Yeah, Security Concerns.

It's worth noting that the St. Paul Doubletree and Intercontinental are both owned by the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe's hospitality group. ICE has been harassing Native people in the region and tribal governments have taken notice.

Yeah, right, "Safety Concerns"

It seems that 2 hotels in St. Paul are shutting down, and hence evicting the ICE agents staying there, citing safety concerns.

I believe the statements of the hotel.

Given the cordial relations between ICE officers and aboriginal Americans, I am sure that the owners of these businesses spared no effort to stay open in order to accommodate their guests.

Or not.
