flag Hilton ended its franchise deal with a Minneapolis hotel that refused to host ICE agents over ethical concerns.

Due to ethical concerns raised by the property's refusal to host U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, Hilton terminated its franchise agreement with a hotel in Minneapolis. The decision was made in response to allegations that the hotel had cancelled reservations for federal agents from ICE and the Department of Homeland Security, which sparked criticism and investigation. Hilton distanced itself from the hotel's actions, stating that the action is consistent with its corporate policy of neutrality and compliance with federal contracts. With immediate effect, the property is no longer associated with the Hilton brand.
