Immigration raid could limit supply of Kosher meat
A huge immigration raid last week on the country’s largest kosher slaughterhouse could have a substantial impact on the thousands of Jews who follow Jewish dietary laws, as well as on non-Jews who purchase kosher meat, the Washington Post reported Thursday.
The raid occurred last week at Agriprocessors Inc., a meat packing plant in Postville, Iowa. Nearly 400 workers were arrested on immigration violations and criminal charges. It is the latest in a string of enforcement operations around the country.
The raids have been controversial leading Hispanic lawmakers on Capitol Hill to denounce what they called “inhumane” tactics by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE.
ICE has denied such accusations.

Agriprocessors had given a substantial amount towards GOP canidates and campaigns inculding the Lt. Governor. Since the raids the other shoe has yet to drop to press criminal charges on the employers.
They’ll most likely get a tax write-off for loss revenues.
BTW: Iowa’s unemployment rate is 3.5%
