The Motel 6 chain will have to pay a fine of nickel. "Many [chain establishments] Motel 6 provided personal information about their guests to ICE daily without an order," she said. "From 2015 to 2017, 7 branches in Washington shared the information of approximately 80,000 guests."
Such information included driver's license numbers, passports, and green cards, or green cards, as they are popularly known. Likewise, the aforementioned premises revealed the room number, date of birth and license plate number of said persons to ICE. Once the information was received, the agency focused on the names of the guests who sounded Latino, according to USA Today.
The company reached an agreement in court where it is established that they will not share their clients' information in United States premises unless there is an expressly issued court order, law or subpoena requiring it.
"The safety and well-being of our guests, including the protection of their personal information, is our top priority and we are pleased that we have reached a solution to this matter," the company said in a lawsuit settlement.
This lawsuit comes just months after Motel 6 had to pay another large amount to settle a class action lawsuit against him for leaking information about his employees to ICE. Back then, the company had to pay $ 7.6 million for said practice, which according to the Mexican American Fund for Legal Defense (MALDEF) caused employees to be interrogated at its facilities by immigration agents and then deported. At least 8 people were affected.
