The first
stage of the Agriprocessors’ trial is complete.
In 2008, the kosher meat packing plant in Postville was
raided by ICE for
its employment violations. Specifically, Agriprocessors
hired hundreds of illegal aliens.
Last week, a jury in Sioux Falls, South Dakota found
former Agriprocessors Inc. vice president
Sholom Rubashkin
guilty on 86 (of 91) felony fraud counts related to
falsified sales records as well as bank, wire and mail
fraud. [Guilty
Verdict in Agriprocessors Case,

In December, immigration
charges will be addressed.
Former Agriprocessors’ supervisor Carlos
Guerrero-Espinoza has already testified that the plant
scrambled to get workers new identification documents
the night before a
massive immigration raid.
Guerrero-Espinoza said that managers provided new but
fraudulent permanent resident cards to 20 employees the
night
before the May 2008 raid
in which nearly 400 workers were arrested.
According to Guerrero-Espinoza, the cards were
manufactured in Minneapolis in anticipation of the raid
which occurred a week later. [Supervisor:
