    We can have hired clean up squads to control the animal population. Perhaps robots or drones to kill animals.

    We can poison animals if they get overcrowded.

    Motel 6 agrees to pay up to $7.6M to settle claims chain notified ICE about Hispanic patrons

    By Kathleen Joyce | Fox News
    Motel 6 has reportedly agreed to pay up to $7.6 million to settle a class-action lawsuit after the chain was accused of sharing Hispanic guests' personal information with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

    Earlier this year, the chain was sued by former guests who alleged Motel 6 gave their private information to ICE, the Washington Post reported. The lawsuit came after a report by the Phoenix News Times stating at least 20 arrests were made by ICE agents at two Phoenix Motel 6’s between February and August. The motels were located in regions with a high Hispanic population.

    As part of the agreement, the motel has agreed to pay up to $5.6 million to patrons who “were placed in immigration-removal proceedings” while paying up to $1 million to guests who were interrogated and up to an additional $1 million to patrons whose information was shared with authorities, court documents stated, according to the Washington Post. The motel will cover the former patrons’ legal fees.

    PHOENIX MOTEL 6 ACCUSED OF NOTIFYING ICE ABOUT UNDOCUMENTED PATRONS

    Motel 6 told Fox News that, “as part of the agreement, Motel 6 has implemented additional controls to protect private information and enhance corporate oversight in cases where law enforcement requests information, including when lawful requests are made."


    The court needs to approve the settlement.

    "Plaintiffs and Motel 6 have filed a proposed settlement agreement that would resolve the lawsuit between the two parties if it is approved by the district court. In September 2017, when this issue emerged, the company launched an investigation and issued a clear directive to all locations nationwide, emphasizing that the practice is prohibited. Motel 6 fully recognizes the seriousness of the situation and accepts full responsibility for both compensating those who were harmed and taking the necessary steps to ensure that we protect the privacy of our guests,” Motel 6 and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund said in a joint statement to Fox News.

    MOTEL 6 ENDS PHOENIX POLICY WORKING WITH ICE

    MALDEF represented the plaintiffs, who were eight people that were detained last year at two motels in the Phoenix area, in the lawsuit. MALDEF filed the lawsuit in January after it alleged the motel shared Latino guest’s private information including their passports to ICE agents with no warrants.

    “It’s very important in our minds that Motel 6 is putting in place policies and procedures that would prevent this from happening again,” Thomas Saenz, MALDEF’s president, told the Washington Post.

    I wonder what the animals did back before we invented guns to keep them safe.

    The mental health argument is interesting. Does seem to support why countries with socialized medicine have fewer mass shootings.

    The US has a culture of celebrating mental illness. Plus everyone is hopped up on crazy pills

    Look at the guys doing these mass shootings. Most of them are awkwardly social males (and thats putting it lightly). Many of them are probably undiagnosed with autism spectrum disorders.

    Okay, I'm with you. Seems like a failure of our national medical system. Time to try something different.

    Every mass shooter that had a mental illness was already known to authorities and health dept personnel for a long time, and in most cases ignored and not treated or helped in any way.

    It's a deliberate political non-action to leave them out there while inciting them through hysterical media campaigns financed by Michael Bloomberg and others until they kill people.

    It's deliberate, it's carefully planned, and nobody is addressing it or the Deep State criminals doing it.

    I have no problem with prayers. Effective or ineffective, they are heartfelt love for the innocent. The problem I have is those who think prayers are enough. Go ahead a pray, then throw your voice behind trying to fix the problems.

    And autism and aspergers victims rarely have any violent tendencies at all. I've never heard of anyone with it killing anyone.

    Most of these guys are schitzophrenic or bi-polar, and are made worse by the meds they are on and off over and over.

    Meanwhile, while the Fake News media gets everyone all in a dither over what is still a statistical anomaly in America...

    Chicago recorded more than 1,400 homicides and 6,200 shooting incidents in 2016 and 2017.

    Now that's what I call mass murder.

    exactly, evidenced by Trump still getting ~ 40% approval. that's 40% of this nation with mental illness. Sad.
