ice agents: When we became aware of it last week, it was discontinued, according to CTV. Statement Regarding Recent Media Reports on Phoenix-area Location Motel 6 motel6 14 September 2017 Employees at a Motel 6 near a stretch of other budget motels, discount stores and fast food restaurants - refused to answer questions Thursday and referred all queries to corporate headquarters. In a tweet about reports first published in the Phoenix New Times, Motel 6 said Wednesday This was implemented at the local level without the knowledge of senior management. The news that Motel 6 workers in Phoenix were aiding ICE agents immediately thrust the chain into the national immigration debate, with some detractors complaining about its vague and tepid statement. They'll leave the light on - for ICE and police, Cecilia Wang, national deputy director for the American Civil Liberties Union, said in a tweet. Social media exploded with criticism and satire aimed at the budget motel chain, with some playing off its slogan We'll leave the light on for you. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
