Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, the son of an Israeli, took credit for convincing President Bill Clinton not to release from prison Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard.
Pollard was paroled from prison in November 2015, after serving 30 years of a life sentence for spying for an ally. Former spy says "I just want to go home.'

Current conditions require Pollard to wear a GPS monitoring device that forces him to violate the Sabbath.
