A California city has ordered the shutdown of a motel that caters to pregnant Chinese women who travel to the United States to deliver their babies.

The Orange County Register reports Thursday that council members in the city of Orange revoked the JR Motel’s conditional use permit.

Officials said the motel doesn’t take reservations from the public and has violated building and safety codes.

An attorney for the motel says the owner plans to sell it.
