Another reason DHS shouldn’t be allowed to chase child predators — from the Tampa Tribune’s coverage of the Doyle kiddie sex bust:
The charges against Doyle are the second involving a Homeland Security official and alleged improper sexual conduct toward a minor in Central Florida in the past six months.In October, Tampa’s newly appointed Immigration and Customs Enforcement special agent in charge, Frank Figueroa, was arrested in an Orlando shopping mall, accused of exposing himself to a teenage girl.
Figueroa is scheduled to appear in court this morning to enter a guilty plea in that case.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement — ICE — is the branch of DHS that runs the agency’s anti-child-exploitation program, Operation Predator I mentioned below.
By the way, Doyle is said to have confessed to police. He’s charged with seven counts of use of a computer to seduce a child and 16 counts of transmission of harmful material to a minor.
