The list sent to Mayor Mike Johnston included requests for provisions of "fresh, culturally appropriate" food, no time limits on showers and free immigration lawyers, the outlet reported.
The migrants insisted that if these are not met, they will not leave their tent community.
The current encampment is situated "near train tracks and under a bridge," Fox 31 noted, adding that it has been there for the last couple of weeks.
Further details of the demands read, "Migrants will cook their own food with fresh, culturally appropriate ingredients provided by the City instead of premade meals – rice, chicken, flour, oil, butter, tomatoes, onions, etc… Shower access will be available without time limits & can be accessed whenever… Medical professional visits will happen regularly & referrals/connections for specialty care will be made as needed."
The migrants also insisted they get "connection to employment support, including work permit applications for those who qualify," as well as "Consultations for each person/family with a free
immigration lawyer."
Additionally, the migrants demanded privacy within the shelter once moved there and, "No more verbal or physical or mental abuse will be permitted from the staff, including no sheriff sleeping inside & monitoring 24/7 – we are not criminals & won’t be treated as such."
The demands were sent following the Denver government obtaining a petition to have the migrants moved, according to the outlet.
