"Denver Authorities Clear Migrant Tent City Amid Safety Concerns and Protests"
Authorities in Denver evicted hundreds of migrants from an illegal tent city, offering them alternative housing or transportation out of the area. The camp, mainly composed of Venezuelan asylum seekers, arose due to the influx of migrants bused from Texas under Operation Lone Star. Denver officials are seeking federal assistance and immigration reform to sustainably support the migrants, who are unable to work legally and are scheduled for court hearings years in the future. The city is spending a significant portion of its budget on migrant services and advocates for work authorization and a coordinated federal plan similar to those for Ukrainian and Afghan refugees.
