They apparently are sharing their guest lists with ICE.

If this proves out, I hope they go bankrupt.

(24,333 posts)A lot of anti-government types in Bigot Town. Motel 6 giving the names of everyone who stays there will not make them happy. It's fine to report on someone else. But them? Not so much

Yes meant go get a warrant and then come back (and once that's done you don't need to tell the staff anything, but we'd appreciate it if you did).
No meant don't come back unless we call you for a problem.
The local PD in the community there knew there shit, were and are PROFESSIONAL and understood that they were Public SERVANTS.
The fucking COUNTY sent a full-on SWAT team with long guns for a drug bust for someone who wasn't even there.
Because they're kinda the opposite of who the CityPD guys are.

(60,010 posts)ALL the names...even of citizens, of non-Latinos.
EVERYONE.
Every morning at about 5 oclock, we do the audit and we push a button and it sends it to ICE.
which means ICE has a computer program set up.
No way is this limited to 2 motels in that area, and/or in the SW.

Motel 6 is extremely enthusiastic about cooperating with law enforcement, and, elsewhere in the country,
has been criticized by the ACLU for sharing guest lists with local police.

(89,262 posts)because they are traveling and don't have other places or can't afford other places.
i wish i was able to travel more but motel 6 would never be some place i would consider. and if i did it would have to be for the above reasons.
