Hilton has gone woke and is refusing to provide rooms for ICE agents!
That is a major narrative online right now as ICE is making headlines for increasing its presence in Minnesota.
But the thing is, Hilton is not really making the big political stand your FYP might be suggesting.
Right, so this all started yesterday when the Department of Homeland Security posted alleged email screenshots from Hilton properties in the area, including a Hampton Inn in Lakeville, refusing service.
Saying:
“After further investigation online, we have found information about immigration work connected with your name and will be cancelling your upcoming reservation.”[]
And:
“We are not allowing any ICE or immigration agents to stay at our property. If you are with DHS or immigration, let us know as we will have to cancel your reservation. Please pass this info to your coworkers.”
So DHS was livid, and wrote:
“NO ROOM AT THE INN! @HiltonHotels has launched a coordinated campaign in Minneapolis to REFUSE service to DHS law enforcement.”
“This is UNACCEPTABLE.”
And reactions fell along party lines, right, with some applauding Hilton, arguing that DHS deserves this, that ICE agents should be refused rooms.
And others were on DHS’s side, thinking Hilton is discriminating against ICE.
For its part, Hilton did not confirm the validity of the emails, but a spokesperson did respond to the situation.
Telling multiple news outlets that the hotel in question is independently owned and operated, and the actions did not reflect the company’s values, explaining:[]
“We have been in direct contact with the hotel, and they have apologized for the actions of their team, which was not in keeping with their policies. Hilton’s position is clear: Our properties are open to everyone and we do not tolerate any form of discrimination.”
The hotel’s management company, Everpeak Hospitality, also issued an apology and said it had reached out to those impacted to make sure they are accommodated.
However, a DHS spokesperson said the matter had not actually been addressed and neither ICE or DHS had heard from the hospitality group about the reservations.
