Hilton drops Minneapolis hotel that lied about immigration agent ban
Hilton is booting an independently franchised Minneapolis hotel from operating under its name after it banned immigration agents and then lied about reversing the policy. The global hotel chain was swiftly denounced Monday after Homeland Security shared an email from the Hampton Inn by Hilton in Lakeville notifying the agency it was cancelling reservations made by agents ahead of an immigration enforcement deployment. “The independent hotel owner had assured us that they had fixed this problem and published a message confirming this,” read a statement from Hilton posted on X Tuesday morning. Hilton is booting the independently franchised Hampton Inn in Lakeville, Minneapolis, from operating under its name after it banned immigration agents and then lied about reversing the policy. Google Maps “As such, we are taking immediate action to remove this hotel from our systems.” The statement also referenced a video shot by conservative influencer Nick Sortor in which he visited the property and was told by the front desk agent that reservations under DHS or ICE were not allowed, per management, despite the operator Everpeak Hospitality releasing a statement to the contrary just hours earlier. “We’re not accepting people from immigration, ICE agents, DHS onto our property …
I’m 72 on Social Security and Just Found Out My Neighborhood Is Full of Free Food
I’ve lived in the same spot for 30 years, but lately, my Social Security check is gone before the month ends. I was literally eating toast for dinner to save money. Then a friend at the senior center showed me Food Radar. I honestly couldn’t believe my eyes. The map showed five different spots within 2 miles of my apartment giving away food today. I drove to the closest pin—a local church pantry. They filled my trunk with fresh vegetables, milk, and canned goods. I didn’t know this help was right under my nose the whole time.
‘I was gonna take a bath before bed’: Woman checks into Seattle Hilton hotel at 1am. Then she turns the bath on
The occasional oddity is all part of the hotel experience—but TikTok user Isabella Olivas (@isabellamolivas) discovered something on another level while staying in what she claims to be a Hilton hotel. In the clip, which took place in the hotel bathroom, Olivas stood in front of the bath and started by saying, “Um… I have never seen a bathtub like this before. I’m in a hotel. I just got in. It’s like 1 am, and I was gonna take a bath before bed.” She then proceeds to turn the bath on via a knob (which has a written notice hanging on it) on the wall—but surprisingly, water pours from high up on the ceiling. “I have never seen anything like that, and I’m here alone, and that scared me so much,” she admitted, before adding that some water went on her head. “That is… crazy. Why is it coming from the ceiling?” The video amassed 2 million views. Wait, what’s up with this tub? In a follow-up video , Olivas clarified what the written notice on the knob actually said. The notice read, “We love our tubs! We hope you do too. Please monitor the water level carefully as it
Woman boards Delta flight. Mid-way she looks over, can’t believe what seatmate is doing to pass the time: ‘This feels dangerous’
A woman flew with Delta, expecting to have a relaxing flight. However, she looked over to her seat neighbor and noticed them doing something incredibly dangerous and a little outrageous. Saying nothing in her video, @abernathy_habit let her face speak for itself. As she panned over to her seatmate, she managed to capture the woman actively curling her hair. With what? A curling iron that she plugged into Delta’s on-flight outlets. She then posted the clip to TikTok on Dec. 31, 2025. Many commenters asked how the woman sitting in an aisle seat wasn’t stopped by Delta’s flight crew or even banned from the aircraft. Since then, the video has garnered 3.5 million viewers. Why is a curling iron a fire hazard? One of the reasons commenters were so deeply appalled by the woman’s brazen use of a curling iron on board a Delta Airlines flight is that it creates an obvious fire hazard. The electrical system could quickly catch fire with one wrong mishap or movement. This should make it a “big no-no” on an aircraft. Any fire onboard an aircraft can immediately risk the lives of passengers, no matter how small it is. On an aircraft, there is
Daughter shares rare look inside a cruise ship captain’s living quarters
Crew members typically don’t have large cruise ship cabins. Oftentimes, they have to share a tiny stateroom with another coworker, with the cabins barely large enough to fit bunk beds, a small desk, and a closet. Cruise ship captains, however, live very differently. Captains oversee all onboard operations to ensure that the ship is safely operating during each and every voyage. As such, their living quarters reflect the level of responsibility they carry. Their luxurious staterooms often feature a spacious bedroom and living area, easy access to the Bridge, panoramic views, and more. TikTok user Allie Rae shared a rare look at a captain’s cabin, posting a 30-second clip of her father’s living quarters aboard the Independence of the Seas. The video, which was shared on Wednesday, January 5, has already received over 190,000 views and 18,400 likes. Thoughtfully designed to balance comfort with functionality Rae opens up the door to reveal an expansive entryway before heading into the main living area. The elegant columns have been wrapped with tinsel for the holidays. The living room is anything but cramped, with a large entertainment center, flat-screen television, a couch, loveseat, recliner, and dining table. Tucked into the corner is a
