Read full article: US deports former Guatemalan soldier wanted in 1982 massacre, living in Boca RatonMIAMI, Fla. – A former Guatemalan sergeant who acknowledged participating in a massacre in 1982 during the country's civil war was deported Tuesday by U.S. authorities. Gilberto Jordan, 64, is the third former Guatemalan soldier to be deported to face war crime charges for that massacre, said the Immigration and Customs Enforcement in a statement. Jordan went to the U.S. illegally in 1985 and eventually settled in Boca Raton, Florida, where he worked at a country club as a cook before his arrest in 2010. The 1982 slaughter went unpunished for years — even after Guatemalan authorities issued 17 arrest warrants. The civil war from 1960 to 1996 left 200,000 people dead and 45,000 missing, a United Nations report says.
