Homeland Security blasts Hilton Hotels over canceled ICE reservation

The Department of Homeland Security accused Hilton Hotels of canceling a Minneapolis hotel reservation made by law enforcement officers involved in immigration enforcement in Minnesota as the Trump administration investigates fraud allegations there.

“NO ROOM AT THE INN!,” DHS said in a social media post on X. “Hilton Hotels has launched a coordinated campaign in Minneapolis to REFUSE service to DHS law enforcement.”

It's my guess DHS and ICE Agents are trashing the hotel rooms and profiling their cleaning staff. who live in fear of deportation.

1. They are going to get sued. This does not sound legal.

Is this a corporate Hilton deal, or a manager of said Hilton decision?

simply inform the GSA that government room rates are no longer offered by Hilton.

Legal - no problem.

And the federal employees also must book elsewhere by regulation.

8. This doesn't sound like a Hilton stance. This is a manager of a single Hilton.

As nice as it sounds, Hilton is not going to take an ideological stance on walk away f4om alll government business.
