Protesters accused the hotel of hosting federal immigration officers amid a major immigration enforcement wave, with about 65 arrested, police and witnesses said.
- On Tuesday, dozens of protesters were arrested after occupying the lobby of a Hilton Garden Inn in Manhattan, with an Associated Press photographer witnessing detainees loaded into buses.
- Amid this month’s immigration operation, President Donald Trump's administration has faced widespread opposition and two deaths in Minneapolis this month intensified criticism.
- Protesters packed into the small lobby wearing shirts that read `Hilton houses ICE`, while a New York Police Department spokesperson said officers ordered the crowd to leave.
- A person at Hilton Garden Inn declined to comment, Hilton's press office did not return an email request Tuesday night, and Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said officer lodging would not be disclosed.
- The incident poses challenges for hotel chains, as Hilton and others have struggled with protests and the immigration crackdown, underscoring tensions between private businesses and enforcement agencies.
