Motel 6 will pay $12 million to settle lawsuit after sharing guest info with ICE, official says.
Motel 6 agreed to pay $12 million to settle a lawsuit that accused several Washington state locations of sharing personal guest information with U.S. immigration officials.for more than two years, resulting in a "targeted" ICE investigation into guests with Latino-sounding names, the Washington state attorney general's office announced Thursday.
The unlawful disclosures resulted in "ICE’s targeted investigation of many guests with Latino-sounding names" and caused some to be separated from their families, according to the attorney general's office. "ICE agents approached him in the hotel’s parking lot, detained him and deported him some days later. His wife had to retrieve the presents and his other belongings from the Motel 6 after his arrest," the attorney general's office said. "The man was the sole provider for the household, and his wife is currently struggling to support their toddler and four other children."
