U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were able to successfully deport a Nazi camp guard living in Queens, New York, back to Germany for prosecution.
Jakiw Palij had been ordered deported in 2004. But the previous White House administration was not able to enact the order.
President Donald Trump, however, was.

The White House, in a statement, said this administration was making clear America would not tolerate such evil on U.S. soil.
From the office of the White House press secretary:
United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) implemented a 2004 order of deportation to the Federal Republic of Germany of Jakiw Palij, a former Nazi SS labor camp guard in German-occupied Poland and a postwar resident of Queens, New York.
President Trump commends his Administration’s comprehensive actions, especially ICE’s actions, in removing this war criminal from United States soil. Despite a court ordering his deportation in 2004, past administrations were unsuccessful in removing Palij. To protect the promise of freedom for Holocaust survivors and their families, President Trump prioritized the removal of Palij. Through extensive negotiations, President Trump and his team secured Palij’s deportation to Germany and advanced the United States’ collaborative efforts with a key European ally.
Palij had lied about being a Nazi and remained in the United States for decades. Palij’s removal sends a strong message: The United States will not tolerate those who facilitated Nazi crimes and other human rights violations, and they will not find a safe haven on American soil.
Palij, who was born in what was then Poland and is now Ukraine, immigrated to the United States in 1949 and became a United States citizen in 1957. During the United States immigration and naturalization process, he concealed his Nazi service and his participation in human rights abuses. Palij lied to United States immigration officials, saying that he had spent World War II working on a farm and in a factory.
In 2001, Palij admitted to officials at the Department of Justice that he trained in 1943 at the Nazi SS Training Camp in Trawniki, in German-occupied Poland. Court documents demonstrated that men who trained at the SS Training Camp in Trawniki participated in executing “Operation Reinhard,” a code name for the Third Reich’s plan to murder Jews in Poland. Palij also served as an armed guard at the adjacent Trawniki Labor Camp. On November 3, 1943, approximately 6,000 Jewish children, women, and men who were incarcerated at the adjacent Trawniki Labor Camp were shot to death in one of the single largest massacres of the Holocaust. By serving as an armed guard at the Trawniki Labor Camp and preventing the escape of Jewish prisoners during his Nazi service, Palij played an indispensable role in ensuring that the Trawniki Jewish victims met their horrific fate at the hands of the Nazis.
In August 2003, a federal judge revoked Palij’s United States citizenship based on his wartime activities, human rights abuses, and postwar immigration fraud. He was ordered deported in 2004, and his administrative appeal was denied in 2005.
The United States government has prioritized the identification, prosecution and deportation of Nazi war criminals since the 1970s.

He is like the Present day police in UK/Germany supporting jihadis and going after law abiding citizens to suppress any opposition to the islamonazis.
He was just following orders.
while Left/Libs pro-jihadi Merkel gang memberrs welcome jihadis and run around like cowards after they start committing gang rapes, assaults.
Here’s one such woman from Germany who was brutally murdered https://tinyurl.com/yad8pdug

“Just following orders” came to be known as the “Nuremberg defense” since so many of the Nazi war criminals on trial attempted using it. It was developed at trial that the order must be lawful, which atrocities and genocide don’t fit that description.

being a prison guard is not illegal unless someone can claim he committed any of the atrocities .
And look at Hillary she keeps committing crimes and keeps bumping off witnesses and she runs for president and almost won.

…and it was a waste of time. He should have been sent a long time ago. On account of his age and health condition there is no way he will ever be brought before the courts. They will stick him in some nursing facility where he can enjoy a comfortable life. .

The koran and hitler’s mein kamf are on the devil’s best seller list. The followers of these books will have no problem cooking the the marxist peoples of the left once muzlims achieve power. The libtards are useful idiots for the muz lim , and just a stepping stone for a global calafate. Luckily the typical snowflake has a pencil neck so chopping their heads off will be easy, swift and bloodless .

How many f’ing muslums who were fully complicit in the muslum genocides committed in E. Timor or Bangladesh are living right here in the USA? How many f’ing muslums were ever brought to justice in either of these genocides? I’ve heard exactly ONE f’ing muslum was indicted in the genocide of some 2.5 million Hindus in Bangladesh in the 1970’s and he killed 2.5 million Hindus (and raped tens of thousands of Hindu women) all by himself must be a muslum miracle in itself.

Palij should have fled to Argentina after the war as did so many other Nazi war criminals. Anyplace but here!
Having gained his citizenship in ’57, he violated both the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 and 8 US Code Section 1182 entitled “Inadmissible Aliens”.

This is great news he finally got deported but also it’s a pathetic realization this turd was able to stash himself in the USA for so long and get away with it. Our nation should definitely learn from this and not let it happen again ever in the future.
