A Florida hotel owner reached an agreement with the DOJ, which accused the hotel of discrimination after it canceled a planned conference for an Arab American group.

The Florida hotel canceled a summit held by the Arab America Foundation almost a month after the Hamas attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.

Managers at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Orlando at SeaWorld claimed they were concerned about safety risks as they shut down the event, even though they had received no threats and had no evidence indicating the conference posed a safety risk,
