The Department of Homeland Security on Monday said a Hilton hotel canceled reservations for Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Minnesota, where the Trump administration has deployed officers after allegations of fraud against Somali immigrants.
After ICE officers booked rooms using official government emails and rates, Hilton canceled their reservations, the department said in a post on X.
The department also posted screenshots of emails, in which the hotels operators said they had noticed an influx of GOV reservations made today that have been for DHS, and that they were not allowing any ICE agents to stay at the property.
In a statement, a Hilton spokesperson said the brands hotels serve as welcoming places for all and that the hotel that canceled the reservations was independently owned and operated. The cancellations are not reflective of Hilton values, the spokesperson said.
We are investigating this matter with this individual hotel, and can confirm that Hilton works with governments, law enforcement and community leaders around the world to ensure our properties are open and inviting to everyone, the spokesperson said.

Looks like corporate folded like a cheap suit.
I kinda expected they would make a generic statement, but it looks like they are kicking this hotel out of the franchise!

Are ICE soldiers? Are they prosecuting a war? Have any administration officials characterized deportations as such?

(3,471 posts)No doubt sane people will avoid Hilton, especially when ICE vehicles are in the parking lots, and their fascist faces are in the common spaces!
Corporate greed to cash in on the .gov rate is overriding human decency again.
Is it too much to expect a corporation to have values these days?!
