Sanctuary City Denver Spends $356 Million on Illegals as Mayor Vows to Fight Deportations

SHARE:

The bill so far for Denver’s sanctuary city policies: $356 million in taxpayer dollars — about $7,900 per migrant, a new study estimates — and the city’s mayor said he would rather go to jail than let any of them be deported.

The Mile-High City has shelled out a full 8% of its 2025 budget caring for the roughly 45,000 migrants who have arrived since 2022, according to an updated report by the Common Sense Institute (CSI).

In addition to funding hotels, transportation and childcare, Denver has dropped $49 million for migrant healthcare and a staggering $256 million into education for more than 16,000 migrant children enrolled in local schools.
