Mayors of Denver and Aurora clash over ‘offloading of illegals’ in Aurora

By Shaun Boyd | CBS Colorado

In an op-ed published in the Colorado Springs Gazette, Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman accused Denver Mayor Mike Johnston of not being truthful about how migrants, including Venezuelan gang members, ended up in Aurora.

Coffman said he filed an open records request that shows Johnston used the cover of non-profits to quietly dump migrants in other cities.

Johnston denied the allegations, stating,  “The City of Denver never places anyone anywhere.” 

Johnston said he was blindsided by the op-ed that included a headline claiming, “Denver’s Mayor offloads immigrants on Aurora.”
