Denver mayor blames Republicans and Trump for $5M cuts to pay for migrant crisis
The city of Denver is cutting $5 million from public services to pay for its illegal immigration, with the mayor pinning the blame on Republicans and former President Donald Trump.

The cuts follow the mayor’s decision last month to divert $25 million from the city budget to the migrant crisis. That plan included pulling $10 million from a contingency fund and $15 million from a building remodel. Those actions followed the city’s decision to hold many positions vacant and review new or expanded contracts and programs.
It reminds me of a line from a Bellamy Brothers song: “He gets out there in the twilight zone sometimes, whet it just don’t make no sense.”
"The choice by Republicans in Congress to purposefully kill a historic, bipartisan border deal this week will have a devastating impact in Denver," Johnston said after the Republicans blocked a bipartisan border deal, which included a foreign aid package for Ukraine and Israel, from advancing Wednesday.
"I’m incredibly proud of how city team members have stepped up over the past year, but it is clear that the federal government is not going to support our city," he said, fighting back tears at a Friday press conference.
Is Johnston not aware of who is in charge of the federal government?
