ICE Guidelines
Our national partner, AHLA, has provided the information below and the attached document for employers to prepare for potential ICE raids.
- ICE regularly conducts immigration-related raids in cities and has done so in previous Administrations (Obama, Trump, and Biden).
- According to Administration officials, undocumented immigrants with violent criminal histories will be the focus of these raids.
- The hotel industry could be impacted in the following ways:
Raids at workplaces
ICE agents staying in hotels
Hotels being approached to contract as detention facilities
- Please review the attached document, 5 Steps for Employers to Prepare for Anticipated Raids and Deportationsprepared by Fisher Philips.

New Programs from CNM
Thank you for being a valued GAHLA hotel partner to the Tram and the greater Albuquerque area, we would like to invite your team to join our new and exclusive hotel concierge program.
How to participate:
Book a behind the scenes, complimentary VIP tour and Tram ride for your staff with me at jfox@sandiapeak.com.
Plan 1-2 hours for the total visit.
Submit a list of all participating attendees including First & Last Name, Department and contact info.
This program has been designed to share behind the scenes information of the Tram along with the natural beauty of the Sandia Peak Mountains and the city of Albuquerque from above. We recognize our hoteliers as some of the best front-line, Albuquerque experts around and we want to share the Sandia Peak Experience with them.
Due to the high volume of hotels and staffing around ABQ, we are limited to 7-10 complimentary staff, per hotel property, per year depending on the size of your hotel. The main focus for this program, will be frontline staff (front desk, concierge, groups/sales manager).
