U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have seized more than 50 counterfeit Super Bowl tickets destined for New Orleans.
ICE officials say the fake tickets were seized Friday during a traffic stop. ICE declined to say where the traffic stop was.

ICE Director John Morton cautioned people this week to only purchase tickets from NFL-authorized sources.
Morton says ICE will aggressively investigate and prosecute counterfeit merchandise cases.
