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.

I’m confused, cruise ships usually have all their work permits and stuff handled ahead of time for the crew. How can you be an illegal immigrant if you’re just working on a boat for a day and not staying here?

Legality has nothing to do with it. It is super simple.

ABC didn't fire Jimmy Kimmel.The people on that ship are paying a high cost for that defiance. They are merely externalities for Disney's punishment. I suppose terrifying people is a nice side effect for those in charge. But retribution is the motivation.

Simple as that.

Because ICE don't give a fuck about facts. They have been arresting, incarcerating and murdering legal American citizens too. They have Trump and Vance's backing.

and MSM have basically stopped reporting it, likely to change the narrative when fox and grifter news decide to report on it, its just sound bytes for fox for years. "california,NYC is a hellhole, allowing illegal immigrants"-right wing news, and right wing youtubers.

Like Wilson Fisk and the police except way more Beavis and Butthead without the good parts.

Must be a trip working for that show, writing this comic-book level evil bad guy...then by the time it gets released, reality is just as bad, only less competent.

[–] irish_link@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

I don’t think I have heard or read a more accurate analogy.

[–] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 17 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

ABC is owned by Disney. Jimmy Kimmel works for ABC. Trump is getting revenge

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Disney donates heavily to the gop to give them favors.

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago

Yes revenge and maybe also mob tactics to strong arm compliance to fire Kimmel.

As far as I know almost no cruise ships are actually American flagged vessels and therefore are perfectly able to directly employ foreign nationals without citizenship or US work authorization. They aren't even under the jurisdiction of ICE.

Disney ships are all Bahamanian flagged ships and have absolutely no obligation to employ American citizens.

[–] ParlimentOfDoom@piefed.zip 17 points 10 hours ago

ICE had been abducting legal residents from the beginning. They camp out in front of immigration court houses... The last place you'd find an undocumented person.

I used to work on cruise ships and all non-US crew are given an I-95 permit to go ashore in the US by CBP when they go through immigration before the 1st US port (officials usually come onboard before the ship gets to the US). I wonder if these crew members couldn't get one (for whatever reason)? Usually, if that happens, CBP just make them stay onboard in US ports, but the US is doing things a bit differently these days.

Your mistake here was thinking they give a fuck about the law or proper procedure at all

[–] VeryInterestingTable@jlai.lu 18 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Probably because ICE doesn't arrest illigal immigrants. They adbuct political dissidents.

[–] cecilkorik@piefed.ca 5 points 7 hours ago

They also abduct people who are the wrong color, are in the wrong place at the wrong time, and anyone else they feel like, it's not like they need to explain themselves at any point in the process.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 6 hours ago

they also look for victms, for pedophelia, or to rape women. they move most pregnant detainees they raped to a undisclosed texas location.

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 8 points 11 hours ago

Because they want numbers not rights. The new leader of the agency said they would deport more people than any other period. (Trump hasn't even reached half of Obama peak deportation numbers.) when you try to deport every immigrant it slows the deportation of the violent ones.
