Aurora Sentinel: Ongoing controversy surrounding Venezuelan immigrants in Aurora took another twist yesterday when a city lawmaker accused the governor and Denver mayor of plotting to smuggle thousands of homeless migrants into local apartments. 

“I believe that Gov. (Jared) Polis and Denver Mayor Mike Johnston conspired to sneak potentially thousands of migrants into our city, using several nonprofits in the metro (area) that ultimately put the safety of our citizens at risk,” Aurora Councilmember Danielle Jurinsky said in a statement.

Officials Denver mayor’s offices did not directly address Jurinsky’s allegations, but they defended the city’s handling of the flood of immigrants to Denver over the last two years.
