Cruise Ship Nightmare! Mother Watched Her Server Get Handcuffed In Front Of Children — What CBP Found on 8 Cruise Ships

from Hidden Killers Live! Daily True Crime News & Breakdowns · host Hidden Killers Podcast

Twenty-seven cruise ship crew members detained across eight ships in San Diego. According to CBP, all allegedly involved in exploitation material. Not one criminal charge filed. All deported within two weeks. That is the outcome of Operation Tidal Wave — and it raises questions every family deserves answers to. The operation was triggered by intelligence from NCMEC. Agents boarded with names. Ten reportedly worked on the Disney Magic. A passenger named Dharmi Mehta filmed the arrests after watching her family’s server get led away in handcuffs while still in uniform. For nearly two weeks, the public believed it was immigration enforcement. When CBP and HSI confirmed the actual nature of the operation, the scope became clear. Disney issued a zero-tolerance statement. KPBS confirmed no charges in two federal districts. Maritime experts call this unusual for this offense category. Cruise Law News reports nearly 200 crew accused of possessing CSAM in approximately two years. Deportation without prosecution creates no deterrent, no public record, and no accountability.
