Denver city officials confirmed that a busload of immigrants from Texas were dropped off at the state capitol, instead of typically leaving them at a shelter.
A busload of immigrants just in from Texas was dropped off at the state capitol, city officials confirmed. These types of bus drop-offs are not unusual, but what is new is the location, said officials.
Leaving people at the center of state government instead of at a shelter sends a message, Jon Ewing, spokesperson for Denver Human Services said.
“This feels like a cheap shot. It feels intentional. Our shelters are not downtown. They are in different parts of the city but not right downtown. Some are even off of the interstate. All a driver has to do is just take an exit and you drop them right off,” Ewing said.
Often, the city is notified about such drop-offs, but not always — which was the case Monday morning.
Ewing’s office calls these unannounced drop off vehicles “ghost buses” because no one knows anything about who is inside or what the people may need.
“They often come off with a little blanket,” he said. “They don’t know the city and they don’t speak the language.”
