John Demjanjuk will now have to leave the country, after having his citizen stripped in 1986, restored in 1998, and stripped again in 2002:

“In 2006, the Board of Immigration Appeals upheld the order stating that his past as a Nazi guard has been ‘conclusively established.’


ItÂ’s still not clear though where Demjanjuk will be deported to or, indeed, if any country is willing to take him.


However, following the Supreme CourtÂ’s action on Monday, the Justice Department said that all legal avenues were now closed to Demjanjuk and that the US government remained committed to deporting him.”

Former Ford auto worker Demjanjuk — accused of serving at the Sobibor and Majdanek death camps — was ordered deported to his native Ukraine, but the U.S. said either Germany or Poland could take him, as well. But, according to Reuters:

“…It appears that no country is willing to take Demjanjuk, either by granting him a visa or to prosecute him for war crimes, according to a former prosecutor in the case.


‘I haven’t heard any indication that any country … is willing to accept a war criminal of John Demjanjuk’s notoriety,’ Jonathan Drimmer, who is now in private practice, said in a telephone interview.


‘He will remain free, pending whatever removal occurs,’ Drimmer said. ‘At this point, any country can accept him.’”
