The drama surrounding a hotel in Minnesota that reportedly barred federal law enforcement has reached a spectacular visual peak, with a massive crane physically ripping the property’s Hampton Inn by Hilton sign right off its supports.
Photos that emerged Thursday showed the sign being hoisted high above the parking lot of the Lakeville hotel, marking a dramatic end to its association with the Hilton brand following a highly publicized controversy involving U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, agents.
