Motel 6 guests who were deported to Mexico sue hotel chain's Carrollton owner for informing ICE
30 MIN AGO
Jane N. and her husband checked into a Motel 6 on June 28, 2017, seeking air-conditioned relief from Phoenix temperatures surpassing 100 degrees.
The next morning, the couple was awakened by immigration agents pounding on the door and subsequently detained. Two days later, Jane N. was deported to Mexico. She blames the motel.
Jane and her husband, John M., are among eight people identified by pseudonyms who claim the discount chain disclosed its guest logs to federal immigration agents so they could round up undocumented residents.
In the lawsuit, a proposed class action filed Tuesday in Arizona federal court, they accuse Carrollton-based parent company G6 Hospitality of conspiring with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to violate their rights under the U.S. Constitution and Arizona's false imprisonment law.
