Why the US does not deport a Nazi criminal who was deprived of 14 citizenship years ago

In 2017, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service deported 226 119 people, while among these people there was not a Nazi criminal Yakiva Palia who was deprived of US citizenship.

During the first three months of fiscal year 2018, the Service deported an additional 56 people, 710% of whom had not been convicted of any crime. In 46, ICE plans to remove 2018 people from the country. The likelihood that Yakiv Paliy, the last Nazi war criminal living in the United States, will be among them is extremely low, writes The Daily Beast.

Paly was a security guard at 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 lives in Queens.

When asked about the status of his business, Paly replied: “Forget about it!” - and hung up. During the journalists' visit, 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 based his defense on the fact that the United States was unlikely to be able to expel Paliya from the country. 14 years after his citizenship was stripped and the decision to deport him, it turned out that he was most likely right - no country wants to accept a war criminal.

He cannot be deported, but cannot be convicted in the United States. Nazi war criminals cannot be brought to criminal responsibility in the United States, in accordance with the War Crimes Act, because they committed criminal acts outside the territory of the United States, against people who were not US citizens, and the criminals themselves did not have American citizenship . Instead, such people are tried for lying in immigration documents, but such accusations do not lead to a conclusion, only to deportation, which in the case of Palia turned out to be ineffective.

Every November, on the anniversary of the Crystal Night, New York State Assembly Member Dov Heikind organizes a rally near Palia House.

“We are deporting people from this country who have lived here for 20 years, have families and have committed no crimes, but we have a Nazi living in Queens. How can this be? How is this possible?” said Khaikin, whose parents were prisoners of a Nazi concentration camp.

While the governments of Poland, Ukraine and Germany reject requests for admission of Palia, the US Congress is looking for other ways, since the American parliamentarians agree that the war criminal should not spend the last years of his life in the United States.

94-year-old Yakiv Paliy is a native of the village of Pyadiki, Kolomyia district, in the present Ivano-Frankivsk region of Ukraine. If Treblinka "specialized" in the mass extermination of the Jews of Poland, then the Travniki camp, where Paly also worked, was also an SS training base for training guards and punitive police for other camps. Graduates of this camp participated in the spring of 1943 in suppressing the uprising of the Jewish ghetto of Warsaw.

In his case file it is said that Yakiv Paly in 1943 was undergoing training at the SS Travniki camp and worked there as a security guard. In 1944, he served in the sonderkommando, which destroyed the peaceful Polish population. In the same year, Paly received a promotion, continuing to serve in the SS guard battalion until the end of the war.

Having applied for a US immigrant visa in the late 40s, he hid in his documents the facts of his service in the SS and wrote that during the war he worked on his father’s farm in a village that is now located in Ukraine. Despite the fact that American justice does not charge Yakiv Paliya with personal participation in the extermination of prisoners, the immigration judge’s ruling states that his involvement in the persecution of Jews, as well as “collaboration with the Nazi government of Germany,” has been fully proven.

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