   Two days after the city of Denver opened an emergency shelter to   
   accommodate more than 100 migrants who arrived in the city from the   
   country’s southern border, another 20 arrived on Thursday, city   
   officials said.   
      
   And more may be coming in the days and weeks ahead, Evan Dreyer,   
   deputy chief of staff to Mayor Michael Hancock said at a news   
   conference on Thursday afternoon. With the city’s Emergency   
   Operations Center activated to address the unfolding crisis, many   
   are looking for people to blame.   
      
   But Dreyer said Thursday that roughly 300 migrants have arrived in   
   Denver over the past two months and the sudden arrival of 90 people   
   at the doors of the Denver Rescue Mission overnight Monday into   
   Tuesday does not appear to be the outcome of an act of political   
   theater.   
      
   “From what we’ve been able to gather, there was sort of an informal   
   gathering, some on social media, among those folks themselves,”   
   Dreyer said of the migrants, many from South and Central America   
   including Venezuela. “This does not appear to be anything that was   
   organized by another government entity to direct people specifically   
   to Denver. Just want to make that clear … we do not think that that   
   was the case. No evidence of that.”   
      
   Dreyer’s comments Thursday stand in contrast to a statement issued   
   by U.S. Sen. John Hickenlooper on Wednesday. The Colorado Democrat,   
   Denver’s former mayor, linked the arrival of the migrants on Monday   
   to recent actions by Republican governors in Florida, Texas and   
   Arizona who have bused or flown groups of immigrants to big cities   
   and more liberal states.   
      
   “Instead of playing partisan games, let’s tackle our broken   
   immigration system once and for all,” Hickenlooper said in his   
   statement.   
      
   Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s office told The Denver Post on Wednesday   
   that his administration is only busing migrants to Washington, D.C.,   
   Philadelphia, Chicago and New York City at this point.   
   Representatives for Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey on Thursday told the   
   Post the administration is only sending people to Washington D.C.   
      
   Dreyer started Thursday’s press conference by focusing on the help   
   the migrants need now.   
      
   He thanked the nonprofit service providers that have been supporting   
   the migrants and the city’s shelter efforts. Denver is directing   
   people who want to help to send monetary donations to Denver   
   Community Church, the American Friends Service Committee, and the   
   Colorado Hosting Asylum Network.   
      
   But it’s an ongoing situation that will require more support. As of   
   Thursday afternoon, 120 immigrants were staying in the city’s   
   emergency shelter, set up in the gymnasium of an undisclosed city   
   recreation center. That number was expected to be updated.   
      
   The city has released photos and videos from within the shelter but   
   has not allowed media inside or publicly released the location out   
   of concerns for the safety and privacy of those staying there,   
   officials said.
