In a statement to Denver7, Denver’s Joint Information Center said emergency shelter stays"should be a very temporary way for folks who've made a long journey to get here."
14 days has been determined as an appropriate amount of time for migrants to rest up from their travels and get connected to resources to help them in their next phase. This is an opportunity for non-profits and faith organizations to step up by providing humanitarian aid to these very vulnerable neighbors as well." Denver city officials say 73 migrants arrived overnight as of 2:30 p.m. Monday. The city has helped 4,017 migrants since Dec. 9.
“I’ve been volunteering for about three weeks now. What I've seen first and foremost is that the city staff that are managing the sites are putting their all into it,” said Cameron Segura, a volunteer at a Denver migrant shelter.“We only have a handful of interpreters at my site… people are coming and asking for help — they have a headache, or they have some kind of medical issue. We have no medical personnel on site most days, and we're not allowed to even give them an Advil,” he said.
“The big part in declaring yourself a sanctuary city is understanding and being attuned to what type of migrants are going to be coming because over the years, we've had all different kinds of migration flows. This one is one where people are coming from very bad situations. They're coming from being economically exploited, socially, personally. So the people that are coming here are coming here for protection,” he said.
