In Arizona, the Phoenix New Times reports employees of the Motel 6 chain shared the names of hotel guests with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, leading to the arrests of at least 20 people. The New Times reports at least a third of the arrests came after ICE agents knocked on motel room doors without a search warrant and asked for permission to enter. A Motel 6 spokesperson said the program was implemented at the local level without the knowledge of senior management, and promised the company would order managers at more than 1,400 locations not to share guest lists with immigration authorities.
