Israeli immigration official: American fugitive leaves Israel, believed deported

American fugitive deported from Israel to US

JERUSALEM — An Israeli immigration official says an American fugitive has left Israel and returned to the United States.

It is believed that white supremacist Micky Louis Mayon of Steelton, Pennsylvania, was deported, but the immigration official would only confirm that he left Israel. The official did not give his name or explain why he did not want to be identified.

Earlier this month, Israeli authorities said they found Mayon hiding in Tel Aviv after a tip-off from Interpol. They said he is wanted for a series of violent crimes in the U.S. and intended to deport him.

A Web site of the U.S. TV program America’s Most Wanted identifies a fugitive of that name as being a white supremacist from Steelton, Pennsylvania. The site says he fled to Israel in 2007.
