The Department of Homeland Security has accused a Minnesota Hilton hotel of 'maliciously' cancelling room reservations for Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, sparking controversy over law enforcement accommodation and corporate policy amid heightened federal immigration enforcement.
DHS, the US federal agency responsible for border security and law enforcement, took to its official social media account to post screenshots of internal emails from the Hampton Inn by Hilton in Lakeville, Minnesota, indicating that reservations made by officers with DHS and ICE were being cancelled because of their immigration-related work. The agency's post alleged a coordinated refusal of service and questioned why Hilton 'is siding with murderers and rapists' by allegedly undermining federal law-enforcement efforts.
