Pregnant Venezuelan Migrants Face Harsh Realities in Aurora, Colorado

Thousands of migrants struggle with homelessness and lack of resources as local communities debate the extent of support.

  • Ivanni Herrera and her family were forced to leave a Denver shelter, ending up in a tent on a median in Aurora.
  • Aurora City Council has refused to support incoming migrants, citing financial constraints.
  • Medical professionals urged Herrera to stay in a hospital due to her pregnancy, but she declined to leave her son on the street.
  • Denver has significantly reduced its support for new migrants, offering only three days in a hotel.
  • Many migrants, unable to legally work, resort to begging and temporary manual labor to survive.
