On this day in 1985, the FBI arrested Jonathan Jay Pollard, a civilian U.S. Navy intelligence analyst, after he and his wife, Anne, sought to gain asylum at the Israeli Embassy but were rebuffed by Israeli security guards.
Federal prosecutors charged Pollard with passing classified U.S. information about Arab nations to Israel. He avoided a trial by pleading guilty in return for a promise of leniency for him and his wife. Nevertheless, U.S. District Judge Aubrey Robinson Jr., who was not obligated to follow the prosecutors’ leniency recommendation, imposed a life sentence after having read a 46-page “damage-assessment memorandum” from Caspar Weinberger, the secretary of Defense.
Pollard began serving his life sentence in 1987. His wife was sentenced to five years in prison but was paroled after 3½ years because of health problems and emigrated to Israel. Pollard, believing he would be jail for the rest of his life, divorced her. (He has since remarried.)
In 1995, Israel awarded Pollard citizenship. Top Israeli officials have repeatedly asserted that Pollard had received a stiffer sentence than other people who were found to have been passed secret information to friendly nations. He remains the sole person to ever have received a life sentence for spying on the United States on behalf of an American ally.
Over the years, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as other Israeli officials, have urged successive U.S. presidents to allow Pollard to resettle in Israel — so far to no avail.
Pollard was paroled on Nov. 20, 2015, after having served out his sentence at the Butner Federal Correction Complex in North Carolina.
After his release, Pollard moved to an apartment in New York City. He remains under a 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. curfew. On Aug. 12, 2016, a federal judge denied Pollard’s request to ease the terms of his parole, basing the ruling on a statement from James Clapper, the director of U.S. National Intelligence, asserting that much of the information stolen by Pollard in the 1980s remained secret. The judge also cited Pollard’s Israeli citizenship, obtained during his incarceration, as evidence that he was indeed a flight risk and so must continue to wear a GPS monitor.
In March 2017, Pollard’s attorneys petitioned the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit to reverse the decision denying his request for more lenient parole restrictions. They argued that the prohibition against leaving his residence between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. forced him to violate Shabbat and Jewish holidays, and that surveillance of his computers prevented him from working at a job consistent with his education and intelligence. They further asserted that Pollard could not possibly remember information he saw before his arrest, and in any case, the parole conditions arbitrarily limited his computer usage.
In May 2017, the court rejected the appeal, ruling that the parole conditions minimized the risk of harm that he continued to pose to U.S. intelligence.
