An elementary school in Colorado could be turned into a shelter for migrants as they continue to flood across the country's southern border.
The specific school property involved, which is owned by Denver Public Schools, has not been made public, but city officials say they are making contingency plans to turn it into emergency accommodation.
Johnston explained how the city has been 'looking for buildings that would be suited as an emergency shelter.
The city also refuses to offer cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents - but there are fears parts of Denver have recently become overrun by Venezuelan gangs.
On Thursday, police in Aurora said the street gang had a small presence in the city and had not taken over the rundown apartment complex.
Aurora is a diverse city that has long grappled with crime and gangs, and police said they have so far linked 10 people to Tren de Aragua and arrested six of them, including the suspects in a July attempted homicide.
Social media posts about a video purporting to show migrants taking over a school bus in San Diego and a 911 call reporting Venezuelan migrants taking over an apartment building in Chicago have also received attention lately.
