Move sparks praise but chain says hotel independently operated and cancellations \u2018not reflective of Hilton values\u2019
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<\/a> 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.
The department also posted screenshots of emails, in which the hotel\u2019s operators said they had \u201cnoticed an influx of GOV reservations made today that have been for DHS\u201d, and that they were not allowing any ICE agents to stay at the property.
In a statement, a Hilton spokesperson said the brand\u2019s hotels \u201cserve as welcoming places for all\u201d and that the hotel that canceled the reservations was independently owned and operated. The cancellations \u201care not reflective of Hilton values\u201d, the spokesperson said.
\u201cWe are investigating this matter with this individual hotel, and can confirm that Hilton works with governments, law enforcement and community leaders around the world to ensure our properties are open and inviting to everyone,\u201d the spokesperson said.
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\u2019s actions.
\u201cThey have taken immediate action to resolve this matter and are contacting impacted guests to ensure they are accommodated,\u201d Hilton\u2019s spokesperson said. \u201cHilton\u2019s position is clear: Our properties are open to everyone and we do not tolerate any form of discrimination.\u201d
Everpeak Hospitality, the owner of the hotel, said it had \u201cmoved swiftly to address this matter\u201d and that it was \u201cinconsistent\u201d with hotel policy.
\u201cWe are in touch with the impacted guests to ensure they are accommodated. We do not discriminate against any individuals or agencies and apologize to those impacted,\u201d Everpeak said in a statement<\/a>.
Google reviews for what is believed to be the hotel location in question, in an outer suburb of Minneapolis<\/a>, lit up on Monday afternoon with a mix of one- and five-star reviews, some calling the hotel \u201cun-American\u201d and others praising it for not hosting ICE.
Protesters have rallied<\/a> outside hotels in Minnesota and other places around the country where ICE agents are staying, making noise late into the night to disrupt their sleep and calling on hotels not to allow agents to stay on their properties.
Federal officials in recent weeks have portrayed Minnesota\u2019s Somali community as a hotspot for fraud involving millions of federal dollars intended for social services. Immigrant-rights advocates have accused the administration of using the fraud investigations as an excuse to target Somali immigrants more broadly.
Shares of the hotel chain were down 1.5% in afternoon trading.<\/p>\n
