Judge OKs Deportation of Former Nazi Guard
From Times Wire Reports
A federal judge ruled that John Demjanjuk, 85, a Ukrainian immigrant and retired auto worker, can be deported from the United States because he served as an armed guard at several Nazi camps during World War II, the Justice Department said.
Chief U.S. Immigration Judge Michael Creppy ruled that Demjanjuk was removable from the U.S. as a foreigner who participated in Nazi-sponsored persecution on the basis of race, religion, national origin or political opinion. Creppy has not decided where Demjanjuk will be sent.
