The Disney Magic is Bahama flagged. This is not US territory and ICE has no right to be on it what sort ever.

Hahaha, look at that guy thinking the law has any meaning in the US of A.
You think the average middle school dropout ICE agent knows that?
Nazis do what Nazis do
When a ship docks in a foreign country, the vessel and everyone on it enter that nation's "internal waters". Because of this, the crew is physically located on that country's soil (or, more accurately, its territorial jurisdiction), meaning local laws apply to them.
Not that I really expect Disney to ever do the right thing as such, but I can dream about Disney lawyers going all...

...in court for ICE fucking around with their "WOW" customer service ethos and therefore their bottom line.
edit Am I on drugs or did the article get updated? The section about charges is completely gone so maybe the below statement isn't true.
Look I'm as anti-ICE as the rest of you, but did anyone read the charges? OP conveniently left out of their summary that these workers were arrested and deported as part of a child sexual exploitation material bust.
I see where you are coming from and I'd agree if that's the case, but it's also the case that I don't trust ICE.
For fucking real. “ICE says”, “The FBI states”, “President Trump screams” and so many other ways to preface absolute bullshit just leads to me ignoring it.
Im sure they were all "aunt tifa" too
Right, ICE also claims all the people they arrest are rapists and murderers. So yeah, they broke that trust and all I'm thinking is they made up more bogus charges.
Look I'm as anti-ICE as the rest of you,...
Obviously not cause you believe what they say. When they'll say anything to get what they want. Why did ICE do this? Why not the FBI? Why ICE? Is it because ICE is better equipped to handle this situation? Perhaps it is because ICE will accept any order given without question or concern for an individual's rights?
I'd put my wager on the later.
It looks like the article was updated so I have no clue where the statement came from anymore.
Also, it's "The Independent". I hate their clickbait nonsense and I refuse to actually click on any of their articles for the last ten years. This is like the left wing version of Daily Heil in terms of bad journalism.
Wait, these crew members were on a ship, not on US soil. US Customs and Immigration is on land which you have to pass through to get to the USA. ICE actually dragged them onto US soil just so they could say they were there illegally? WTF?!
ICE actually dragged them onto US soil just so they could say they were there illegally?
Oh you sweet summer child: ICE has already executed American citizens in broad daylight (on camera) for exercising their constitutional rights. Why would laws matter now?
Technically you need permission to dock. It means that the entire crew manifest was known to the government prior to arrival and they were given permission to dock. Then they were arrested. If there was a problem with them being in the US they should never have been given permission.
Applying logic here won't work.
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.
This hurts the Disney image and the margins on their cruises, so they might.
If ICE shows they'll storm a foreign flagged cruise ship to abduct crew members, why would any passenger think they wouldn't also try to grab them, too?
Wearing an embroidered polo doesn't change your rights.
not their actual workers.
Are they even their "actual workers" or are they contractors?
(Read the tone as snark towards Disney for over using contractors and refusing to hire people, not at who I am replying to.)
Even if the workers aren't eligible to enter the US, it should only be an issue if they disembark
OMG we are going to be so fucked when the supply chains start to break down. Who the fuck is going to bring goods to America if there is a chance your going to get arrested for doing business with them?
This is so comically stupid, that it kind of takes the wind out of how bad this is.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
ABC is owned by Disney. Jimmy Kimmel works for ABC. Trump is getting revenge
I wonder how the Mickey takes his whiskey? Neat?
When corporations start bleeding profits bc of the terrible tangerine pedo, maybe they’ll start caring

Brown people? Not on my watch -ICE
They actually love brown people. They want their cheap labor and this stuff keeps people afraid and makes them keep their head down. It has the added benefit that they get to parade it around to their electorate like 'something is being done'
It's theater to keep poor white people in fly over states from realizing that the people in power are the ones selling them out and have been the entire time.
as they employ BROWN people to attack other brown people.
