Crane removes Hampton Inn by Hilton sign from Minnesota hotel that allegedly denied service to DHS, ICE agents

General Services Administration terminated Minnesota hotel from federal lodging program

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Photos emerged Thursday showing a crane removing the sign of a Hampton Inn hotel in the Minneapolis area that allegedly refused to accommodate U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and immigration officers.

The formerly Hilton-branded property in Lakeville was stripped of its Hilton label by the hotel chain on Tuesday morning after a video surfaced appearing to show that the location continued to deny immigration officers despite Hilton Hotels saying that the venue had apologized and that “properties are open to everyone, and we do not tolerate any form of discrimination.”

The images showed the sign being lifted off its supports by a crane set up in the hotel’s parking lot.

Hilton did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday from Fox News Digital. It’s unclear who is now operating the hotel. A phone number linked to the property appeared to be disconnected when called.
