The Denver area marked two years since it declared a state of emergency in response to a migrant influx that resulted in approximately 43,000 migrants arriving to the city, most of them from Venezuela. City officials report that the emergency phase of the crisis, which saw thousands of migrants housed in shelters at its peak, has ended, with the focus having shifted to long-term resettlement efforts.
Coinciding with the anniversary, Denver closed its last city-funded migrant shelter, the Mullen Home, which had been reserved for pregnant women, children, and families, as all 60 families previously housed there have moved to permanent housing.
