Hotel Chains: Don't become temporary ICE detention centers

Hotels have no place in Trump's hateful policies attacking immigrants. Hotel companies should publicly refuse to allow any of their properties to contract with ICE, and deny any assistance in the deportation of people and families.

Why is this important?

ICE is still planning to execute raids to deport children and families. Whether it happens in two weeks (per Trump's threat) or in two months, using hotel rooms as temporary jails is a crucial part of this plan, because ICE cannot legally hold children in its adult detention facilities.

Hotels should put people over profits and publicly refuse to work with ICE to execute Trump's disgusting attack on immigrant families.

We've researched nine hotel chains that run the low-cost properties most likely to be used by ICE and are calling on each of them to publicly commit that they won't participate in the planned raids on families and kids.
