KNSD reported Wednesday that a Disney cruise docked in San Diego after a trip with stops in Ensenada, Baja California, as well as Catalina Island, where federal agents took several employees into custody.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Sandra Grisolia released a statement about the raid:
“On April 28, HSI San Diego arrested twenty-three crewmembers from multiple cruise ships at the Port of San Diego as part of Operation Tidal Wave. The arrests targeted individuals suspected of involvement with Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), based on information received from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.”

The New York Post clarified that it’s unclear which other ships from companies outside of Disney may have been involved.

Per the New York Post, U.S. Customs and Border Protection stated of those individuals, “Officers confirmed all subjects were involved in either the receipt, possession, transportation, distribution, or viewing of CSEM or child pornography.”
CSEM stands for “child sexual exploitation material.”
Disney needs to do a lot more vetting when hiring their crew members. Parents are likely mortified to know these monsters were lurking around their children.
On one hand, there is some hostility wrt Disney among conservatives, but Disney cruises do feature play areas and children's activities for families with children. While every cruise company should have vetted their employees better, IMO, Disney should have been very careful of pedophiles trying to infiltrate their crews (just as pedos sought to and did infiltrate churches' children's ministries).
