Trump prosecutes ex-Nazi camp guard, something undone by Obama; liberals protest.

Why didn't Obama's administration do this?

"The last known Nazi collaborator living in the U.S. was deported to Germany following a personal intervention by President Trump, U.S. officials said, ending years of legal and diplomatic wrangling between Washington and Berlin. 
"Jakiw Palij, a former member of the SS in German-occupied Poland and a postwar resident of Queens, N.Y., arrived in Germany on Tuesday morning on a U.S. government flight. He was the last of nine Nazi collaborators under deportation orders in the U.S., eight of whom have died in the last decade. 
"Berlin had long resisted receiving Mr. Palij, now 95 years old, because he wasn’t a German citizen and hadn’t been charged with any crime in Germany. Even now, experts said it was highly unlikely that he would face prosecution. 
"U.S. ambassador Richard A. Grenell took up the issue after his appointment this year during meetings with officials and key advisers to Chancellor Angela Merkel. 
“ 'The president told me directly to make it a priority to get the Nazi out,” Mr. Grenell said, adding that Mr. Trump, himself a native of Queens, had known about the case because of its prominence in the local press. Mr. Grenell later told reporters he had “made it a point” to raise the matter in every meeting he took with German officials.
" Eli Rosenbaum, the director of human rights enforcement strategy and policy at the Justice Department’s Human Rights and Special Prosecutions Section*, told reporters that Mr. Palij’s deportation would serve “as a warning to the would-be perpetrators of future human rights crimes that the civilized world will never cease pursuing them.' ” . . .
*Under President Trump and Secretary Sessions, might I add?

Pundits accuse Trump of showboating Nazi’s deportation  "In the Trump era, even the deportation of Nazis can’t bring Americans together."

Trawniki concentration camp  . . . "There were 12,000 Jews imprisoned at Trawniki as of 1943 sorting through trainsets of clothing delivered from Holocaust locations. They were all massacred during Operation Harvest Festival of November 3, 1943 by the auxiliary units of Trawniki men stationed at the same location, helped by the travelling Reserve Police Battalion 101 from Orpo. The first camp commandant was Hermann Hoefle, replaced by Karl Streibel." . . .

Himmler greets Trawniki guards  Could Mr. Palij be in this photo?

"This 1942 photo provided by the the public prosecutor's office in Hamburg via the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, shows Heinrich Himmler, center left, shaking hands with new guard recruits at the Trawniki concentration camp in Nazi occupied Poland. Trawniki is the same camp, where some time after this photo was made, Jakiw Palij trained and served as a guard. " . . .
