Let’s show Hilton a little love, shall we?
I don’t know how long this will last — I suspect it is a local thing, not from on high at Hilton Corporate — but we can help out by making standing up look profitable and compliance look costly.

Just to be clear:
This is not just because somebody at Hilton Corporate has a stellar conscience. I mean, somebody there very well might — but that is not the reason for this. Corporations are by and large amoral actors even when the individuals within them are not.
This is surely because of activists banging pots and pans and drum kits outside the Hilton where ICE agents in MSP were staying, making the hotel a nightmare for everyone staying there and thus losing Hilton business.
Keep it up, activists!

As several replies have noted, Hilton‘s national leadership is trying to distance themselves from the whole thing — “We welcome everyone! Please don’t come at us!” — and are making it clear this was a local decision.
The problem is that now Hilton is in the spotlight, and if they force the local Hilton to let ICE back in, they’ll put themselves smack in the middle of a national firestorm (like the one Target still hasn’t recovered from…or worse).

Corporate overruled local. Let ‘em have it, folks.

@inthehands Wow, there's a Hampton Inn I have stayed at a few times, most recently only a couple of weeks ago. I'll have to reevaluate that, though I suspect most major chains will be just as bad.

@inthehands I waited about a half hour on Hilton's digital assistant to supposedly correspond with a real person, although it still felt like I was corresponding with a bot.
One snippet:
Them: We are actively 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.
Me: Hilton is glad the hotel changed its policies, and I'm horrified. No one should be providing accommodations to DHS.
Me: I don't want Hilton to be open and inviting to people at DHS.
But I did get an email to write to: HiltonHonors@Hilton.com
