Immigration Charges Dropped Against Agriprocessors Manager

With Postville prosecutor Stephanie Rose’s nomination to U.S. Attorney in Iowaprovoking controversy, the May 2008 Postvillle raids remain in the news.  Now, Nigel Duara of the Associated Press reports that the federal district court dismissed immigration charges against the former manager of Agriprocessors at the request of prosecutors who had already won a conviction on multiple counts of financial fraud. Prosecutors said a conviction in that case would not affect the prison term because he was convicted of the charges with the longest sentences.
