Hilton Corporate has finally taken action against the despicable ‘independent’ Hilton hotel in Minneapolis that banned ICE and DHS agents, thanks to the dogged efforts of independent conservative journalist Nick Sortor.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Department of Homeland Security’s X account shared a disturbing email on Monday showing that Hilton Hotels had abruptly cancelled reservations for DHS officers in Minneapolis for daring to round up dangerous illegal aliens.
The specific Hilton hotel in question is the Hampton Inn Lakeville property.
“After further investigation online, we have found information about immigration work connected to your name, and we will be canceling your reservation,” the email read.
In another email, the hotel warned patrons that “if you are DHS or immigration, please let us know, as we will have to cancel your reservation.”
After the DHS rightfully expressed its outrage, Hilton Corporate announced in a statement that it would investigate the matter.
Hilton Corporate later released a statement saying they had been in touch with the hotel’s independent ownership, Everpeak, who apologized and assured them the situation had been rectified. DHS agents would supposedly be allowed to return to the establishment.
UPDATE: In an additional statement to @FoxNews, Hilton says they’ve been directly in touch the independent ownership of the hotel & they have apologized for the actions of their team & have taken immediate action to rectify the situation.

But Sortor went to the hotel Monday night and quickly discovered that the statement was an outright lie.
The journalist went to the front desk and asked the front desk to book some rooms for DHS agents. He had previously conducted research and knew that there were 10 rooms available.
But the front desk clerk informed Sortor that the anti-immigration law enforcement order remained in effect, contrary to management’s previous statement. He made it clear that he had just spoken to the owner, who confirmed that no changes had been made.

Following the release of Sortor’s video, Hilton released a statement calling out the owner for lying and announced they were taking “immediate action” to remove the hotel from their systems.
From Hilton:
The independent hotel owner had assured us that they had fixed the problem and published a message confirming this. A recent video clearly raises concerns that they are not meeting our standards and values.
As such, we are taking immediate action to remove this hotel from our systems. Hilton is and has always been and remains a welcoming place for all.
