Government dismisses charges against Rubashkin
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) _ Prosecutors have dismissed all 72 immigration charges against a former Iowa kosher slaughterhouse manager. The move came after Sholom Rubashkin's conviction last week in federal court on financial fraud charges. Prosecutors filed the motion Thursday morning, one day after a bail hearing for Rubashkin, the former manager of Agriprocessors, Inc. Rubashkin was scheduled to go on trial for the immigration charges on Dec. 2 in Sioux Falls, S.D. The Agriprocessors plant was the site of a massive immigration raid in May 2008.
