The top Immigration and Customs Enforcement official in South Florida is suspected of possessing the same thing he has aggressively crusaded against, according to the Miami Herald. Federal agents raided the home and office of Anthony Mangione over the weekend to search for child pornography on his computers, law enforcement sources told the newspaper.

Mangione could not be reached for comment, and there are no court records indicating he has yet been charged with a crime. His name has often appeared on ICE press releases publicizing the agency's efforts to combat child pornography. "Too many children are victimized by predators that target the most vulnerable among us—our children," he said in a 2009 press release. (More Anthony Mangione stories.)
