As Twitchy readers know, the Minneapolis Hilton was actively discriminating against DHS law enforcement officers staying at their property. Following significant public pushback, Hilton apologized and said the matter was resolved.
About that ...
🚨 BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: I went into the Minnesota Hilton who “apologized” for banning DHS agents, and EXPOSED them for CONTINUING to ban DHS agents@HiltonHotels has decided they want the FULL BUDLIGHT treatment at this point.

Post continues:
... in their statement yesterday which said they were “in touch” with DHS to accommodate impacted agents, and “do not discriminate against any individuals or agencies.”NONE of that was true. There was NO attempt to reach DHS agents to make it right, per Asst. DHS Sec. @TriciaOhio
Even the FRONT DESK manager said he had spoken with the owner shortly before I walked in around 10:50 pm, and confirmed the ANTI-DHS POLICY REMAINED IN EFFECT.
REVOKE THEIR LICENSE, HILTON, OR IT’S GOING TO COST YOU DEARLY. YOU’VE BEEN WARNED.
This is an INCREDIBLY dumb battle to choose!
Sounds like Hilton has a problem here.
Worth noting this occurred many hours after Everpeak Hospitality and @HiltonHotels issued statements insisting this issue was resolved. https://t.co/P67y5RH27Q

So, they LIED.
Yeah, a HUGE problem here.
If the hotel owner lied in their statement and the below allegation is confirmed, @Hilton corporate could terminate the hotel owner’s franchise. Hilton is investigating this now. https://t.co/M9swmDa2fr

In response, Hilton Hotels has terminated the franchise effective IMMEDIATELY.
Apparently, @HiltonHotels is terminating the franchise effective immediately. Credit to @nicksortor for his investigative work. https://t.co/DHjh30Dh9p
