Did Jewish Owners Get Soft Treatment from ICE?
by Ian Mosley
Remember that big kosher meat packing plant in Postville, Iowa, run by Hasidic Jews from New York. The one that was busted a couple of months ago for working hundreds of illegal aliens. Well, guess who gets to take the fall? Will it be the Jewish owners or some low-level Gentile scapegoats?
The New York Times reports: “Two supervisors at a kosher meatpacking plant in Iowa where hundreds of illegal immigrants were rounded up in May were arrested Thursday on criminal immigration charges. Federal prosecutors said they had also issued an arrest warrant for a third man described by workers as a plant manager… The supervisors, Juan Carlos Guerrero Espinoza and Martin De la Rosa Loera, were arrested at the Agriprocessors plant in Postville, prosecutors said. They were the first employees who were not rank-and-file workers to be arrested since 389 illegal immigrants were rounded up at the plant on May 12, said Bob Teig, a spokesman for the United States attorney for the Northern District of Iowa. Federal authorities called the raid the largest enforcement operation by immigration authorities at a single workplace. Unions and immigrant advocacy groups had criticized immigration officials for focusing arrests on workers while taking no action against top managers.”
The top managers were Hasidic Jews from New York. Hmmm…could there possibly be a connection between that fact and their immunity from prosecution? (more…)
