The Judicial Persecution of Rubashkin
Ben Shapiro, a columnist for Breitbart.com, one of America’s top news sites, explains why the Supreme Court must accept the Sholom Rubashkin case to fix the blatant injustice that took place.
In 2008, a kosher Iowa processing plant, Agriprocessors, owned by Rubashkin, found out that it was to be raided by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) over its hiring practices. Agriprocessors quickly contacted ICE and tried to work out a cooperative arrangement to move into compliance with employment law. Instead, on May 12, 2008, ICE raided the factory with 600 agents clad in riot gear, plus a Blackhawk helicopter. In October 2008, Rubashkin was arrested for hiring illegals.
