Hilton is booting an independently franchised Minneapolis hotel from operating under its name after it banned immigration agents and then lied about reversing the policy. 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 cancelling 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.
