Denver's Growing Migrant Crisis Forces Families Out of Shelters

TL;DR Summary
Denver is evicting new immigrant families from hotel shelters as the city scales back its efforts to save money, leaving many scrambling to survive in the winter. The city initially allowed families to stay for 37 days, but with limited space and new arrivals, they are now being given 42 days before having to leave. Mayor Mike Johnson cited financial constraints, and the city is offering immigrants free bus tickets to other parts of the country. Volunteers are providing support, including food, resources, and shelter, while the city faces challenges in accommodating the growing immigrant population.
