'I am proud of our community for proactively stepping in to provide support in uniting these individuals with their family and friends,' said Denver Mayor Michael Hancock.
In the wake of a surge of asylum seekers, including many families, arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border, churches have been opening their doors for those in need of refuge.
"This church is very progressive and social justice [is] not just for immigrants or asylum seekers," one of the organizers, Jeanette Vizguerra, told the news agency. "This is a real humanitarian crisis," Vizguerra said."Crime is very high, and these people are only coming here for security and for a better life for your kids."
"I am proud of our community for proactively stepping in to provide support in uniting these individuals with their family and friends," Hancock said. "They deserve our compassion, not condemnation." According to AP, it is likely that the bus trips from New Mexico and Texas will continue, though it is unclear how long churches will be able to accommodate asylum seekers.
