AURORA, Colo. (AP) — The school system in Aurora, Colorado, is striving to accommodate more than 3,000 new students mostly from Venezuela and Colombia.

City Council has tried to dissuade Venezuelan immigrants from moving to Aurora by vowing not to spend any money helping newcomers. Former president Donald Trump has promised Aurora will be one of the first places he launches his program to deport migrants if he’s elected. Migrants arriving in the polarized U.S. have been bewildered by its divisions.
