The US Department of Homeland Security has accused Hilton of refusing hotel rooms to federal agents in Minneapolis, triggering a public dispute that has quickly spread across social media and political circles.
The allegation surfaced after Homeland Security published a sharply worded post accusing Hilton of cancelling room reservations made by DHS law enforcement officers. According to the agency, the bookings were made using official government email addresses and standard government rates, yet were later cancelled without explanation.
