Alleged Nazi Labor Camp Guard Deported To Germany
"U.S. officials say a 95-year-old former Nazi labor camp guard named Jakiw Palij
who lied about his wartime work when he immigrated to the United States has been deported to Germany."
"Palij, who lived in Queens in New York City, was investigated and denaturalized more than a decade ago. His deportation was ordered in 2004. But for years, no country would take him in."
"On Monday, he was sent to Germany, according to the State Department. The Department of Justice says Palij is the 68th Nazi removed from the U.S."
"Palij has previously denied that he worked at a camp, and maintained that he served as a Nazi guard only because his family was threatened."
"In a statement, the White House praised the work of administration agencies, particularly Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, in deporting Palij."
