The town council in a suburb of Denver, Colorado, has voted unanimously to explore potential lawsuits against the deep-blue city for allowing more than 42,000 illegal aliens to move in since December 2022.
During a Castle Rock town council meeting on September 3, councilmember Max Brooks introduced a motion that would order the town’s attorney to investigate whether the town could take legal action against Denver over the massive influx of illegal aliens that have since spread out to surrounding suburbs. Brooks noted in a statement that there are several other suburbs planning to join the potential lawsuit.
Speaking with CBS News Colorado, the councilmember declared: “This isn’t just a decision that Denver gets to make because it’s impacting the rest of the Front Range. So the idea is to join with other municipalities and say it’s time to stop. Our town attorney’s office has already had conversations with the county attorney with Douglas County, already had conversations with the city of Aurora, and also had conversations with the city of Parker.”
Numerous officials from Denver suburbs have publicly complained about the influx of illegal aliens causing serious problems for their towns, especially gang members from crime-riddled countries such as Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua gang.

“We currently have entire complexes under gang control — complexes where staff have been beaten up, they’ve been threatened, their families have been threatened [and] complexes where there are no staff left on the property,” Aurora City Council Member Danielle Jurinsky said last month, referring to videos of Tren de Aragua members taking control of apartment complexes.
“They start brokering apartments themselves when someone leaves out of fear or whatever. They go in and take pictures of the apartment themselves. Then, I’ve been told, within hours, a Venezuelan family moves in,” Jurinsky added.
Denver has enticed illegal aliens to flood the city and surrounding suburbs by offering them a ridiculous amount of taxpayer-funded benefits, including six months of paid housing and free bus tickets to other areas of Colorado or other states.

According to Brooks, the planned lawsuit from Castle Rock is not an effort to seek compensation from Denver, but rather to force Denver to change its approach to illegal immigration.
“I don’t want a dime from Denver, I just don’t want them to continue to have a policy that is having a negative impact on the Front Range,” Brooks explained.
“You don’t wait until the hurricane is on you to board up your windows and leave town. We understand that there is a storm coming,” he added.
