Minnesota Hotel Cancels ICE Agents Reservations

A Hampton Inn hotel in Lakeville, Minnesota, canceled reservations for federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents last week, prompting accusations from the Department of Homeland Security of interference with law enforcement operations. The incident, which occurred on a Friday, involved agents attempting to book rooms using official government email addresses and rates at the property, located about 20 miles south of Minneapolis.

According to screenshots shared by the Department of Homeland Security on social media, the hotel notified the agents that their reservations were being canceled after staff identified connections to immigration enforcement activities. One email stated that the property had noticed an influx of government reservations linked to the Department of Homeland Security and would not allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement or immigration agents to stay. The department described the cancellations as part of a broader effort to refuse service to its personnel, calling the actions unacceptable and detrimental to immigration law enforcement.
