Motel 6 employees in Washington State handed ICE agents information of 80,000 guests without requesting a warrant.
Description
For over two years Motel 6 employees would provide ICE agents with guest data such as names, date of birth, identification data, license plates, and room number without requesting a warrant. The ICE agents would then target Latin/ Hispanic minorities based on last names and hold them for questioning, detainment, and deportation.
A multitude of concerns arises from this practice. Motel 6's Secondary Use of data, Breach of Confidentiality, and Increased Accessibility of their guest data allowed ICE to Interrogate, Identify, and Intrude on the lives of many. Motel 6's disclosure of information without a warrant violated the company's privacy policy. To resolve the lawsuit that was filed against them they agreed to pay $12 million to those affected and have signed a legally binding document to stop volunteering guest information without a warrant present. However, that doesn't repair the damage that has already been done or the families that were torn.
