NEW YORK (November 14) - Eleven Israelis being held in Ohio jails for working illegally in the US were denied bail yesterday, said an official at the consulate-general in Philadelphia. The 11, who violated the terms of their tourist visas by working for an Israeli employer selling toys at a Cleveland mall, were arrested following a post-September 11 sweep across the US. Up to 100 other Israelis are being held on minor visa violations throughout the country, including five who were detained in New Jersey on September 11 with box-cutters and cash and subsequently found to have overstayed their visas and worked illegally.
