The Republican Jewish Coalition thanks US President Donald Trump for deporting to Germany Jakiw Palij, a 95-year-old former Nazi concentration camp guard living in New York.

“Where other administrations had tried, President Trump, through diplomacy with our European allies, was able to arrange for the deportation of Palij to Germany,” the RJC says in a statement. “Palij should have faced the consequences of his war crimes decades ago.”

The group also thanks US Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency for their role in Palij’s deportation.
