Prompted by Mayor Michael B. Hancock’s executive order “Standing with Immigrants and Refugees: A Safe and Welcoming City for All of Denver’s People,” we began providing support and funding for nonprofits to add community-focused immigration attorney fellows and paralegals to their staff. Our Denver Immigrant Legal Services Fund assisted with immigrants’ representation fees and language interpretation. This fund has granted more than $3.12 million to nonprofits that have provided direct legal services to 6,172 Denver residents.
