	== Overview ==		== Overview ==
			Residence Inn (marketed as “Residence Inn by Marriott”) is an extended-stay hotel brand operated under Marriott International’s portfolio.<ref name="ResidenceInnWiki">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residence_Inn_by_Marriott Residence Inn by Marriott \| Wikipedia]</ref> Marriott’s corporate history materials describe Residence Inn as originally founded in Kansas in 1975 and later acquired by Marriott in 1987.<ref name="MarriottHistory">[https://www.marriott.com/about/culture-and-values/history.mi Our Story of Innovation (1987: Marriott acquires Residence Inn) \| Marriott]</ref>

	== Boycott ==		== Boycott ==
			Residence Inn is listed for boycott due to documented and reported connections to U.S. immigration enforcement activity.

			Public reporting in 2025 documents DHS activity at a Residence Inn by Marriott property in the Chicago suburbs, including a DHS vehicle spotted at the hotel and a DHS Federal Protective Service officer leaving the property (with activists describing the activity as potentially connected to ICE operations).<ref name="WBEZ2025">[https://www.wbez.org/immigration/2025/09/29/standing-up-to-ice-in-suburban-chicago-the-peoples-patrol-puts-its-faith-in-resistance Standing up to ICE in Chicago's suburbs, the People’s Patrol puts its faith in resistance \| WBEZ] (Sep. 29, 2025)</ref>

			Additional reporting from Southern California describes organizing and protests aimed at preventing ICE agents from staying at a Residence Inn following enforcement activity in the area.<ref name="Truthout2025">[https://truthout.org/articles/in-southern-california-small-groups-of-activists-quietly-undermine-ice-operations/ In Southern California, Small Groups of Activists Quietly Undermine ICE Operations \| Truthout] (Sep. 1, 2025)</ref>

			Residence Inn is also part of Marriott’s hotel portfolio. Reporting in 2025 documented ICE using a Marriott-branded hotel (Sheraton) to hold people prior to deportation, despite Marriott’s earlier public position that its hotels were not to be used as immigration detention facilities.<ref name="GuardianAug19_2025">[https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/aug/19/ice-marriott-hotel-detentions Ice used Marriott chain to detain immigrants, despite hotel’s 2019 pledge not to cooperate \| The Guardian] (Aug. 19, 2025)</ref><ref name="GuardianAug21_2025">[https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/aug/21/marriott-ice-detainees-louisiana Marriott does not deny a hotel in its portfolio was used to detain families for Ice \| The Guardian] (Aug. 21, 2025)</ref>

	== Background ==		== Background ==
			Hotel chains have periodically been pressured by labor unions, advocates, and the public to refuse cooperation with ICE in using hotels as temporary detention sites or support infrastructure. In 2019, Marriott publicly stated it would decline requests to use its properties as detention facilities in the context of anticipated ICE raids and detention-capacity constraints.<ref name="ABC2019">[https://abcnews.go.com/Business/marriott-choice-hotels-serve-detention-centers-ice-raids/story?id=64291249 Marriott, Choice hotels say they would not serve as detention centers after ICE raids \| ABC News] (Jul. 12, 2019)</ref> UNITE HERE publicly supported hotel-company refusals to allow ICE use of hotels as “temporary jails” during the same period.<ref name="UNITEHERE2019">[https://unitehere.org/press-releases/unite-here-applauds-marriott-hilton-hyatt-and-choice-hotels-refusal-to-allow-ice-to-use-their-hotels-as-temporary-jails/ UNITE HERE applauds Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt and Choice Hotels refusal to allow ICE to use hotels as temporary jails \| UNITE HERE] (Jul. 14, 2019)</ref>

			Because lodging infrastructure can materially support enforcement operations (including staging, travel, and holding/transfer activity), ICE List documents and, where applicable, boycotts brands whose properties are reported to be used in connection with ICE and DHS enforcement activity.<ref name="WBEZ2025" /><ref name="Truthout2025" /><ref name="GuardianAug19_2025" />
