Magdalena Simon, a migrant from Guatemala, finds support in the Fort Morgan migrant community after her husband is detained by immigration officers. The community provides legal counsel, charities, schools, and a support network for newcomers.

Advocacy groups organize events to oppose stiffer asylum rules, while businesses in the area employ many migrants.
