Homeland Security
@DHSgov
NO ROOM AT THE INN!
@HiltonHotels has launched a coordinated campaign in Minneapolis to REFUSE service to DHS law enforcement.
When officers attempted to book rooms using official government emails and rates, Hilton Hotels maliciously CANCELLED their reservations.
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?

Remember when Republicans claimed that government shouldn't be in the business of telling businesses how to run? They never meant it.

a flimsy character...perfidious and despised
DHS probably hasn't been paying the bills.

Why are you accusing the people you're pursuing of being murders and rapists without presenting any evidence to support those accusations?
Is there such a thing as a class-action slander lawsuit?

Just as I suspected, this is an independently owned franchise run Hilton.
Hilton Hotels has cut ties with the owners and removed the hotel from their system (and cancelled the franchise?).

Not sure exactly what the hotel was doing.
They probably couldn't stop someone working for ICE from staying there if they were on vacation and booked the room themselves. But, I suspect they may have had a policy to not accept bookings when made from certain government departments for "official" business.

This video is terrifying, and it’s exactly why “just comply” does not protect you from ICE/Border Patrol agents, even as U.S. citizens, and why you always film them.
In North Carolina, ICE/Border Patrol agents illegally stopped two U.S. citizens. They questioned them without legal cause, took their licenses, and admitted on camera that the men were allowed to record.
And they were still attacked.
In the video, one man asks if he can film for his safety. The agent says yes, saying that he’ll “have to put his mask on.” The agents take their licenses, ask where they’re from, where they live, what they’re doing in the area, all without legal authority. The men cooperate anyway.
Then the situation turns dangerous.
Another agent suddenly tells the driver, “Turn off your video. You are being detained, so you are not free to record.”
That is false. Recording law enforcement in public is legal, including during detention.
The driver calmly refuses, keeps one hand on the steering wheel as instructed, and holds his phone in the other.
That’s when the agent lunges for the phone.
The agent throws himself into the car, trying to grab the device. When the driver moves it away, the agent assaults him.
The agent then illegally opens the car door, something the driver correctly points out they are not allowed to do.
The agents keep demanding the filming stop, as multiple agents keep reaching for the phone.
Then they escalate again.
They threaten arrest, grab the driver, and start hitting him and trying to drag him out of the car, even though he keeps saying, “We haven’t done anything wrong.” When they fail to pull him out, they back away, visibly angry.
They turn on the passenger next.
An agent grabs him, threatens handcuffs, and assaults him trying to force him out of the vehicle. When that doesn’t work, they start yelling conflicting commands, claiming the men are “interfering with an investigation.”
An investigation into what?
Their own illegal stop.
At one point, an agent shouts that the men can’t interfere, while another tries… again… to grab the phone, almost certainly to stop or erase the recording.
Only after all of this do the agents finally release them.
Because they are U.S. citizens.
Because the stop was illegal.
And because the camera was still rolling.
This is why you film ICE.
This is why compliance doesn’t save you.
This is why they hate cameras.
If this hadn’t been recorded, this would be another lie in a report, another “resisting” accusation, another abuse buried and denied.
Film them. Always

ICE/Border Patrol agents are once again illegally arresting U.S. citizens in Minnesota.
In the video, you can hear the agent ask for ID AFTER he assaulted, tackled and handcuffed the man.
When the man asks why he’s being detained, the agent claims it’s because the car is registered to an undocumented immigrant. The man responds, “What? I’m a U.S. citizen.”
Despite this, the agent grabs his wallet and drags him toward an unmarked van… still without verifying his identity.
This isn’t law enforcement. This is reckless abuse of power.
If ICE can assault, arrest, and transport a U.S. citizen without confirming their identity, then no one is “safe” under this system.
This is what happens when agencies operate with impunity… and it’s exactly why these abuses must be documented, challenged, and stopped.

ICE/Border Patrol agents were posted up in a grocery store parking lot in Richfield, MN, stopping, detaining, and interrogating people based solely on how they look.
This is racial profiling. It is illegal.
In the video, an agent can be heard yelling at a bystander to “get back” while he illegally detains a random U.S. citizen and demands answers. No warrant. No probable cause. Just intimidation in a parking lot.
Another person filming correctly informs the man of his rights, that he does not have to answer a single question. That is exactly what everyone should be doing in these situations.
The moment multiple people started filming and asserting those rights, the agents suddenly backed off, got in their vehicle, and drove away.
Because they knew they were violating the law.
This is not “immigration enforcement.” This is unconstitutional harassment, and it only stops when people document it, speak up, and refuse to comply with illegal orders

As usual plenty of posters in the comments saying it's what they voted for, just comply, stop interfering with law enforcement and you will be OK. If you are a citizen you have nothing to fear. Just show your papers when ordered etc

Where's the "not actually shocked any more" emoji?
Do these guys get incentivised with a reward per alien detained? It does rather feel like one of those perverse incentive situations where if there's one part of the job which determines what they get paid, that's the part they will do over and over, even if it means riding roughshod over the law to maximise the number of times they can do it.
