Over 100 Filipino cruise crew members were detained and deported by U.S. CBP since Sept. 7, 2025, on unproven child porn allegations, without legal access or due process.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has detained and deported over 100 Filipino cruise ship crew members since September 7, 2025, citing unproven allegations of child pornography possession.
Most were denied legal counsel, evidence review, or the chance to confront accusers, despite holding valid C1/D visas.
The detentions, including recent actions on ships like the Victory I and Viking Octantis, have raised concerns over due process and potential immigration enforcement overreach.
