“Twenty-seven cruise ship workers, including some from the Disney Cruise Line, were deported after having engaged with child pornography, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said.”

“CBP officers boarded eight cruise ships between April 23 and 27 as part of an ongoing child sexual exploitation material investigation”

“the agency determined 27 of the 28 crew members interviewed “were involved in either the receipt, possession, transportation, distribution, or viewing of CSEM or child pornography,” and that their visas were canceled and they were deported to their home countries.”

“Twenty-six of the crew members interviewed were from the Philippines, one was from Portugal and another was from Indonesia”

“A Holland America spokesperson confirmed in a statement that some of its crew members were involved.”

“at least one of the CBP enforcement actions last month happened on board the Disney cruise ship Magic as it was docked at B-Street Pier on the San Diego Bay harbor.”

“The Port of San Diego’s Harbor Police said the agency was not involved in the operation because it is prohibited by state law from participating in immigration enforcement and because the terminal is a federal port of entry under CBP’s jurisdiction.”
