Hilton Worldwide has publicly distanced itself from a heated controversy in Minnesota after a franchise hotel reportedly cancelled room reservations for the agents of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This cancellation of bookings drew sharp criticism from federal authorities and both public backlash and praise on social media.
The hotel in question is the Hampton Inn located in Lakeville, Minnesota. It is a property operating under the Hilton umbrella but owned and managed by franchisee Everpeak Hospitality.
