A group of migrants camping in Denver, Colorado, is refusing to be evicted from their temporary homes under bridges and near railroad tracks.
Palestinian flags are also displayed in some of the migrant camps.
Instead of being asked to move to city-funded shelter-in-place shelters, the migrants have submitted a list of 13 demands to Mayor Mike Johnston.
“They took their time trespassing into our country and went all the way to Denver. The least we can do is give them a home,” Pat Gray scoffs.
The migrants reportedly had “past complaints” about the food provided by the city.
Immigrant “advocate” V. Reeves told reporters: “We’re getting so many complaints about spoiled food, not enough food, malnutrition in children,” adding, “They have not received any official housing or immigration documents,” he added. This is much needed support. ”
The list of demands includes that immigrants cook their own meals using fresh, culturally appropriate ingredients provided by the city, rather than ready-made meals, and that they have access to showers at any time without time restrictions. There is.
It also requires regular visits with medical professionals, referrals and connections to specialized treatment if needed, and free immigration lawyers for each family.
Migrants will be provided with housing assistance, as well as a “clear and fair process before leaving the country for any reason.”
All shelter residents have access to employment assistance, including work permit applications.
“You can’t make something like this up,” Gray says, surprised.
