Not Kosher: Former Head of Nation’s Largest Kosher Meat-Packing Plant Arrested on Immigration Charges

Sholom Rubashkin, 49, a powerful member of the Hasidic Jewish community and former head of the kosher plant Agriprocessors, is now in police custody after being arrested for harboring illegal immigrants and aiding and abetting aggravated identity theft. The Rubaskhin family has a long checkered history with the law.

Agriprocessors, the nation’s largest kosher meatpacking plant, is in Postville, Iowa. Rubashkin was arrested in Postville and faces three counts: conspiracy to harbor illegal aliens for profit; aiding and abetting document fraud; and aiding and abetting aggravated identity theft. That could bring ten years and fines of up to $250,000.

His family has often appeared on the criminal blogs in New York, click here.
It would seem a bit of a conflict to be a family that is known both for its deeply religious views and its rather long rap sheet.

  3. Hey Turley Toy: Can you give us a run down on the criminal penalties for Voter Fraud and for Campaign Finance Reform Fraud? I want to know how many years Obama is going to get for voter fraud and for taking tens of millions of dollars from foreigners over the internet using phony names a hundred times on one credit card and/or prepaid credit cards that can’t be traced.

    I am looking forward to 4 years of chasing the SOB obama into the ground on criminal charges.
