Sholom Rubashkin will spend this weekend in the Woodbury County Jail in Sioux City until federal agents move him back to eastern Iowa for more court hearings, a U.S. Marshals Service spokesman said Friday.
The former vice president at Agriprocessors Inc., the northeast Iowa slaughterhouse, was moved to the jail one day after his conviction on 86 felony business fraud charges. Rubashkin was taken into custody immediately after his conviction and sent overnight to the South Dakota State Penitentiary, a state prison in Sioux Falls.
Bill Kiesau, a supervisory deputy with the U.S. marshals, said agents will return Rubashkin to the Cedar Rapids area – he did not know which jail – for a bail hearing Wednesday in U.S. District Court.
A South Dakota jury convicted Rubashkin on Thursday on all but five of the 91 federal charges, after more than two days of deliberation. The maximum sentence for his combined convictions adds up to 1,255 years.
U.S. District Chief Judge Linda Reade denied a request by defense lawyers to continue Rubashkin’s release on bond, pending a second trial on 72 immigration-related charges.
Defense lawyers Guy Cook and F. Montgomery Brown insisted in court papers filed late Thursday that their client was not a threat or a flight risk.
Rubashkin “remains steadfastly committed to his community both in Postville, Ia., and the larger religious Jewish community,” they said.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Peter Deegan Jr. argued in court that Rubashkin might flee if released. Lawyers will debate his status at the Wednesday hearing.
Rubashkin was charged with bank, mail and wire fraud, making false statements to a bank, money laundering, and ignoring an order to pay livestock providers in the time required by law.
A sentencing for the 50-year-old has not been set…

The Gates of Mexico were long ago stormed… it got out of hand… there’s literally 100s of 1000s of Mexicans working under the table in every state! If you’re gonna pick on peaceful family working Mexicans from a kosher slaughterhouse, it’s a shame… Target your illegal immigrants on the ones that handle with drugs, prostitution, imports of guns, all the bad things. Not the slaughter of kosher meat, for goodness sakes!!! Ribbono Shel Olam…. This demands a 1,000,000 man march on the Capitol at once!!!!!

the raid happened under Bush. The charges were under Bush. The judge was from the BA. Obama has nothing to do with it.
“Our government cannot allow employers to break the law and take advantage of cheap labor.”
ROFL!
Ok, great ,our Govt. shouldn’t allow immigrants to do the jobs that Americans dont’ want to do, and for sure not cheap, since that would mean lower prices for consumers, G-d forbid right?
Is this obamanomics or something?
Why dont’ you go round up and put in jail every person who employes illegal immigrants?
If this is not anti-Semitism, it’s obamanomics at it’s worst.
hey sis! you dont even know your alive!!!!
This whole thing is such a big mess! May Hashem bring Sholom to Sholom and his entire family.
Did he kill anyone? Did he do drugs? Did he sell drugs?
So………..They’re just a bunch of anti u know semites that found a KORBAN!!!!!!!
she says: “She commended jurors for “listening with open minds and hearts to both sides of the issue and then coming to a decision that they believed to be just” Does this lady know what is in people’s hearts and minds? Is she the latest judge of what is just? I wonder if she would speak the same way if her father was the one who was presented that verdict. The last thing I would say about the Rubashkin case is that it is just!!!!!! Sista’- Wake up and smell the coffee- or is it simply that just like those… Read more »
