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.

      They aren’t immigrants at all if they are the crew of a Bahamanian flagged vessel, as all Disney cruise ships are. They aren’t under the jurisdiction of ICE at all for the simple fact that they aren’t employed in America in the first place.

        Which means that the next container ships or tankers that wants to dock will have to have some worry in the back of their mind that they could be next.

      Or in the cases of Renee Goode and Alex Pretti, they’ll kill white people too. It’s all about who they consider opposition.
