Denver Faces Migrant Crisis: Services Slashed, Schools Overwhelmed
TL;DR Summary
Denver is facing a humanitarian crisis as it struggles to support the influx of thousands of migrants, with nearly 40,000 migrants arriving in the city, the most per capita of any city in the nation. The city has spent over $42 million on migrant support and may face a total cost of $180 million in 2024, prompting budget cuts in other areas. Mayor Mike Johnston has appealed for help from the White House and Congress, but the city's support system is starting to buckle after Congress rejected a deal aimed at slowing the flow of migrants.
