Passengers on board the Disney Cruise Ship Magic say they witnessed ICE Officers escorting several crew members off the vessel in restraints April 23rd.
Just two days later, workers on a Holland America ship were also taken into custody.
The B Street Cruise Terminal is a federal port of entry, enforced by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The Port of San Diego says according to California law, Harbor Police does not participate in immigration enforcement activities.
Now local immigration rights groups are calling for transparency from federal agents and for cruise lines to better protect employees.
