    They backpetaled:

    The company then pointed to a statement on Everspeak Hospitality’s website, saying this was the respective hotel. “Everpeak Hospitality has moved swiftly to address this matter as it was inconsistent with our policy of being a welcoming place for all. We 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,” the statement said.

      They still got disowned and dumped by Hilton corporate:

      Hilton removing MN hotel that denied ICE bookings from its system

      Corporate scumbags throwing the hotel owner under the bus so they can continue profiting from the Gestapo. How can a hotel full of ICE thugs be a welcoming place for all?

        They’re better off not being attached to a Nazi-loving corp anyway.

          One would think. They probably now owe Hilton a fortune and still have to pay to rebrand everything.

        They know most people don’t read past headlines. They got the good headline.

      They should just behave like Trump’s admin: making a statement while actually not doing anything to “accomodate the guests”, keep taking their reservations and cancel them at the last minute again, for a different bullshit reason every time.
