A federal jury has convicted the former manager of a kosher slaughterhouse in Postville, Iowa, where nearly 400 immigrant workers were arrested in the largest immigration raid in US history. Sholom Rubashkin was convicted on eighty-six counts of financial fraud. He faces a sentence of hundreds of years in prison and a second trial on immigration charges. The slaughterhouse owned by Agriprocessors has since closed down, taking with it hundreds of jobs.
