A county in Colorado is implementing measures to address the migrant crisis by prohibiting bus companies from stopping or dropping off illegal immigrants in their community. Douglas County Commissioner George Teal emphasized that their community, which has a predominantly Republican population, is not a sanctuary city, and the new ordinance reflects that stance.
Under the ordinance, buses that drop off 'commercial passengers' in 'unplanned locations' in Douglas County could face fines of up to $1,000 per passenger, and the buses may be seized by local law enforcement. This move comes as Colorado communities seek to distance themselves from Denver, which declared itself a sanctuary city and is experiencing an influx of migrants.
