A Minneapolis Hilton hotel canceled reservations made by ICE agents, prompting a response from the Department of Homeland Security. The hotel cited an influx of DHS reservations and stated they would not accommodate ICE agents. Hilton's corporate office stated the cancellations were not reflective of their values and that they are investigating the incident with the independently owned and operated hotel. The incident occurred after the Trump administration deployed officers to Minnesota following allegations of fraud against Somali immigrants. The hotel's Google reviews have since been flooded with both positive and negative feedback, and Hilton's stock price experienced a slight dip. Protests have occurred at hotels nationwide housing ICE agents, and immigrant-rights advocates accuse the administration of targeting Somali immigrants under the guise of fraud investigations.
