What's worse than Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents being banned from checking into a major hotel chain? A rogue employee at one of those hotels, which does welcome ICE agents, who takes it upon him or herself to steal the agents' personal information and crib surveillance footage showing their faces. To add fuel to that fire, the employee then posts the images and information to left-wing social media. Sadly, this imagined scenario has become a reality.
A breaking story from Fox News White House correspondent, Bill Melugin.

BREAKING: An independently owned Marriott hotel in Bloomington, MN confirms to @FoxNews they have ID'd & fired an employee who doxxed ICE agents by leaking their names, emails, and surveillance images of them as they checked in at the front desk. The images appeared in an anti-ICE Reddit post that went up last night. I took screenshots of the posts before they were deleted, and I have blurred the names, emails, and faces of the ICE agents. The hotel in question was the Residence Inn in Bloomington. The photos appeared to be from the perspective of an employee at the front desk, were posted to an "ICE WATCH MN" thread, and had the captions "ICE staying at Residence Inn in Bloomington by MOA" & "Three males & three females staying at this hotel. Company email and some of their names."
We know what the Left really wants are dead ICE agents. Full stop. This is why they bitch about ICE agents wearing masks and obscuring the license plates on their vehicles: they want them exposed and vulnerable; as if they aren't already. The agents do all they can to protect their names and personal information, because a leak of any of this information that can be traced back to them will expose not just him or her, but their families and friends.
It's not just their lives that are on the line, and with mentally unstable individuals like the transgender-leaning man who recently tried to break into the Ohio home of VP JD Vance and the one who planned to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, but was arrested around his D.C. home, these agents cannot afford to have their loved ones put at risk.

Those attempting to dox the ICE agent involved in the Minneapolis incident are proving exactly why agents wear masks.

But for these sick individuals, it's all about the ends, so the means are justified. Like this brilliant (/sarc) Hilton employee in Dallas who did a TikTok video while still in uniform, admitting that she doxed ICE agents. She said she doesn't care if she loses her job because she cares about "the families and unity."

Well, bye.
Meet Gia, an employee at the @HiltonHotels Anatole in Dallas. Yesterday, she posted a TikTok, apparently thinking it would be “noble” to dox ICE agents staying at the hotel and put their lives, as well as the safety of other hotel guests, in danger.

Melugin reached out to the Marriott corporation for comment, and they referred him to the affiliate that owns the hotel. This company reached back to Melugin, and informed him in a statement that the employee had been fired.
I reached out to Marriott last night for comment, and they referred me to the independent ownership, CSM Lodging.
In a statement to FOX, CSM Lodging confirms they identified and fired the employee.
CSM Lodging statement to FOX:
"The privacy and safety of our guests is of the utmost importance to us. Upon learning of this situation last evening, we immediately investigated the matter and identified the person responsible for capturing the images in the post. This individual is not longer an employee of our organization."
Now its time for CSM Lodging to go one step further and turn this individual in to the FBI so they can give him or her a mugshot, a perp walk, and the Department of Justice can mount a speedy trial. If there are not swift consequences for these evil actions, the unhinged factions will only keep upping the ante.
