A Hilton Hotel Refuses Service to the DHS

Hilton Hotels is going to have a very bad week. They've decided to opt for the Bud Light Treatment and align themselves with the Left's anti-Trump "Resist" movement.
How?
By denying hotel rooms in Minneapolis to government officials. Both the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have called out the hotel mega-chain.
"When officers attempted to book rooms using official government emails and rates, Hilton Hotels maliciously CANCELLED their reservations," DHS wrote on X. "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 an email from a Hilton employee with the subject "Upcoming reservation."
In the email, the employee wrote, "After further investigation online, we have found immigration work connected with your name, and we will be canceling your upcoming reservation. You should see a proper cancellation email in your inbox shortly from Hilton."

NO ROOM AT THE INN!@HiltonHotels has launched a coordinated campaign in Minneapolis to REFUSE service to DHS law enforcement.

How much do you want to bet that your taxpayer-subsidized loans bought this hotel for foreigners?

I wonder if the owners bought this hotel using a race-based, special federal program/set aside from the Small Business Administration. Someone should investigate! @SBAgov @AAGDhillon

But Tricia McLaughlin of the DHS says it's not just this one Hilton Hotel refusing service to the DHS, but multiple Hilton Hotels.

It is also possible that canceling the "contract" (reservation) is a criminal offense and could debar Hilton from doing any further business with the federal government.

37 Losing the franchise also means they lose their entire POS system, reservations system, corporate supplier agreements, etc etc. If they have an SBA loan, they can get hit with an immediate call on the balance as part of the approval would have been the strength in the branding.

Posted by: Romeo13 at January 05, 2026 05:12 PM (mP0Kj)

62 I marvel at the level of stupidity it took to put this in writing.

Basically, Trump can call the head of Hilton and say, "cancel their franchise, seize the property, pay them nothing and we can forget this."

And they'll do it.

$10 million in legal fees is nothing to what they stand to lose.

Almost certainly but I would be surprised if the franchise agreement didn't have some kind of clause about bring ill repute to the parent corp. That is, I expect the parent corp to have some... "input" into how this gets resolved.

73 There has to be some consistency / control between Hilton and its franchisee. They can’t tell us a franchise is free to do whatever it wants, particularly when it causes potentially serious harm to the whole organization.

For example, years ago a Dunkin’s franchisee was owned by immigrants took pork products off the menu. Dunkin’s told them they have to offer the full menu or sell back the franchise.

Lotsa booze, drugs, and sex. No, I didn’t with her. In fact, if I didn’t know better, I’d swear she wasn’t into guys.

188 Everpeak Hospitality Reaffirms Commitment to Welcoming All Guests & Agencies

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. We are committed to welcoming all guests and operating in accordance with brand standards, applicable laws, and our role as a professional hospitality provider.

Because the owners told them to.

No matter how this settles out, that franchise is in deep $hit with the feds and I am not just talking bad publicity.

263 > People still stay at hotels? I stay exclusively at AirBNB or VRBO now.

Why?

Many of those property owners have gone nuts with their chores list you have to complete, and then they pile on a cleaning fee even if you leave the place spotless.

Hotels are easier to work with and as long as you don't trash the place, you don't have any chores or cleaning fees.

Also, name brand hotels are much less likely to have hidden cameras inside the rooms.

I’ve heard this but honestly I have never experienced it myself. The chore list is basically put dishes in dishwasher, take out the garbage and put towels and linens in a pile in the laundry room. It’s like 5 minutes. For me it’s whatever.
And the cleaning fee is just part of the room rate.

The last couple of places I stayed at before I swore off AirBNB were barely cheaper than a nice hotel per night and the cleaning fee bumped it up to the price of a really nice hotel.

Non techies probably don't even think about computer security and apple I phones were supposed to be so secure. Some might not have even realized the photos were actually in the cloud and not on the phone.

I am a low and suspicious bastard and figure anything I post online is public anyway.

Even there, I have security service suites that see my name or info pop up at databrokers and I get it stomped on and removed.

Now retired, I don't care as much about OpSec but identify fraud and hacking accounts is something that I worry about.

281 I have been a "Hilton Rewards" member for years. I just communicated with a rep. "He" gave me the corporate song-and-dance about 'we are looking into this matter', etc. I told him, cancel my membership, and that it is precisely for this action (DHS in MN). I told him, 'Until corporate feels financial pain', nothing will happen. There are plenty of other options out there. No great loss - Hilton sucks.

The cracker barrel in Sherman Texas took a huge hit over the woke bull$hit. Before the madness you could not get a parking spot on saturday or sunday mornings there. If you were lucky you could park in the liquor store lot up the hill and walk over and get in line. We went by there last saturday morning about 9 and there were dozens of empty parking spots in the lot and there was no line out the door like there normally is.

The hotel alternatives like homewood suites (Hilton brand) fit the same bill.

Cracker Barrel had already pissed a lot of customers off by deteriorating food choices and quality.

Pork donuts are a thing around these parts. To an extent. Maple bars with bacon bits all over them. Not my thing. I like my maple donuts to be all-maple. But definitely a donut topped with pig meat that, technically, you could call a "pork donut" if so inclined.
