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.

    “After boarding the vessel and interviewing 26 suspected crew members from the Philippines, one suspected crew member from Portugal, and one from Indonesia, officers confirmed that 27 of the 28 subjects were involved in either the receipt, possession, transportation, distribution, or viewing of CSEM or child pornography,” the agency told The Independent in a statement.

    Yeah, I don’t believe you. Just 30 or so immigrant crew members, all aboard the same boat, all sharing child porn. I dunno. Anything ICE does is probably either trying to muddy the waters around trump raping, murdering, and cannibalizing children, or in grabbing new people for trump to rape, murder, and eat. Kinda hard to take anything seriously from an administration devoted to protecting pedophile monsters.

    Replace “ICE agents” with “Gestapo” and “immigrants” with “Jews” and you get an idea of how this will be written down in history.

    Right. Ice has been having such rousing success lately that they needed to go arrest and deport, with no due process, a bunch of people that will never see trial or prison for the crimes that they were arrested for, in particular a crime that in statesia they would howl to see the perpetrators meted out some draconian punishment.

    Why is it that I have severe doubts as to whether the crimes even occurred? It’s probably because it’s Krasnov. Nothing about this smells right.

    I’m sure the Big Mouse is completely uncapable of sympathy for it’s employees, and I’m sure it’d try to adapt to this, but what I’m interested in - would there be just any word about Disney being a co-party in trafficing so-called illegals, since it’s their ship? Would ICE or DOJ directly attack Disney the company on that ground? Before that point, I can’t see Mickey corps fighting back.
