It was the first time Trump has used the presidential power...Sholom Rubashkin, who ran...the country's largest kosher meat-processing company...Rubashkin's longtime attorney, Guy Cook, praised the decision, saying his client "has finally received justice." "The sentence previously imposed was unfair, unjust and essential a life sentence," he said via email. "President Trump has done what is right and just. The unrelenting efforts on Rubashkin's behalf have finally paid off."

Nobody at the top is going to go after illegal employers. It makes for too many uncomfortable encounters at the country clubs.

“Thousands of Hasidic Jews celebrating on the streets in NYC the release of #Rubashkin by President Trump I’ve never seen such excitement “what a Hanukkah gift best President ever” #NewYorkCity”

The 57-year-old father of 10 has served more than eight years of his sentence,
Yes it was in the article:
“But former prosecutor Bob Teig, who retired in 2011 after serving as a prosecutor and spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Iowa, said Trump’s decision to commute Rubashkin’s sentence “makes no sense” given Trump’s repeated promises to get tougher on illegal immigration.”
Is a Jewish guy from NYC having a goy lawyer as unusual as I think, or am I being some kind of -ist for even observing this?
Perhaps you should explain why?
The government withdrew the immigration case after Rubashkin was convicted on fraud charges, which carried a heavier sentence.
The immigration charges were dismissed “without prejudice,” which means the DOJ can still prosecute Rubashkin.
Also, in exchange for the immigration dismissal, Rubashkin agreed that “evidence of immigration violations” could be examined by the judge who sentenced him for the fraud charges.
One final note - the list of judges, politicians, and former AGs who asked that Rubashkin’s sentence be reduced reads like a Who's Who of the Hard Left and Amnesty RINOs.
Re: Why did they overlook the illegal labor violations?
They did not overlook them.

Thank you, Bodleian_Girl, for the good news and videos about the celebration! Excitement is good!

As for who was pushing for the prosecution, PETA publicized the most about the plant early on. Other groups and affiliations followed PETA’s information to get involved. Most of the groups and affiliations pushing for prosecution were left-leaning entities. To lifelong residents of Postville, Iowa, it was a long term, horrid circus of nut groups and exploiting interests administering the destruction of their community.
