Anti-ICE protesters have descended on the Virginia mansion owned by the Hilton Hotels CEO, accusing the hospitality company of aiding the work of immigration agents by renting rooms to officials.
The franchise has faced mounting pressure from far-left activists to sever its ties to President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, with demonstrations storming outside hotels across the nation in recent weeks.
On Thursday, protesters took their movement to the $5.2 million mansion owned by the Hilton Hotels CEO Christopher Nassetta in Arlington, Virginia.
The group waved banners reading 'HILTON HOUSES ICE' while calling Nassetta out by name and blaring loud music, echoing tactics used at previous demos outside hotels owned by the chain.
Protesters have frequently targeted Hilton locations to rally against the housing of agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which last week led to police arresting more than 60 people at a hotel in New York City.
Chaotic scenes also unfolded at a Hilton hotel in Minneapolis following the shooting of protester Alex Pretti last month, where demonstrators smashed windows and spray-painted the building's facade.
Protesters have attempted to pressure the hotel chain to stop providing lodging to ICE agents, saying that it has been facilitating the aggressive immigration rollout.
Last month, Hilton Worldwide Holdings - the parent company controlling the chain's hotel locations - severed ties with a Minneapolis hotel because it refused to accept bookings for ICE agents.

Protesters on Thursday were seen outside Nassetta's home with banners reading 'HILTON HOUSES ICE' and calling the CEO out by name while blaring loud music in the street.
On Thursday, protesters took their movement to the $5.2 million mansion owned by Nassetta in Arlington, Virginia. Demonstrators have also been targeting Hilton hotels.
The hotel operator said that the Hampton Inn Hotel had lost its brand franchising because of the move, and said in a statement that it was standing with the Trump administration.
'We are taking immediate action to remove this hotel from our systems. Hilton is - and has always been - a welcoming place for all,' the company said.
Hilton said it was apologizing to the agents affected by the refusal, and insisted that its 'properties are open to everyone, and we do not tolerate any form of discrimination.'
The Daily Mail has contacted Hilton Hotels for comment following the protests at Nassetta's home.
In Virginia, anti-ICE protesters received a boost before their targeting of Nassetta's mansion as the newly-elected Democrat Governor Abigail Spanberger introduced a raft of new executive orders.
Most notably, Spanberger ended the state's agreements with the federal government that enabled local law enforcement to coordinate with ICE.
Spanberger has also said Virginia law enforcement will still cooperate with valid warrants from ICE, but police will no longer join street raids and will remain focused on enforcing Virginia state laws.
Tensions around Trump's immigration crackdown reached fever pitch in recent weeks following the shootings of two anti-ICE protesters, Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good, in Minneapolis.
Minnesota became a hotbed for clashes between immigration agents and protesters, and following Pretti's shooting demonstrators chose a Hilton Hotel to vent.
Footage of the protest at the hotel showed demonstrators smashing windows and chanting at staff, accusing them of housing ICE agents in rooms above.
Agitators were seen spray-painting the hotel's facade with 'ICE OUT OF MPLS', as others attempted to breach the front doors.
Trump responded to the widespread unrest by deploying his Border Czar Tom Homan to calm tensions in Minnesota this month.
In remarks this week, Homan took a swipe at Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem as he announced the Trump administration is pulling 700 federal agents out of Minnesota.

Homan conceded that Noem's immigration crackdown had not been a 'perfect operation' at a news conference, referencing the shootings that sparked outrage across the nation.
Homan thanked Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey as he announced a deal with the Democratic leaders to deport illegal immigrants from local jails, meaning fewer federal agents will be required on the streets to make arrests.
'Effective immediately, we will draw down 700 people, effective today, 700 law enforcement personnel,' Homan said.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, Vice President JD Vance denied the suggestion that this represented Trump backing down.
'We're not moving back on anything. We're just trying to actually encourage cooperation so that we get a little bit less chaos,' Vance told the Mail.
