Orlando Sentinel: Sanford grandfather, born in refugee camp, nabbed by ICE after 70 years in U.S.

"...Paul John Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a German refugee camp a year after World War II ended. His family legally emigrated to the United States in 1952 when he was five.

More than seven decades later, the 79-year-old Sanford grandfather – still a man without a country – found himself in legal limbo in the Alligator Alcatraz detention camp in the Everglades, picked up on a decades-old deportation order authorities had previously chosen not to enforce...."

From the article:

"...Prior to his incarceration he was able to walk on his own without assistance, but he is now using a wheelchair, Adams said. He has had three back surgeries for which he’s under continued medical care and was scheduled for a spinal procedure on Thursday, which he missed because of the detention. He has also been unable to get his regular medications.

Friday morning, he called to say he has bruises from the guards, Adams said.

“He fell out of his wheelchair and they left him on the cell floor for hours.” she said.

He told his family the detainees rarely get hot meals, a complaint shared by others held at Alligator Alcatraz...."
