The meeting was hosted by the Colorado Ethiopian Community, an Aurora-based group, at their offices on 1450 South Havana Street. “Our Ethiopian community is concerned with theft and crime. It is getting better every day, but the community is really worrying about theft and crime.”But much of the conversation tilted toward federal immigration enforcement, inside and outside of the Ethiopian community.
