Colorado county bans buses of migrants from making unscheduled stops there

Published



Bus companies carrying illegal immigrants from Denver that make unscheduled stops in Douglas County, Colorado, could face hefty fines or have their vehicles seized, according to a new emergency ban passed Tuesday. 

The measure, greenlighted in just 30 minutes by Douglas County commissioners, comes as Denver, a self-described sanctuary city, has been stretched thin of resources to help the influx of 40,000 who have come to the city over the past 15 months lacking basic needs, such as food, water, and shelter.
