The Aurora council approved a resolution on Monday night telling other local governments or nonprofits entities to not bring immigrants — who ended up in metro Denver after illegally crossing America’s southern border — into Colorado’s third most populous city.
The vote followed disagreement among councilmembers and criticism from some residents who attended the meeting. The resolution’s sponsors later made changes in response to feedback from nonprofits and community members.
As amended, the resolution affirms Aurora’s “non-sanctuary” status, asserting that the city “does not currently have the financial capacity to fund new services related to this crisis.”
