@inthehandsPaul Cantrell Oh, that makes sense. I figured it was because they were worried that their employees would wind up deported and they'd have trouble getting new ones, and was surprised that a large corporation would have that much foresight

This is also true. ICE has to book under false pretenses for exactly that reason. Most hotels don't want them, at the very least for practical reasons. They absolutely do abduct hotel staff.
With that said, Marriott has a history of collaborating with ICE. There's this article for an example, plus when I see activists banging pots outside a hotel where ICE is staying, more often than not it's a Marriott brand.
