A former poultry production manager at a kosher slaughterhouse in Postville has been arrested in Israel, where prosecutors say he fled after federal agents arrested 389 illegal immigrants at the Agriprocessors meatpacking plant in the city. The United States Attorney’s Office in Cedar Rapids said prosecutors would seek the return of the man, Hosam Amara, 46, so that he could face charges of harboring illegal immigrants. Israeli authorities acting on an American extradition request arrested Mr. Amara on March 31.
