When a bus from Texas dropped off some migrants Monday morning in front of the Colorado Capitol, Evan Dreyer from the mayor’s office blasted the atrocity. “These are folks who have come from the Texas border after long journeys, and they are not prepared for cold weather,” Dreyer told the Denver Post. “And to drop them off like that, just randomly, in the cold — in the freezing cold — is inhumane, dangerous and it puts their lives at risk. It’s shameful.”

Patience wearing thin between migrants, traditionally homeless in Denver

Several people experiencing homelessness and those who support them told the City Council Monday that encampment sweeps in harsh weather must stop. They spoke in support of an ordinance that would disallow sweeps when the temperature dips below 32 degrees. “I have been out there and have watched,” said Richard Creswell during public comment period. “No one can find their gloves.” He said encampment sweepers shake the tents of the unhoused early in the morning, telling them to pack up and get out. He said sometimes crews will use a Bobcat poised to bulldoze a tent to get people to move faster. “They say if you don’t do this, we’re going to throw away your tent.” Creswell said campers often grab the frozen tent poles with their bare hands, which feel like they’re burning. “It’s really cruel.”

When I write about the migrants from Venezuela, it doesn’t take long for the mean comments to pile up. But the migrants aren’t going anywhere. In fact, a near record-setting 419 migrants streamed into Denver Friday and Saturday alone, according to the city’s online migrant dashboard. The city is sheltering more than 3,000 migrants in non-city buildings, such as hotels and motels, according to the dashboard. Thirty-five are sheltered in city buildings. And growing numbers of migrants are sleeping on the streets, according to city officials.
