Statement from Press Secretary (Deportation of Nazi Way Criminal)
The White House ^ | 8/21/2018 | White House Press Secretary

Posted on 08/21/2018 12:29:37 AM PDT by Cementjungle

Early this morning, 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 Administrations comprehensive actions, especially ICEs 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 Palijs deportation to Germany and advanced the United States collaborative efforts with a key European ally.

Am reasonably confident Germany did not want to take him, but PDJT is the new sheriff in town. You can’t find anyone in Germany today who will admit to having been a member of the Nazi party (though most are deceased) or in the Hitler Youth. Still, the goose stepping arrogance is just below the surface.

This fellow supposedly served at Trawniki. Apparently according to the Holocaust Museum the non-Germans who served as guards there were conscripted from Soviet prisoners of war or Ukrainian civilians.

It is a complicated story but none of the non-Germans seem to have been there voluntarily. After reading the the twisted tale of Trawniki, who knows whether this guy was culpable. It seems people caught up there did what they could to survive.

It is a fascinating read, and this small outpost alone would have been enough to condemn all Nazidom. But there were dozens and dozens of others like it, not including the more famous camps.

Read about it HERE (Holocaust Museum).

You can find plenty in the US. They don't know Nazis were anti-Jew, because schools didn't tell them that... but the sentiment is here. The term "Jew" is synonymous with "rich right-wing corporate rich person"... which is any business owner/leader.

Fortunately, only about 1/4 of liberals are currently that stupid. That estimate is subject to change of course... so stay tuned.

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.

Wow, and he's still alive? How could you live so swimmingly for over 70 years with that kind of blood on your hands?

The Nazi collaborator George Soros should be next. Hungary would probably hang him.

thanks for that article.

In case anyone was wondering, yes, naturalized citizens can have their citizenship revoked. From the article: Palij’s American citizenship has already been revoked

One can hope... except he has been wise enough to buy off most of those leaders.

a 2004 order of deportation to the Federal Republic of Germany

That's why.

Before Trump took control they simply refused to take hm.

I remember before the election when he said there would be consequences to countries that refused to take back their deported citizens.

This sentence from the press release says it all:
"Through extensive negotiations, President Trump and his team secured Palijs deportation to Germany "

MORE WINNING WITH THE BEST PRESIDENT EVER!

Now if he’ll just deport George Soros, well he was just here a minute ago.

Liberals accuse Trump of being a Nazi. Meanwhile, Trump removes Nazis.

BTW, a Nazi whose location was KNOWN by Team Obama for 8 years and who was allowed to stay.

Having read most of the details, there should have been NO REASONABLE REASON it took so long to “eject” the Nazi from within our borders. He was ruled guilty several years ago, ordered deported yet remained in America. Once again, our government at work both then and now. Thanks goes to Trump, but how many more still roam freely claiming American citizenship? Wait ‘till they get around to the illegal Hispanic border jumpers. That will take many years.
