Crew members were still wearing their Disney uniforms when they were escorted away from the boat with their hands zip-tied behind their backs, reports say
Some travelers on Disney’s Magic cruise ship were left disturbed earlier this month after ICE agents stormed onto the vessel and detained several crew members.
Immigrant rights groups said at least 10 crew members were detained at the Port of San Diego on April 23 after the Disney-run cruise ship returned following a five-day trip.
Dharmi Mehta and her family had enjoyed their trip, but were upset when they saw the head waiter, whom they had become close with, being led away from the docked boat with his hands zip-tied behind his back.
Apparently DCL registers its ships in the Bahamas. I don’t know if ICE/CBP have jurisdiction on foreign ships without a bunch of warrants.
I know Disney’s lawyers are well funded and ruthless, but does anyone think they’ll go into bat for these people? They only seem to care about copyright infringement, not their actual workers.
If it becomes a big enough embarrassment they’ll respond.
