On December 15, 2022, the city of Denver declared a state of emergency in response to a massive influx of illegal aliens that allegedly came from the southern border, largely from El Paso, Texas.
According to a report by Katabella Roberts at The Epoch Times, Mayor Michael Hancock issued the emergency declaration as several hundred illegal aliens, predominantly from Central and South America, arrived last week.
“Let me be frank: This influx of migrants, the unanticipated nature of their arrival, and our current space and staffing challenges have put an immense strain on city resources to the level where they’re on the verge of reaching a breaking point at this time,” Hancock announced during a news conference on December 15.
“What I don’t want to see is a local humanitarian crisis of unsheltered migrants on our hands because of a lack of resources,” Hancock continued.
