Postvile AUSA Still on Hot Seat

The Des Moines Register reports that a controversy that ImmmigrationProf previously reported on continues.  Postville, Iowa church leaders and the town’s mayor wanted U.S. Senator Tom Harkin and U.S. attorney nominee Stephanie Rose to meet with them about Rose’s role as a federal prosecutor in the cases against immigrant workers at Agriprocessors Inc. Rose’s possible nomination has been criticized by people who contend she helped lead an unfair prosecution of workers caught in the May 2008 raid.

Senator Harkin sent two aides to the meeting but Assistant U.S. Attorney Rose did not attend.
