On the contrary, this is a huge mitzvah, and the fact that he was taking
a risk of arrest and imprisonment makes it an even greater mitzvah.
If he were breaking shabbos in order to save lives everyone would be
applauding him, and anyone who would suggest that there was something
wrong with it would be booed down; so how can anyone have the chutzpah
to suggest that breaking USA law is a problem?  Is Congress now higher
than Hashem?!  If the circumstances justify chilul shabbos then kol
shekein that they justify and require breaking every law in the US Code.

Those who condemn this man would probably also condemn my great-uncle
Mendel Futerfas a"h, who also had quite the criminal career in order
to save yidden.

PS: The fact that he made money is irrelevant.  Doctors make much more
money, and nobody looks down on them for that.
