The city of Denver has announced plans to defund the police to pay for the migrant crisis as the democrat city strips cops' budget of $8.4 million.
The sanctuary city's progressive Mayor Mike Johnston unveiled a budget proposal on Wednesday, allocating $89.9 million to assist incoming undocumented migrants, whom he refers to as 'newcomers.'
The amount will be drawn from approximately $45 million that's used for public programs and services.
As a result of this reallocation, the police and fire department are some of those expected to face budget cuts.
Johnston claimed this was the best option available to provide services to migrants.
