“In light of the amount of fear and concern that has happened in our community, for immigrants in our community, and concerns about potential deportation, as well as rhetoric that does not fully value the contributions of all of our immigrants in the city of Aurora, we do affirm, as a city, our valuing and supporting of those members of our community and their contributions to the community.”

Of greatest concern for Coombs and other supporters are threats by Trump and some congressional Republicans to revoke a host of temporary immigration statuses affecting tens of thousands of immigrants in Aurora.

El Salvador immigrants approved for Temporary Protective Status and so-called “DACA DREAMers” — children of immigrants not born in the United States but who have lived here for much or most of their lives — could be at risk.

A bevy of immigrants, including Venezuela, enjoy some variation of temporary status, according to state and local immigration officials."
