Fighting deportation

Fighting deportation
SHARON, Pa. (AP) -- Attorneys for the government and a man accused of having served as a Nazi concentration camp guard are asking a judge to determine whether he was legally admitted to the United States. The U.S. Department of Justice wants to deport Anton Geiser, 81, of Sharon, saying he hid his membership in the battalion that guarded Sachsenhausen, a camp near Berlin where thousands were executed or died from starvation, disease and medical experiments. The government contends that Geiser's service as a guard made him ineligible to become a naturalized citizen under the Refugee Relief Act. Geiser's attorneys contend that other concentration camp guards were eligible for entry under the act. Both sides want U.S. District Court Judge David S. Cercone to rule on whether it is legal for certain concentration camp guards to be admitted to the United States under the act.
