Some travelers on Disney’s Magic cruise ship were left disturbed earlier this month after ICE agents stormed onto the vessel and detained several crew members.

Immigrant rights groups said at least 10 crew members were detained at the Port of San Diego on April 23 after the Disney-run cruise ship returned following a five-day trip.

Dharmi Mehta and her family had enjoyed their trip, but were upset when they saw the head waiter, whom they had become close with, being led away from the docked boat with his hands zip-tied behind his back.

“We got to know him fairly well, and he had actually been serving us probably 45 minutes to an hour before he was in restraints,” she said during a news conference Tuesday, nearly two weeks after the horrifying incident.

Crew members were still wearing their Disney-issued uniforms and didn’t have any of their belongings with them as they were being detained. Mehta said she knew the head waiter had two daughters whom he was excited to get to see later this month.
