A member of a Nazi-sponsored unit that murdered thousands of Jews and others during the war was expelled permanently from the United States. Kazys Ciurinskas, 81, who lived in Crown Point, Ind., left the country Wednesday afternoon by plane from Chicago on his way to Lithuania, the Justice Department announced. In mid-April, an immigration judge in Chicago ordered Ciurinskas removed from this country after he admitted participating in wartime atrocities.
