Somebody really hates this Guzman guy. Because he's Latino? Only like every other person in LA is Latino, so that must be it.
Or could it be because he was the lead dog in prosecuting online perverts and internet pornographers????

Assistant U.S. Atty. Anne Gannon in Santa Ana said evidence gathered by the forensics team was so damning that few cases went to trial. Every one of the 20 child exploitation cases she has prosecuted has resulted in guilty pleas, she said.
"Their use of technology and cooperation with local law enforcement agencies has been hugely successful in identifying and jailing persons who are the greatest threat of exploiting children," Gannon said. ...
