Hilton, hotel apologize for ICE cancellation

A Minnesota hotel that wouldn’t allow federal immigration agents to stay there this month is apologizing and saying the refusal violated its own policies. The Department of Homeland Security had accused the global Hilton hotel chain of a “coordinated” effort to refuse service to its employees. DHS shared screenshots of an email from a Hilton address on Friday, stating immigration agents wouldn’t be allowed at the Hampton Inn Lakeville, and their reservation was canceled. Though the hotel is under the Hilton brand, Hilton said the property is independently operated and quickly apologized. Hotel operators said the refusal doesn’t reflect their policies and are working to accommodate the affected guests.

Starting at $4.50/week.
