An immigration judge in Miami denied bond for an alleged Nazi war criminal accused of killing thousands of Latvian Jews during World War II, saying he feared that Konrads Kalejs would “go underground again.” Kalejs, 72, will remain at a detention center pending a May 15 hearing on possible deportation. Defense attorney Ivars Verzins planned to appeal the ruling, saying Kalejs is not likely to flee because he has been in the country about 25 years. Justice Department investigator Jeffrey Mausner said Kalejs should be denied bond because he did not show up at an earlier hearing.
