Boston, MA – The 1st Circuit upheld the deportation order for a 95-year-old Lithuanian native who has lived in the United States since 1950 and who allegedly lied on his citizenship application to conceal his part in the Nazi liquidation of the Jewish ghetto in Warsaw, Poland.

The Boston-based federal appeals court said it lacked jurisdiction to review an immigration judge’s decision to deport Vladas Zajanckauskas after his citizenship was revoked in 2005 for fraud, nearly 60 years after he first arrived in the United States.
A federal judge had determined that Zajanckauskas “had been deployed to Warsaw with a detachment of Trawniki-trained guards who participated in the Nazi liquidation of the Jewish ghetto there, and that lied about his wartime whereabouts by concealing this fact in his application for an entry visa,” according to the ruling.
The immigration judge based the removal order on these findings and on Zajanckauskas’s sworn statement that he “thinks” he would lie again in order to stay in the United States.
On appeal, Zajanckauskas argued that he is eligible for a waiver forgiving his fraud based on his age, the amount of time he has lived in the United States, his health and the large family he would be forced to leave.
The three-judge panel ruled that it lacked jurisdiction to change the removal order, because that ruling had been made at the discretion of the immigration judge.
“Absent authority to review the discretionary ground, any opinion of ours reviewing the nondiscretionary ground could not affect the final order’s validity,” the court concluded.
throw this nazi in the flames
” Zajanckauskas argued that he is eligible for a waiver forgiving his fraud based on his age, the amount of time he has lived in the United States, his health and the large family he would be forced to leave”. What chutzpah? Did any of those three things protect the Jews from this Nazi?
He doesn’t deserve any rachmones because he is old and has a large family. How many families did this monster destroy? How many children and elderly Yidden did he help send to Auschwitz?
They should shot the piece of dog
I will even volunteer to drive him to the airport – tonight!
Let’s do one better than he did for the Warsaw Jews. We’ll allow him to take his large family with him.
no matter how innocent an old man looks, sometime we have to think about his face and actions of years ago, and we would see a monster in disguise. hes a piece of filth
we should send him to aushwitz
In spite of what this monster did, there are supporters of his in the United States, including Pat Buchanan, who would like to close down the Office of Special Investigations. There is no doubt that the Government 60 years ago, knew that some of these refugees from Eastern Europe, actively assisted in the persecution of Jews, but it chose to look the other way. In other words, what the Government allegedly didn’t know, it didn’t want to know!
He didn’t care about those Yiden’s age, health or how many generations they had been living there. And regarding their families, he cared just enough to also kill them. Drive him to the airport?? Better the crematorium!
I have a better idea. This sack of dung is going to expire soon enough. The usa should deport his entire family. That will teaach them a bit of what this litvak monster did
his excuse is like the kids who killed their parents and tells the court, have pity for we are orphans….duhhhhh
get em all out of here…..yesterday !!!! and give the house and all properties to the jewish neighbors….
