Immigration raid: biggest kosher meatpacker started by Jews in 1987

Agriprocessors Inc. opened in Postville nearly 20 years ago, bringing with it a promise of jobs and a culture that changed the small, rural northeast Iowa town.
Aaron Rubashkin came from New York to open what has become the nation’s largest kosher meatpacking plant.

Shutting down production at the plant will have a significant impact on the kosher meat sales, said Menachem Lubinsky, chief executive of Luicom Marketing and editor of KosherToday.

Quite interesting to read of the abuses of the immigrant workers that went on there.
