10 years ago at Trump 1.0 protests was the first time I saw the "Abolish ICE" slogan on signs. I didn't understand, so I read an immigration attorney's blog and the subject and thought, "Oh, okay, that makes sense. Abolish ICE." And I was not what you'd call a leftist, just vehemently anti-Trump in general. But yes, it definitely wasn't a mainstream opinion back then.

It sure is now! Besides this, at protests we get all kinds of education about pre-existing problems with ICE.

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.
