In a stunning development on Monday, the Department of Homeland Security has just announced that Hilton Hotels has refused to provide rooms for DHS and ICE agents, and cancelled their reservations.
The announcement from DHS reads:
NO ROOM AT THE INN! @HiltonHotels has launched a coordinated campaign in Minneapolis to REFUSE service to DHS law enforcement.
When officers attempted to book rooms using official government emails and rates, Hilton Hotels maliciously CANCELLED their reservations.
This is UNACCEPTABLE. Why is Hilton Hotels siding with murderers and rapists to deliberately undermine and impede DHS law enforcement from their mission to enforce our nation’s immigration laws?

DHS also shared a copy of two emails one DHS agent received on January 2, at 2:45 p.m. regarding their reservation. The first email reads:
This email is in regards to the reservation you made with the Hampton Inn Lakeville property.
We have noticed an influx of GOV reservations made today that have been for DHS, and we ware not allowing any ICE or immigration agents to stay at our property. If you are with DHS or immigration, let us know as we will have to cancel your reservation.
Please pass on this info to your coworkers that we are not allowing any immigration agents to house on our property. Reply at your earliest convenience.
Less than two hours later, a second email was sent, which reads:
After further investigation online, we have found information about immigration work connected with your name and we will be cancelling your upcoming reservation. You should see a proper cancellation email in yoru inbox shortly from Hilton.
ICE also posted a copy of the emails and wrote, “Hey @HiltonHotels — why did your team in Minneapolis cancel our federal law enforcement officer and agents’ reservations?”

The House Republicans X account demanded, “Why is @HiltonHotels running cover for criminal illegal aliens in Minnesota and maliciously canceling reservations for our brave men and women in law enforcement?”

News Nation reporter Jeff Arnold reached out to Hilton Hotels, who responded with the following statement:
“Hilton hotels serve as welcoming places for all. This hotel is independently owned and operated, and the actions referenced are not reflective of Hilton values. We 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.”

However, the train wreck has already started, and social media is literally EXPLODING with outrage. Many conservatives are declaring they will now boycott Hilton Hotels. Below are just a FEW of the thousands of comments being posted:
Yikes, they put it in writing too. Hilton PR is about to have a rough day. https://t.co/vOxwcDzKbw

This is what happens when you let foreigners run hotels in the US.

Uh oh @HiltonHotels. Turn your mentions off. Things are going to get ugly for you in a hurry. https://t.co/qeSlSzbANP

Wow. Looks like I’m going to have to reconsider staying at Hilton Hotels. https://t.co/oEZV7i2cbB

@HiltonHotels As a Diamond member with 30 stays just this past year, you have lost this customer. I stand for law and order. You clearly stand for criminal illegal aliens. Your actions look suspect and I suspect the @DOJ will be looking into your involvement. Shameful behavior.… https://t.co/ktizNuIvcC
