Immigration judge rules accused Nazi can be deported

[JURIST] A federal immigration judge ruled on Monday that John Demjanjuk [Wikipedia profile], who lost his US citizenship [JURIST report] for serving as a guard at a concentration camp, can be deported. The case dates back to 1977 [Cleveland Plain Dealer report], when the Justice Department originally asked for his citizenship to be revoked. That was granted in 1981. In 1983, he was sentenced to death in Israel for war crimes, but the Israeli Supreme Court overturned the conviction in 1993 and he returned to the US. His citizenship was restored in 1998 and proceedings began against him again. Demjanjuk has until June 30 to file motions [AP report] against his deportation. Reuters has more.
