Denver faces significant strains as it deals with a large influx of migrants, leading to budget challenges and a stretched support system.

Denver has witnessed a dramatic influx of migrants, leading to Mayor Mike Johnston warning of budget changes and a strained support system. With nearly 40,000 migrants received, the city is facing financial pressure, with potential costs reaching $180 million in 2024. This situation comes as Congress rejected a deal to slow migrant flow, causing the city to begin budget cuts and displace families from temporary housing.
