Protesters accused the hotel of hosting federal immigration officers amid a major immigration enforcement wave, with about 65 arrested, police and witnesses said.
- On Tuesday, dozens of protesters were arrested after occupying the lobby of a Hilton Garden Inn in Manhattan, with an Associated Press photographer witnessing detainees loaded into buses.
- Amid this month’s immigration operation, President Donald Trump's administration has faced widespread opposition and two deaths in Minneapolis this month intensified criticism.
