Hilton drops Minneapolis hotel that lied about immigration agent ban

The global hotel chain was swiftly denounced Monday after Homeland Security shared an email from the Hampton Inn by Hilton in Lakeville notifying the agency it was canceling reservations made by agents ahead of an immigration enforcement deployment.

“The independent hotel owner had assured us that they had fixed this problem and published a message confirming this,” read a statement from Hilton posted on X Tuesday morning.

“As such, we are taking immediate action to remove this hotel from our systems.”

The statement also referenced a video shot by conservative influencer Nick Sortor in which he visited the property and was told by the front desk agent that reservations under DHS or ICE were not allowed, per management, despite the operator Everpeak Hotels releasing a statement to the contrary just hours earlier.

“We’re not accepting people from immigration, ICE agents, DHS onto our property … it’s just policy,” the clerk told Sortor in the video on X viewed nearly 2 million times.
