately, the media has done the complete opposite,” Boebert said. “They want to cover this up and label it a conspiracy.”
