A group of approximately 35 demonstrators gathered outside Carnival Cruise Line’s terminal in Baltimore today following reports that four Filipino crew members were forcibly removed from Carnival Pride earlier this month.

According to accounts shared during the rally, the crew were taken from the ship by U.S. immigration authorities on September 7 and deported without legal representation or due process.

The specific agency involved was not initially confirmed, though both U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) were referenced.

Carnival Cruise Line acknowledged the incident but declined to provide further details. “This is a law enforcement matter of which we always cooperate, and we defer to the authorities for further comment,” a spokesperson from Carnival said.
