For the lazy:
Specifically, the State alleges that Motel 6 violated the CPA, RCW 19.86.020 and RCW 49.60.030(3), and the WLAD, RCW 49.60.030(1)(b) and RCW 49.60.215(1), by:
a. Disclosing private guest registry information to ICE agents, in violation of the public policy of the State of Washington, including the Washington State Constitution and Motel 6's own privacy policy;
b. Disclosing private guest registry information to ICE agents with the knowledge that ICE was requesting the guest registry information for the purpose of discovering and investigating guests on the basis of national origin, including guests with Latino-sounding names.
