## Minnesota Hilton cancels ICE agents’ hotel reservations

Authored by theguardian.com

The Department of Homeland Security on Monday said a Hilton hotel canceled reservations for Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Minnesota, where the Trump administration has deployed officers after allegations of fraud against Somali immigrants.

After ICE officers booked rooms using official government emails and rates, Hilton canceled their reservations, the department said in a post on X.

In a statement, a Hilton spokesperson said the brand’s hotels “serve as welcoming places for all” and that the hotel that canceled the reservations was independently owned and operated.

In a later statement, a Hilton spokesperson said the company was in contact with the hotel in question, and that it has apologized for its team’s actions.

Everpeak Hospitality, the owner of the hotel, said it had “moved swiftly to address this matter” and that it was “inconsistent” with hotel policy.

Google reviews for what is believed to be the hotel location in question, in an outer suburb of Minneapolis, lit up on Monday afternoon with a mix of one- and five-star reviews, some calling the hotel “un-American” and others praising it for not hosting ICE.

Shares of the hotel chain were down 1.5% in afternoon trading. »
