Justice Department officials say that Paly served in armed guards in a death camp in Nazi-occupied Poland, and later lied to US immigration officials about his role in these crimes when he arrived in the US after the war.

Now Palia is 95 years old. He lived in New York and moved in a wheelchair. The video published by the channel shows how the border guards carried him out of the house on a stretcher and took him away in an ambulance.

The decision handed down by an immigration judge said Paly should be deported "to Germany, Poland, Ukraine or any other country that will accept him."

For a long time, the German authorities themselves did not want to accept Palia, but in the end he was deported to Germany.

The administration issued a statement after Pia was deported to Germany on Tuesday:

“President Trump commends his Administration for its comprehensive actions, especially those of ICE, in removing this war criminal from the United States,” the statement said. — Despite the fact that the court ordered his deportation back in 2004, the previous administration did not deport Paliya. To protect the promise of freedom to Holocaust victims and their families, President Trump has prioritized Paly's removal. "President Trump and his team orchestrated Paliya's deportation to Germany through negotiations and strengthened joint ties with a key European partner."

Recall that Paly was a guard in a concentration camp in occupied Poland. He immigrated to the United States in 1949, indicating false information in documents: he noted that he was a farmer during the war, without mentioning collaboration with the Nazis. Paly received US citizenship in 1957.

In 2001, the Department of Justice launched an investigation into its activities during the war. The decision to deport him from the United States was made in 2004, at the same time he was deprived of his citizenship, but Germany, Poland and Ukraine refused to accept the offender, where they tried to deport him, so the man still lived in Queens.

When asked about the status of his business, Paly answered: “Forget about it!”, - and hung up. During the visit of journalists, the man did not open the door for them.

The authorities estimate that around 925 thousands of Jews were killed in the Treblinka camp in Poland. Paly worked there in 1943.

In the documents discovered by the Department of Justice, it is stated that Paly took part in the liquidation of the Warsaw ghetto in 1943, the man himself denies it, while during interrogation he admitted that he was a guard in Treblinka.

During the trial, his lawyer built a defense on the fact that the States are unlikely to send Palia out of the country. After 14 years after depriving him of his citizenship and deciding on deportation, it turned out that he most likely was right - no country wanted to accept a war criminal.

Since 1979, more than 60 people have been deprived of American citizenship for such crimes, most of whom were deported from the US.
