The family of John Demjanjuk said Wednesday they still haven't heard from an immigration appeals panel on a request to block his deportation to Germany, where an arrest warrant alleges the frail 89-year-old was a Nazi death camp guard.

The matter is now before the Board of Immigration Appeals, in Falls Church, Va., which previously upheld his deportation.

John Broadley, a lawyer for Demjanjuk, is seeking to stop the deportation due to Demjanjuk's poor health. The motion argues that forcing him to travel to Germany in his condition would be torture.
