Motel 6 CEO Jim Amorosia: Stop calling ICE on your customers, and apologize, now

In light of recent reports that Motel 6 employees are sending U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lists of customers to interrogate, we demand an explanation, apology, and immediate end to this practice.

Motel 6 may have a CEO with close ties to Trump, but the company has no place in immigration enforcement.

This is a shameful practice that must end.

Why is this important?

Motel 6—which is controlled by the CEO of the Blackstone Group, one of Donald Trump's biggest supporters—is suspected of calling ICE to report undocumented guests.

Employees at two locations in Arizona, where more than 20 arrests by ICE have been made in recent months, confirmed rumors, telling local media: "We send a report every morning to ICE -- all the names of everybody that comes in."

Let that sink in for a minute.

Motel 6 is literally taking money from immigrant customers, and then calling immigration agents to come round them up, jail them, and deport them if they can find a reason. This is unacceptable.

Adding insult to injury, Motel 6 has released a statement claiming this was an isolated incident and the practice "was discontinued." That's it. No change in policies, no employees disciplined, no increased oversight.

We can't let Motel 6 get away with these anti-immigrant practices. Demand that Motel 6 ensures none of their branches are cooperating with ICE.

Together we can show callous companies and CEO's that they are not above basic decency.
