Overview

  • The 20-year-old valet employed by contractor Towne Park was terminated after declining to delete the video, which the company said violated its conduct and social media policy.
  • Hilton said it respects guest privacy and that its hotels aim to be welcoming places for all, noting the matter was handled with the third-party parking firm.
  • The TikTok has surpassed 2.5 million views, drawing praise from critics of ICE and accusations from others that she doxxed agents, and she reported receiving online threats.
  • Gia said she intended to warn local families to take precautions, and she has participated in downtown Dallas protests following her dismissal.
  • Law-enforcement supporters and ICE said online posts will not deter operations, with recent agent-involved shootings and a Minnesota franchise dispute over housing ICE framing the broader context.
