One or more Hilton hotels in the greater Minneapolis area are refusing to rent rooms to ICE and other immigration enforcement agents, and cancelling already-made reservations. According to a Townhall column, it isn’t clear if this is Hilton corporate policy or that of the local franchisee, which appears to be owned by East Indians. Hat tip to Lucianne.com for the link.
The article suggests people who support immigration enforcement might wish to boycott Hilton properties when other alternatives are available. If it turns out that this is only the local franchise owners, a review of their immigration status might determine denaturalization is in their futures.
Later … it turns out Hilton Corporate wants no part of the Minneapolis Hilton’s “No ICE” rule. Here is Hilton’s corporate policy.
Presumably the ICE ban is the local franchisee with their panties in a twist. Perhaps they should be running hotels in Mumbai and Delhi, not Minneapolis and St. Paul. A review of their immigration and naturalization status is in order, as noted above.
