Denver has become the latest Democrat-run city so overwhelmed by a surge of migrants that it has run “out of shelter space” — forcing city officials to start kicking out thousands to accommodate newer arrivals.
“We have filled every single hotel room that we have available in the city and county of Denver,” Mayor Mike Johnston said at a town hall meeting last week.
“Now, we have the terrible decision that if we don’t start exiting folks, we will have 250 folks that will arrive today or the day after, who don’t have anywhere to go at night.”
The city had suspended migrant evictions in November due to concerns about the cold weather, but ended that pause on Monday — allowing the city to kick migrants out of shelters if they have stayed in the temporary housing for more than six weeks.
That day, about 140 migrant families were booted from their accommodations, with 660 families in the coming weeks, likely meaning more than 3,000 individuals, Newsweek said .
For the next two months, about 50 to 60 families will be forced out each day.
