Motel 6 Agrees To Pay Millions After Giving Guest Lists To Immigration Authorities

Posted on November 6, 2018June 25, 2025 by Dissent

Camila Domonoske reports:

The hotel chain Motel 6 has agreed to pay $7.6 million to settle a class-action lawsuit after multiple Motel 6 locations gave guest lists to Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

Sharing those lists led to arrests and deportations of an as-yet-unknown number of hotel guests.

The settlement deal was tentatively reached in July, but details were not public until this week.
