Colorado Welcomed Venezuelans. Many Now Live in Fear.

Over the past couple of years, around 40,000 Venezuelans arrived in Denver fleeing political and economic instability, eager to work while their immigration statuses played out. Initially, with help from the city and non-profit organizations, many were able to find stable housing and jobs. However, with all the recent changes in immigration policy, they now face an uncertain future and finding work has become more difficult.

I coproduced and reported this story with Ann Marie Awad to explore how the first days of Trump 2.0 changed the rules of the hustle for one Venezuelan couple in Denver. This story is part of Feet In 2 Worlds limited series The Hustle.
