U.S. immigration authorities revoke visas of 27 people connected to a child sexual abuse images case, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The action follows a multi-ship operation in which U.S. authorities boarded eight cruise ships in late April to identify individuals allegedly involved with child sexual abuse material. CBP says the investigation targets people who are accused of “the receipt, possession, transportation, distribution, or viewing” of child sexual abuse images. The reported group is mostly from the Philippines. Several of those whose visas are revoked are described in reporting as having worked on cruise ships associated with Disney Cruise Line, though the underlying allegations concern possession or viewing of child sexual abuse images rather than specific ship operations. The sources describe the visa cancellations as part of the government’s immigration enforcement response to the probe. The reported figure is 27 people, and the number of people impacted is described as “more than two dozen,” with CBP providing the detailed count and the categories of alleged conduct. The reports do not indicate the status of any criminal charges or individual outcomes beyond the visa revocations.
