Death Camp Guard to Be Deported
A U.S. immigration judge has ordered the deportation of a Chicago man accused of serving as an armed guard during a two-day massacre of more than 3,700 Jews in Lithuania in 1941, the Justice Department said. Under the order, Vincas Valkavickas, 78, must permanently leave the U.S. for Lithuania by June 30.
