The Anti-Defamation League asked the U.S. attorney general Michael Mukasey on Dec. 24 to ensure that Israel's Law of Return is not used to deny bail to Jewish defendants. In a letter to Mukasey, an Orthodox Jew, ADL National Director Abraham Foxman took note of a federal magistrate judge's recent denial of bail to the former manager of the Agriprocessors kosher meatpacking plant. The judge, Jon Scoles, ruled that Rubashkin posed a risk of flight and de- clined to release him on bail, pointing to evidence that he had a travel bag with cash and travel documents on hand at the time of his arrest.
