U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) hates being the immigration police. They want to be the Sex Police, concentrating on busting strippers and child molesters. This has the current approval of the Deep State. For this I call ICE HSI by the derogatory acronym of ICE Special Victims Unit (SVU), because ICE SVU does not want to do immigration law enforcement. Consequently ICE SVU has adopted child porn as one of the few acceptable, to themselves, crimes that they will investigate.
And despite the fact that there are 22 million illegal aliens in the country and the President wants more immigration raids, ICE SVU is still playing Robocop with child molesters. While a crime, this is mainly the responsibility of local law enforcement agencies and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
ICE SVU sometimes justifies their involvement in child porn because some of it is imported, but there is no Federal criminal offense of importing child porn, only a general charge of possession or distribution, so it can be prosecuted even if there is no customs or immigration nexus. And so we have it again.
Jong Woo Son, 23, a South Korean national, was indicted by a federal grand jury in the District of Columbia for his operation of Welcome To Video, the largest child sexual exploitation market by volume of content. The nine-count indictment was unsealed today along with a parallel civil forfeiture action. Son has also been charged and convicted in South Korea and is currently in custody serving his sentence in South Korea. An additional 337 site users residing in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington State and Washington, D.C. as well as the United Kingdom, South Korea, Germany, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, the Czech Republic, Canada, Ireland, Spain, Brazil and Australia have been arrested and charged.
Assistant Attorney General Brian A. Benczkowski of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, U.S. Attorney Jessie K. Liu for the District of Columbia, Chief Don Fort of IRS Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) and Acting Executive Associate Director Alysa Erichs of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), made the announcement.

There we have it, ICE SVU is so proud of their accomplishment in ignoring 22 million illegal aliens to concentrate on indicting an alien outside the United States who has already been convicted of the crime he’s being indicted for and will be serving a sentence for outside the United States. It is unlikely that for all the millions of dollars spent on this investigation that Son will ever see the inside of an American court room; he’ll be spending many years in a Korean prison. So, mission accomplished ICE SVU, you got nothing.
Well except for a bunch of Americans charged with child porn possession. It appears the porn was in part produced overseas, but the actual child molester creating the porn was in the UK, and arrested and charged there.
Kyle Fox, 26, of the United Kingdom, pleaded guilty to 22 counts including rape, sexual assault, and sharing indecent images, and was sentenced to serve 22 years in prison;
So, despite the claim that ICE SVU was rescuing children, they really didn’t, Scotland Yard did.
And, more importantly, some of the cases were prosecuted locally, as is appropriate, as an agency charged with immigration enforcement should be investigating and arresting illegal aliens, not sad sacks consuming child porn.
Alex Daniel Paxton, 30, of Columbus, Ohio, was arrested and indicted in Franklin County Ohio Court of Common Pleas for pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor;
Nikolas Bennion Bradshaw, 24, of Bountiful, Utah, was arrested in the State of Utah, and charged with five counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, and was sentenced to time served with 91 days in jail followed by probation;
While ICE SVU was wasting millions on a fancy international investigation, illegal aliens from Honduras have overrun San Francisco’s Tenderloin District and created an open air drug market that ICE SVU’s customs pukes are ignoring.
A drug pipeline into San Francisco’s crime-ridden Tenderloin District, fueled by Honduran nationals who lived in the East Bay, has been busted up by federal agents who have arrested 32 suspects, authorities announced Wednesday.
Chris Nielsen, special agent in charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration in San Francisco, told reporters that an investigation was launched in late 2017 in cooperation with San Francisco and Richmond police and uncovered two independent drug operations stretching from Mexico to Seattle…
Of the drugs coming in from Mexico, Nielsen said, “It’s not clear yet which cartel is involved down there in Culiacan, Mexico, but drugs would come into Southern California, Los Angeles into the Bay Area–they would either go to the Tenderloin or sometimes the drugs would go up to the Pacific Northwest.”
In the Bay Area, the mostly Honduran nationals lived in the East Bay and commuted daily into San Francisco’s Tenderloin District to sell drugs.

Note what is missing from this story about the Feds, ICE SVU and Deep State operatives Tatum King and Ryan Spradlin. This Honduran drug invasion has happened on King and Spradlin’s watch. They are doing nothing. Which is interesting, for both are legacy Customs pukes who one would think would be interested in drug cases, which was a special interest of the former U.S. Customs Service (USCS). USCS always had a conflict with the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) as they both wanted drug cases, as did, at one time, ICE SVU. But these Customs pukes decided to avoid doing a flagrant and dangerous drug case because they wanted to protect illegal aliens from arrest.
Time to end ICE SVU and get ICE back in the immigration enforcement business. Perhaps Ken Cuccinelli can do it.
