## Resource

A massive federal operation has sent shockwaves through the travel industry. In this episode, we break down the breaking news surrounding U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) boarding eight different cruise ships at the Port of San Diego, resulting in the detention and visa revocation of 27 international crew members—including staffers from Disney Cruise Line . We separate fact from internet rumor as we look into the official statements from federal authorities regarding the possession and distribution of child sexual abuse material (CSAM). We also dive into Disney’s immediate response, their zero-tolerance policy, and what this ongoing investigation means for passenger safety and crew monitoring moving forward. In this episode, we cover: The details of the CBP cruise ship sting operation in San Diego. How many ships were involved and the official charges against the crew members. Disney Cruise Line's official statement and immediate termination of the involved workers. Fact-checking the social media rumors vs. the official federal reports.
