Why are they letting the Nazis get away with it? This is the second time this evil scum-bag has gotten away with it. And I read about another one being let go after being extradited. All those Nazis involved with the extermination of Jews should be exterminated.

John Demjanjuk's deportation stayed by federal court
The retired auto worker, 89, who is accused of being a Nazi death camp guard during World War II, was taken from his suburban Cleveland home today by federal agents. Then the court intervened.

John Demjanjuk, the 89-year-old Ohio man accused of being a former guard in a Nazi death camp, was removed from his home today and taken into federal custody before a federal appeals court delayed his deportation to Germany.
Demjanjuk was taken from his suburban Cleveland house in a wheelchair, according to video from the scene. Relatives and medical personnel surrounded him as he was placed in a white van by federal agents. Then he was driven through the Cleveland streets to a federal facility to await being placed on an airplane to Germany, where he would have faced charges in connection with the deaths of 29,000 people in a Nazi death camp in Poland during World War II.
Before he could be deported, though, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted a stay in the deportation order, the latest step in the case that has roiled the Jewish community for decades.
His family has argued that he was too old and frail to be deported and has maintained that he was not a Nazi guard. But critics have rejected those claims.
"We are delighted to hear" that Demjanjuk will deported, Rabbi Marvin Hier, founder of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles, said before the stay was issued.
"Every day they [prison guards] helped murder innocent civilians and cut off their possibility of life," Hier said. "For 50 years in the U.S. he lived in virtual freedom. He showed no compassion, no human feelings. I wish he would have let his victims live to 89 years of age. We are absolutely elated that justice has finally caught up with him."
Demjanjuk, a retired auto worker, has repeatedly denied that he was a prison guard, despite accusations that he was known as "Ivan the terrible" in Treblinka during World War II. An Israeli court convicted him in 1988 of war crimes, but that conviction was overturned by the Israeli Supreme Court.
In 2002, his U.S. citizenship was revoked by a U.S. court on the grounds that he had lied to immigration officials. The Justice Department maintained that Demjanjuk had hid his service at Sobibor and other Nazi-run death and forced-labor camps. An immigration judge ruled in 2005 he could be deported to Germany, Poland or Ukraine.
The family had sought a stay at the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals after previous appeals to stay had been rejected.

It is a shame.

Maybe Obama is considering Demajuk for a cabinet position...

Serb,
I agree the wheelchair deal was a sympathy stunt.
I saw an interview last year with him and I have to admit that he was looking very fit for a man his age and there was no wheelchair in sight.

I have seen lots of movies, where criminals do this trick.
