Denver's Migrant Crisis: City Struggles to Support Discharged Families
Denver is ejecting around 800 migrant families from shelters as it struggles to accommodate the growing number of migrants, with the city at full capacity and facing a potential budget cut of $180 million due to the crisis. The influx of migrants has strained the city's resources, leading to overcrowded shelters, overrun hospitals, and a strain on the health system. Denver, a sanctuary city, has been helping migrants leave by purchasing bus tickets, but the situation has reached a breaking point, with no official policy compelling the local government to provide shelter indefinitely.
