Trump Commutes Sentence of illegal alien employer convicted of bank fraud
William Gheen's statement on this news....
It is disappointing to learn President Trump is giving a form of Amnesty to employers like Rubashkin who was arrested for fraud and knowingly hiring large numbers of illegal immigrants. This clemency reeks of the same abuse of power Obama exercised on immigration matters and contradicts Trump's campaign promises enforce our existing immigration laws just like his disappointing decision to pursue DACA Amnesty for millions of illegals. Giving millions of illegal aliens and an unscrupulous employer like Rubashkin executive level Amnesty from their crimes is not what Americans voted for in 2016 and makes Trump's campaign promises a type of fraud!

President Donald Trump on Wednesday commuted the prison sentence of former Iowa slaughterhouse executive Sholom Rubashkin, who was sentenced to 27 years for bank fraud and money laundering, the White House said.
In a statement, the White House said the decision, which is not a presidential pardon, had bipartisan support from leaders across the political spectrum, such as House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-California) and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah). Trump's action does not vacate Rubashkin’s conviction and leaves his term of supervised release and a restitution obligation, the White House said.
Rubashkin, a 57-year-old father of 10 children, oversaw operations at Agriprocessors, a large kosher meatpacking plant owned by his father in the northern Iowa town of Postville. The plant was raided by agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in May 2008, leading to the arrests of nearly 400 Mexican and Guatemalan immigrants who were living and working in the country without authorization.

WHAT PROSECUTORS SAID:Rubashkin was not railroaded
REGISTER EDITORIAL:We need answers on prosecutors' conduct
The raid sparked a chain of events, including Agriprocessors declaring bankruptcy, that led investigators to suspicious invoices and other sales records that Rubashkin faked to make the company appear on better financial footing. Prosecutors accused Rubashkin of using the fake paperwork to continue borrowing on a $35 million line of credit, ultimately resulting in a $27 million loss for a St. Louis-based bank when Agriprocessors went defunct.
Rubashkin was convicted in 2009 and sentenced to 27 years in prison. He has served more than eight years of that sentence.
One of Rubashkin's attorneys, Montgomery Brown, said Rubashkin was released Wednesday from the Federal Correctional Institution in Otisville in New York. His wife picked him up, Brown said Rubashkin's son told him. Rubashkin's family could not be reached for comment Wednesday night.
Another one of Rubashkin's attorney, Guy Cook, praised Trump's commutation, the president's first in office. Cook said Rubashkin “finally received justice" and called the commutation tremendous news for the Rubashkin family, who live Borough Park, a neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

And the chinese criminal can stay....
Donald Trump decided not to deport fugitive accused of rape 'after learning he is a Mar-a-Lago member'
'We need to get this criminal out of the country' President allegedly said before changing mind

Donald Trump reportedly changed his mind about deporting a Chinese fugitive accused of rape after learning he was a paying member of his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
Guo Wengui, a billionaire real-estate developer, fled China in 2014 after learning he was about to be arrested on charges of rape, bribery and kidnapping, allegations he denies.
At a meeting to discuss foreign policy with China in June, Mr Trump told aides he knew of at least one "Chinese criminal" the US needed to deport immediately, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The President then produced a letter from the Chinese government calling for the extradition of Mr Guo, delivered to him by Steve Wynn, a casino magnate with business interests in the Chinese casino city Macau.
"Where's that letter Steve brought?" the President is said to have asked his secretary. "We need to get this criminal out of the country."
A spokesperson for Mr Wynn told the Wall Street Journal its reporting was false, but did not offer further comment.
The paper said Mr Trump's aides managed to talk him out of the decision and he changed his mind after being told Mr Guo is a member of his Mar-a-Lago resort.
The aides later worked to ensure the deportation would not go ahead.
Since fleeing China, Mr Guo has made allegations of Chinese government corruption, without providing evidence.
Officials from China's ministry of state security visited Mr Guo at his New York apartment in may, using veiled threats in an attempt to stop him tweeting his accusations and return to China.
As the officials had entered the US on visas that did not allow them to conduct official business, they were confronted by FBI agents and told to leave the country.
However, two days later they visited Mr Guo again ahead of a planned to leave for China. FBI agents were poised to arrest them at John F Kennedy airport, but the State Department declined to give the go-ahead for the move over fears it could trigger a diplomatic crisis.
Mr Trump is not obliged to hand fugitives over to China as there is no extradition treaty between China and the US.
