The Motel 6 hotel chain will pay $12 million to the state of Washington because several of its properties in the state reported to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that some guests could be in the United States illegally.
In 2013, the King County Washington City Council passed an ordinance that prohibits law enforcement from cooperating with ICE unless a warrant has been issued for an individual.
Washington state Office of the Attorney General announced the settlement on Thursday.
