Advocacy groups urge Marriott, MGM and others not to house migrants who have been arrested by ICE officers.
DETROIT — There's a new target in the clash over immigration: hotels.
Hotels don't like to wade into politics. They're used to accepting business without questions and tuning their lobby televisions to nonpolitical channels. They're also used to working with the government, whether to host displaced flood victims, defense contractors or conferences. The companies also needed to reassure customers that their properties are safe and not overrun by armed guards watching migrants, said Daniel Mount, an associate professor of hospitality management at Pennsylvania State University.But the hotels' stance frustrates Acting ICE Director Matthew Albence. He said ICE uses hotels"strategically" to keep families together before transferring them to detention centers or deporting them.
Hotel companies could change those agreements to ban the practice, but waiting for the deals to expire and rolling out new ones would take years, Mount said. And not all hotel owners would back the change.
