US Deports Last Nazi Collaborator to Germany; Jakiw Palij Was Guard at a Poland Death Camp

U.S. authorities arrested and deported to Germany today (August 21, 2018) a man they believe is the last known Nazi collaborator in the United States, according to the UPI website.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents removed Jakiw Palij, 95, from his home in New York City early today.

Palij was an armed guard at a death camp in Nazi-occupied Poland during World War II, and lied to U.S. officials about his role when he entered the U.S. after the war -- saying he worked on a farm -- Justice Department officials said.

"The United States will never be a safe haven for those who have participated in atrocities, war crimes, and human rights abuses," U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement.
