LAKEWOOD PUSHBACK: Residents Stand Against Becoming a SANCTUARY CITY Like Denver!

Denver's initiative to shelter over 3,800 migrants has ignited tension with neighboring Lakewood, where residents are protesting against becoming a sanctuary city. The Denver Mayor's decision to support migrants, with over $42 million spent on shelters, contrasts sharply with Lakewood's stance. Lakewood Mayor Wendy Stum emphasized that the city would not adopt sanctuary policies and debunked myths about using local schools for migrant housing. The issue escalated into a heated town hall meeting, reflecting broader concerns over resource allocation and potential increases in taxes and crime. This clash underscores the growing divide between cities on handling immigration and the impact on local communities.
