Denver Faces Strain as Migrant Influx Overwhelms Public Services

Denver public schools are struggling to accommodate an influx of migrant students, with a teacher highlighting the strain on resources. Mayor Mike Johnston has slashed $5 million from public services to address the crisis, blaming Republicans and former President Trump for blocking a bipartisan border deal. The cuts have drawn criticism from residents and officials, with concerns raised about the impact on city services. The city has also begun ejecting around 800 migrant families from shelters as it scales back aid for illegal immigrants, while facing a projected cost of $180 million in 2024 due to the crisis.
