Accused Nazi guard loses appeal on extradition to Ukraine
By Reuters
Tags: Israel, Holocaust, Treblinka 

Accused Nazi guard John Demjanjuk on Monday lost a U.S. Supreme Court appeal that sought to overturn an order by the nation's chief immigration judge that he be deported to his native Ukraine.

Without comment, the nation's high court refused to hear an appeal by the 88-year-old retired Ohio auto worker that argued the immigration judge lacked the authority to order his deportation.

The rejection of the appeal marked the latest development in a legal battle between Demjanjuk and the U.S. Justice Department that began in 1977.

Demjanjuk was once wrongly convicted of being the sadistic Nazi death camp guard "Ivan the Terrible" and sentenced to death in Israel. The Israeli Supreme Court later overturned the conviction when new evidence showed another man was probably "Ivan" at the Treblinka death camp
