STOP Hilton from Powering the ICE Machine

 

Hotels Shouldn’t Be Staging Grounds for Deportation

 

Dear Hilton franchisee, 

​

You didn’t sign up to run a hotel that supports immigration enforcement. And yet, that’s exactly the position Hilton has put its franchisees in — by enabling contracts, lodging, and infrastructure for federal immigration enforcement.

 

This isn’t neutral.

 

It puts your workers at risk. It makes your guests unsafe. It destabilizes the very communities your business depends on. And it threatens your bottom line.

 

 

 

This Is Already Happening

 

Across the country, people are taking action. From Los Angeles to Minneapolis, New York City to Portland (Maine), Tampa to beyond — communities are organizing, protesting, and boycotting Hilton properties tied to immigration enforcement. Inside hotel lobbies. Outside hotel doors. In booking decisions. And it’s working.

 

Hotels are beginning to refuse reservations from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and other collaborating agencies.

 

When Hilton retaliates, communities are stepping in — supporting the hotels that choose people over profit. This is a line being drawn in real time.

 

Franchisees: This Is Your Moment

 

You are not powerless. In fact, you are the leverage.

 

Franchise agreements give you control over what happens inside your hotel:

• Who you contract with

• What events you host

• What business you accept
   

If franchisees refuse to house immigration enforcement, Hilton cannot sustain these relationships.

 

That’s the pressure point.

 

Join fellow franchisees, community members, and customers in calling on Hilton Corporation to:

• End all contracts with immigration enforcement agencies

• Stop retaliating against franchisees who refuse ICE-related business

We Keep Us Safe

 

This campaign is grounded in a simple truth: Safety doesn’t come from enforcement.

Safety comes from the community. Right now, people are organizing economic pressure — boycotts, cancellations, and public accountability — to disrupt the infrastructure that allows immigration enforcement to operate. Hotels are a critical part of that infrastructure. And that means hotels can also be a critical part of stopping it.

The Business Case: Protect Your Bottom Line

 

Let’s be clear, this isn’t just about values. It’s about business.

With the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaching, the hospitality industry is about to see a surge in global travel and spending.

 

But today’s travelers are paying attention.

 

They are choosing where to stay based on safety, values, and alignment.

And they are actively avoiding hotels tied to immigration enforcement.

 

Already, conventions are relocating. Faith groups are canceling bookings. Advocacy organizations are shifting business to competitors. Franchise owners absorb those losses. Hilton Corporation does not. ICE-related bookings will not make up the difference.

 

A clear stance now protects your future revenue.

 

This Is an Invitation

 

You don’t have to choose between your community and your business. The truth is: your community is your business.

 

Take a stand now, and people will stand with you.

 

Refuse ICE contracts.

Sign the letter here.

Put pressure on Hilton from the inside.

And together, we shift what’s possible.
