This week’s arrival of more than 100 migrants and refugees in Denver from the southern border was coordinated informally on social media by the migrants themselves and the influx is expected to continue, city officials said Thursday.
“This does not appear to be anything that was organized by another government entity to direct people specifically to Denver,” Evan Dreyer, deputy chief of staff for Mayor Michael B. Hancock, said at a news conference. “I want to make that clear.”
