Federal Judge Gershwin Drain is holding a status conference Tuesday. He got the case after Judge Paul Borman recused himself.
Borman recently learned that his family had a stake in a Jerusalem market that Rasmieh Odeh and others bombed in 1969, killing two men.
Odeh is associate director at the Arab American Action Network in Chicago. She’s seeking dismissal of immigration fraud charges.
Odeh is also known as Rasmea Yousef. Israel freed her after 10 years in a prisoner swap with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
lets keep swapping prisoners, looks like its working well
