I am not making the claim... those who make the claim should back it up.
It is difficult to prove a negative, but what I can say is that there appears to be no evidence for trump's allegation.
Is crime way down in Venezuela?

Hence my noting that the base of the story is real, and that hyperbolizing it is the supposed "fakeness"... But saying that it didn't happen at all is way more fake than hyperbolizing the issue.
I was hoping...in vain...for my tutorial fee to be paid but alas, it has not been.
BTW, yes, crime is down in Venezuela. Which is not the same thing as saying Trump is right. But, yes, crime is down in Venezuela.
I am sure that this is where Trump got his idea that they are emptying prisons and sending criminals to the border though:

Something happened, as happens all over the United States, but there is no evidence it was illegal aliens taking over an apartment complex.
Looks like if there were bad actors, the authorities took care of it.
Even J.D. Vance said that they make up stories to promote what they believe is important.
Your citation does not say what your claim.BTW, yes, crime is down in Venezuela. Which is not the same thing as saying Trump is right. But, yes, crime is down in Venezuela.

Why do you say crime is down in Venezuela?
LOL, the Washington Times. You actually read that? The New York Post. you actually read that?
Yes it is up this year, WAY down overall under Biden.
FBI data show sharp drop in violent crime but steepness is questioned
The Biden administration is taking credit for a sharp drop in violent crime though one expert says the declines are likely overstated.

Joe Biden is correct that violent crime is near a 50-year low - Poynter
Republicans have argued that Biden is responsible for high levels of crime. He has responded by saying that violent crime has fallen. He's right.

Latest DOJ data shows crime rates remain elevated under ...

6 days ago — Crime rates remained elevated last year under President Biden, according to Justice Department data released Thursday that challenges a ..
You don 't believe the DOJ.
Poor Concarty.
Except it was. 2 Apartment complexes, in fact. While Mike downplayed it a bit he was clear that 2 buildings were affected and that the people they arrested were Venezuelan gang members.
That's a value judgement. I happen to disagree. IMHO, sensationalizing an isolated event and claiming the problem is widespread is demonizing large segments of the population, which is Trumps playbook. Based on what I see on this site, it's working. It is ignorant and dangerous. Ask the residents of Springfield, Ohio. Ask almost any community with a large segment of immigrants. Trump is dangerous. But go ahead and vote for him. Be careful what you ask for. Will you turn me in for being a Harris donor, or will you leave that to someone else?
Yeah, I pointed that out earlier in response to Jarod's claim that prisoners do not commit crimes (utter nonsense BTW).
"Illegal" Venezuelans, who "took over" the complexes?
You see, they see a story and then add what they want to it without any evidence, then MAGA gulps is down. You also gulp it down, apparently.
I think that allowing idiots like Jarod to pretend it didn't happen at all, simply disbelieving the reports from the people that lived there, arrest reports, etc. is far worse than hyperbolizing. It's like telling a woman she didn't get raped because she wore a short skirt and was in a bad part of town so she wanted it.
I never claimed specific individuals did not commit crimes, Ill ask you not to make up lies about me.

Again, illegal migrants did take over the complexes, Jarod. Even if you don't like the reality. Hyperbolizing is "fake", yes. But it really did happen. Just not a "whole city"...
Ignoring the very real crimes committed against people is something Democrats like to do when the very real crimes could have been prevented by simply enforcing immigration laws. Trump gives you guys the inch you turn into a mile with his hyperbole, I get that. But you can do better than him rather than just wallow with him in the old outhouse hole.
Man, you hate being called out, don't you.
I never said any reports from people living there were untrue.
If a woman were to get raped, then trump claimed it was done by an illegal who was running a sex trafficking ring... but there was no evidence the person was an illegal or that there was a sex trafficking ring, Id call out that lie. Even though she did get raped.

4 Reasons We Should Worry About Missing Crime DataThe FBI’s crime data is still incomplete — and politicians are taking advantage.
"More than 6,000 law enforcement agencies were missing from the FBI’s national crime data last year, representing nearly one-third of the nation’s 18,000 police agencies. This means a quarter of the U.S. population wasn't represented in the federal crime data last year, according to The Marshall Project’s analysis."
