A Bloomington Marriott employee was fired after allegedly posting the names, emails, photos, and hotel locations of ICE agents online, a move that followed a fatal encounter between an ICE officer and a woman who reportedly drove a vehicle toward him.
An employee at an independently-owned Marriott Hotel in Bloomington lost their job after authorities say they posted sensitive details about Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents on social media. Fox News’ Bill Melugin posted on social media that an employee leaked names, emails, and images of law enforcement officials on Reddit, and that the post included where the officers were staying. This kind of doxxing crosses a serious line and risks the safety of people doing dangerous jobs every day.
The doxxing came on the heels of a deadly incident in which an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Nicole Good, 37, after she allegedly drove a vehicle toward him on Wednesday. Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said that an anti-ICE rioter tried to ram the officer who shot her. In the chaos that followed, someone shared identifying information about officers online, which forced the hotel to act.
Videos and posts from Minneapolis show volatile scenes where demonstrators are confronting law enforcement and attempting to disrupt operations. Protesters are seen swinging at officers and trying to block vehicles from moving through crowded streets. When mobs turn on public servants, the consequences can be deadly and the rule of law suffers.
The hotel that fired the employee is independently owned, which means local management moved quickly to contain the situation and protect guests and staff. Hospitality properties have to treat the safety and privacy of all guests seriously, and revealing where officers are staying puts everyone at risk. Employers also need policies that clearly prohibit sharing private information that could incite violence.
Online mobs and activists who celebrate targeting officers put the country on edge and undermine public safety in predictable ways. Doxxing isn’t a protest tactic; it’s a weapon that endangers first responders and border agents who are often dealing with life-and-death situations. The response from the hotel was a reminder that businesses must enforce basic standards of conduct, even under political pressure.
Local leaders and law enforcement officials are now dealing with the fallout from both the shooting and the subsequent unrest, which has drawn national attention. Minneapolis streets have seen confrontations that require police to balance crowd control with the need to protect bystanders. When violence escalates, communities suffer and civic order frays.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey have publicly urged immigration enforcement to leave the state, a move that critics say rewards lawlessness and abandons the rule of law. Those calls raise real questions about public safety and who will enforce laws when politicians tell federal officers to stand down. Citizens and businesses in affected areas deserve clear leadership that prioritizes security, not encouragement to pull back enforcement.
This episode ties together a dangerous mix of online vigilantism, political pressure, and real-world violence. When private details about officers are posted for mobs to see, the results are predictable and hazardous. That is why employers, local officials, and the public must insist on accountability and protect those who put themselves between chaos and the rest of us.
