   The city of Denver has begun ejecting around 800 migrant families   
   from shelters as it scales back on aid for illegal immigrants.   
      
   On Monday, about 140 families were booted out from temporary   
   accommodations in Colorado's capital, with the remaining 660   
   families expected to be removed over the next few weeks, according   
   to city officials.   
      
   The sanctuary city has been struggling to stretch its limited   
   resources to support the growing number of migrants in the city.   
   Texas has transported thousands of migrants to sanctuary cities like   
   Denver, to showcase the problems border states face when migrants   
   flood their cities.   
      
   With overcrowded shelters and overrun hospitals, Denver state   
   officials have begun enforcing a limit on the amount of time that   
   migrants can stay in state-provided rooms to accommodate the daily   
   influx of individuals, according to a report from NBC News.   
      
   As of last week, Denver was sheltering 3,813 people with more waves   
   of illegal immigrants still descending on the city. Denver Mayor   
   Mike Johnston, a Democrat, said the city is at full capacity.

   "We have filled every single hotel room that we have available in   
   the city and county of Denver," Johnston said during a town hall   
   meeting last week.   
      
   "Now we have the terrible decision that if we don’t start exiting   
   folks, we will have 250 folks that will arrive today or the day   
   after who don’t have anywhere to go at night," Johnston said.   
      
   Johnston told Fox News last week that the city was "very close" to   
   breaking point due to the crisis.   
      
   The city had initially paused shelter exits due to the colder   
   weather, but due to space and timing, that pause will end this week,   
   according to 9News. Previously, migrants with children were allowed   
   to stay for 37 days,   
      
   "As of Monday, Feb. 5, 2024, Denver has supported 38,380 migrants   
   from the southern border at a cost of more than $42 million," a   
   statement on the city’s website reads.

   MIGRANT SURGE   
      
   "This influx of migrants is straining capacity, and based on current   
   projections, could force the city to cut as much as $180 million   
   from its annual budget," the city said in a press release.   
      
   Yoli Casas, of the nonprofit ViVe Wellness, said the number of   
   migrants arriving in the city is unprecedented. ViVe Wellness is   
   helping the city address its migrant crisis.   
      
   "We have never seen so many people come and so many people in the   
   last year… so Feb. 5 for me is a date that hurts a lot because it’s   
   a date that, for various reasons, we’re full," Casas told 9News.   
   "There’s just no more space."   
      
   The city has also been helping migrants leave the city by purchasing   
   bus tickets. In January alone, the city purchased more than 2,000   
   tickets, sending people to other destinations within the United   
   States, with most going to New York City and Chicago, according to   
   Denverite.   
      
   The influx of migrants has also put the city’s health system at a   
   breaking point.   
      
   About 8,000 illegal immigrants recorded about 20,000 visits to   
   Denver Health last year, receiving services such as emergency room   
   treatment, primary care, dental care and childbirth. The visits   
   contributed to the system being in the red by about $22 million.   
      
   Denver passed laws to become a sanctuary city, but it doesn't   
   include a right-to-shelter provision, which means there is no   
   official policy that compels the local government to provide shelter   
   indefinitely.
