More than 18,400 migrants have come to Denver since Christmas. 6,739 of them were bused to other cities.

More than 18,400 migrants have come to Denver since the first buses of people who are fleeing unsafe conditions in Venezuela began arriving in the city around Christmas, overwhelming shelters and city workers.
