DENVER — Denver has set up an emergency shelter to accommodate as many as 100 immigrants from the U.S. southern border after the group arrived in the city by bus overnight Monday into Tuesday, according to the Denver Office of Emergency Management.
The office announced the activation of an emergency shelter, set up in an undisclosed city recreation center, on Twitter just after 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.
The immigrants were dropped off at the Denver Rescue Mission downtown, according to Mikayla Ortega, a spokeswoman from the city’s emergency management office, relaying information shared by shelter staff.
