After a nationwide class-action lawsuit against Motel 6, the chain agreed to pay as much as $7.6 million to guests who said their private information was given to U.S. immigration agents, according to court records.

Former guests sued Motel 6 over privacy violations earlier this year, alleging that the chain handed over their personal information to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit came after a 2017 Phoenix New Times report that ICE agents made at least 20 arrests at two Motel 6 locations in Arizona.

Because they classify them as “victims” in the Reverse Parallel Universe they live in.

Up is down, left is right, in is out, hot is cold, black is white, round is square...

If we had a ‘real’ Attorney General, not afraid to be disliked by the Dems, this lawsuit may not have gotten to this point. I hope Motel 6 appeals, or draaaaags it out for a good 18 years.
