Philadelphia: Former Nazi SS Guard To Be Deported After 52 Years in U.S.
by SteelePop
Even though Anton Geiser's lawyer said that the U.S. shouldn't revisit old decisions, the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court said the former concentration camp guard was being kicked out of the United States. Geiser was part of the SS death squads.
A retired steelworker who served as a Nazi guard should be deported even though the United States granted him a visa in 1956, a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday.
Anton Geiser's work as a guard meets the type of persecutory conduct banned under the Refugee Relief Act, which was in effect when he entered the U.S., the ruling said.
Geiser, 83, did not cite his Nazi ties on his visa application, but he is not accused of lying about them. Files from the period have been lost and it is not clear what questions he was asked.

PEP, I like this story. It's good stuff.
Wow....usually it's Argentina. I guess it's better late than never, but it's sad that so many lives were cut premature while many of these bastards led long fulfilling lives.
