A new Douglas County, Colorado, ordinance seeks to discourage bus companies from dropping off migrants in the area.
One county in Colorado is taking direct action to combat the migrant crisis, putting bus companies on notice not to stop or drop off illegal immigrants in their community. Douglas County, Colorado, Commissioner George Teal said his community, which is home to a large Republican population, is not a sanctuary city and that the new ordinance is reflective of that. 'No more freeloading,' Teal told 'Fox & Friends' co-host Lawrence Jones on Thursday.
' Local officials in Monument went so far as to take a formal vote to affirm the town’s status as a 'non-sanctuary city' as fears grow about the possibility of migrants leaving Denver for nearby communities. The migrant crisis has reportedly put a financial strain on Denver, and the city is scaling back services as a result. Denver Mayor Mike Johnston announced in February the closure of four migrant shelters and the goal of reallocating nearly $60 million back into city services.
