(COLORADO SPRINGS) — On Sunday, Jan. 28, a bus carrying migrants arrived in Colorado Springs. According to El Paso County Commissioner District 4, Longinos Gonzales, Jr., the migrant families on the bus came from Denver.
“The failure of the Denver policies and its mayor… the governor is hurting our state and hurting our communities,” said Gonzalez, Jr.
The rising crisis at the United States’ southern border has led to an influx of migrant families and individuals, some of them ending up in Colorado.
“This is not just a local challenge. It is a national emergency and it’s destroying cities and communities around our nation,” said Carrie Geitner, El Paso County Commissioner District 2.
