(RightIsRight.co) – A Colorado Airbnb host’s American Dream turned into a nightmare when suspected illegal gang members destroyed her mountain property, causing $16,000 in damages.
Airbnb host Karen Martiz in Evergreen, Colorado, was devastated after her mountain retreat was transformed into a scene of utter destruction.
What was supposed to be a peaceful weekend rental for a small group turned into a chaotic party involving 80 to 100 people suspected to be members of the notorious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
Cigarette butts litter the premises despite clear no-smoking signs. Gum was stuck to carpets, walls, and ceilings, which needs complete replacement. The living space was emptied, the walls dirtied, and the carpets stained.
Even more alarming, bags of drugs were found scattered throughout the house, indicating the criminal nature of the perpetrators.
In addition, a neighbor reported hearing gunshots from the property during the incident. This brazen display of violence in a typically peaceful mountain community underscores the growing threat posed by unchecked illegal illegals and the spread of dangerous gangs across the country.
“I have put all my energy and love into this property to make it beautiful for my guests. It’s a beautiful place. Everybody loved it,” host Karen Martiz said.
She sadly added, “We have been hosting for two years and this was the first time that I showed up here and my house was completely destroyed. I couldn’t believe it.”
Due to extensive repairs, she has been unable to rent her property for about a month, which has significantly strained her ability to pay bills and her mortgage.
Moreover, the Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the incident, focusing on the suspected involvement of the Tren de Aragua gang.
This Venezuelan criminal organization’s presence in Colorado is a stark reminder of the consequences of the Harris-Biden administration’s failure to secure the borders and protect American citizens.
Meanwhile, this incident aligns with concerns raised by Donald Trump and other Republicans about the real and serious threat posed by illegal gangs.
As Airbnb hosts across the nation grapple with the potential risks of opening their homes to strangers, this incident highlights the urgent need for stricter vetting processes for short-term rentals.
