Colorado will no longer send busloads of illegal immigrants to Chicago and New York, a move that had triggered criticism from the two cities’ Democratic mayors, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis’s office said on Jan. 7.

Polis, a Democrat, had announced on Jan. 3 that the state government would step in to make sure that illegal immigrants who recently arrived in Denver could safely reach Chicago and New York by bus, saying that most of those individuals don’t consider Colorado to be their “desired final destination.”
