ICE agents were seemingly unwelcome at a hotel in Minnesota. Hampton Inn Hotel, a Hilton brand located under Minneapolis, refused to accept ICE officers, reported the Department of Homeland safety (DHS) in a Monday entry on the X. Trump administration increased the number of officers in the area due to allegations of fraud by Somali immigrants.
The Department of Interior (DHS) announced on Monday that an worker of the Hampton Inn hotel cancelled reservations made by ICE officers on January 2 after they made area reservations utilizing authoritative government email addresses and prices. "We do not let any ICE officer or immigration officer to stay at our hotel," said the hotel in an email published by DHS on page X.
Hilton Worldwide resigns
Hilton Worldwide Holdings removed the hotel from its system, announced the operator. “We are taking immediate action to remove this hotel from our systems. Hilton is – and has always been – a place where everyone is welcome," stated the company in X.
Deputy Secretary of the Department of Homeland safety (DHS), Tricia McLaughlin, said the department welcomed Hilton's decision made on Tuesday. "Discriminal business practices, aimed at DHS and deliberately undermining national law enforcement, are non-American and have real business consequences," she said in a message for X.
Everpeak Hospitality, operator of the Hampton Inn Hotel, was not available to comment on the recording on Tuesday. On Monday, the company announced that it was in contact with the guests afraid to supply them with accommodation. "We do not discriminate against any individual or body and we apologize to the persons concerned," the company informed on its website.
