ICE would circle Latino-sounding names, leading ICE to question, arrest and even deport guests. <\/p>\n<p>Over 100,000 guests are entitled to receive restitution from the <span class=\"xn-money\">$12 million USD<\/span> settlement the <span class=\"xn-location\">Washington<\/span> Attorney General&#8217;s Office (AGO) negotiated with Motel 6 to resolve the lawsuit. In order to receive compensation, individuals must submit a claim, which does not require guests to disclose their immigration status, by <span class=\"xn-chron\">December 31, 2019<\/span>. <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"xn-person\">Centro de<\/span> los Derechos del Migrante, Inc. (CDM), a binational migrants&#8217; rights organization, is working with the <span class=\"xn-location\">Washington<\/span> Attorney General&#8217;s Office as one of the claims administrators in the case. The organization is encouraging individuals who may qualify to come forward. CDM was hired to conduct outreach in <span class=\"xn-location\">the United States<\/span> and in <span class=\"xn-location\">Mexico<\/span> and investigate claims of guests who may have suffered severe consequences and harms, including questioning, arrest or deportation, as a result of this breach. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Lives were permanently damaged, and families were torn apart. These egregious violations against equity, dignity and privacy have no place in our communities,&#8221; said Evy Pe\u00f1a, CDM&#8217;s Communications Director. &#8220;Our goal is to make sure that every guest whose rights were violated \u2014 regardless of immigration status or where they are \u2014 gets justice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The amount victims receive will vary depending on the extent of the harm that occurred as a result of having their private information shared with ICE. Even if Motel 6 only shared their name and private guest information, and no other harm occurred, victims may be eligible for recovery for that violation of their privacy. If additional harm occurred, including questioning, detention or deportation, victims may be eligible for additional recovery.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t think twice about it \u2014 submit your claims to demonstrate that this is wrong and we shall not tolerate this,&#8221; said Ram\u00f3n Flores, a claimant and Motel 6 guest who was deported after his data was given to ICE. &#8220;We&#8217;re all human beings; we are worth the same and deserve respect. The time has come: when justice comes, it comes. We must come together and become stronger as a community.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Motel 6 violated the privacy rights of tens of thousands of Washingtonians without their knowledge or consent, and paid <span class=\"xn-money\">$12 million<\/span> to avoid facing my legal team in trial,&#8221; said Attorney General <span class=\"xn-person\">Bob Ferguson<\/span>. &#8220;We want to ensure everyone whose privacy was violated by Motel 6&#8217;s unlawful conduct receives some restitution, which is why we&#8217;re encouraging eligible individuals to file claims.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As part of the settlement, Motel 6 will no longer hand over guest information without a warrant or other lawful basis and train their employees accordingly. The <span class=\"xn-location\">Washington<\/span> Attorney General&#8217;s Office will monitor Motel 6&#8217;s policies and training for the next three years.<\/p>\n<p><b>Motel 6 guests who believe they may be victims are encouraged to visit <\/b><u><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2564368-1&amp;h=1693151355&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonmotel6settlement.com%2F&amp;a=www.WashingtonMotel6Settlement.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.WashingtonMotel6Settlement.com<\/a><\/u> or call 1-877-307-7268 in the US, 01-800-681-6519 from <span class=\"xn-location\">Mexico<\/span> or WhatsApp +1 414-708-0437.<\/p>\n<p>There are seven Motel 6 locations in <span class=\"xn-location\">Washington State<\/span> where the privacy violations are alleged to have occurred.<\/p>\n<p>Motel 6 Everett North<br \/>10006 Evergreen Way<br \/><span class=\"xn-location\">Everett, WA<\/span> 98204<\/p>\n<p>Motel 6 Everett South<br \/>224 128th Street SW<br \/><span class=\"xn-location\">Everett, WA<\/span> 98204<\/p>\n<p>Motel 6 Seattle South<br \/>20651 Military Road S.<br \/><span class=\"xn-location\">Seattle, WA<\/span> 98198<\/p>\n<p>Motel 6 Seattle Airport<br \/>16500 Pacific Highway S.<br \/><span class=\"xn-location\">Seattle, WA<\/span> 98188<\/p>\n<p>Motel 6 Seattle Sea-Tac Airport South<br \/>18900 47th Avenue S.<br \/><span class=\"xn-location\">Seattle, WA<\/span> 98188<\/p>\n<p>Motel 6 Tacoma South<br \/>1811 S. 76th Street<br \/><span class=\"xn-location\">Tacoma, WA<\/span> 98408<\/p>\n<p>(Guests who stayed between <span class=\"xn-chron\">January 29, 2017<\/span> to <span class=\"xn-chron\">March 11, 2017<\/span> only)<br \/>Motel 6 Bellingham<br \/>3701 Byron Avenue<br \/><span class=\"xn-location\">Bellingham, WA<\/span> 98225<\/p>\n<p>Contact name: Evy Pe\u00f1a<\/p>\n<p>Phone:\u00a0(+52) 55.5211.9397<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>SOURCE  <span class=\"xn-person\">Centro de<\/span> los Derechos del Migrante, Inc.
