John Demjanjuk, accused of being a Nazi death camp guard, marked his 89th birthday Friday by winning a reprieve of his ordered deportation to Germany to face possible trial.

His son, John Demjanjuk Jr., said an immigration judge issued the stay of a deportation expected during the weekend.

Germany says Demjanjuk had been expected there by Monday.

Demjanjuk, a retired auto worker who lives in the Cleveland suburb of Seven Hills, kept out of sight Friday, as he has for years. He has argued that his deportation would amount to torture, given his frail health.

In a three-page signed statement, Demjanjuk asked earlier in the week for asylum in the U.S. and said deporting him "will expose me to severe physical and mental pain that clearly amount to torture under any reasonable definition of the term."

"I am physically very weak and experience severe spinal, hip and leg pain, which limits mobility and causes me to require assistance to stand up and move about," the statement said. "Spending 8 to 12 hours in an airplane seat flying to Germany would be unbearably painful for me."

Because federal law limits the definition of marriage to a man and a woman, foreign same-sex partners of U.S. citizens don't have the same route to legal permanent residence extended to heterosexual spouses. A bill in Congress would allow a U.S. citizen to sponsor a foreign same-sex partner for legal residency.
