29 December 2005 -- A U.S. federal judge has ordered the deportation of an 85-year-old native Ukrainian accused of being a guard at concentration camps during World War II.
Demjanjuk has been fighting deportation since the 1970s. He has argued that he was a prisoner of war, not a guard.
He was suspected for a time of being the notoriously brutal guard known as Ivan the Terrible and was nearly executed in Israel.
