U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had ordered Adam Crapser deported because of criminal convictions, including assault and being a felon in posses- sion of a weapon. His life story highlights the failings of an adoption system that put him in the homes of one set of parents who aban- doned him and another that physically abused him and other adopted children, his Seattle attorney, Lori Walls, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. ICE spokeswoman Rose Richeson told AP in an email that the 41-year-old Crapser arrived in Seoul, South Korea, on Thursday morning aboard a commercial airline flight escorted by ICE deportation officers. Richeson said Crapser was arrested by ICE on Feb. 8 after serving a 60-day sentence for menacing consti- tuting domestic violence and attempted coercion. He had been held in an immigration detention center in Tacoma, Washington since then. A judge could have allowed Crapser to stay in America but decided on deportation. Crapser’s supporters said he waived an appeal because he couldn’t stand to stay in the detention center any longer. AP Photo/Gosia Wozniacka, File Walls said she is aston- ished that the fact that Crapser “was adopted, abandoned and abused, facilitated by the U.S. government and the state of Oregon ... carried relatively little weight in the decision that the immigration court made.” “The U.S. government facilitated the adoption out of Korea,” she said. “No one followed up to make sure he was safe. When that first family abandoned him to foster care he was not visible — there was no follow-up.” No one ever sought U.S. citizenship for him. He and his older sister were adopted by a family who lived in Michigan and who later aban- doned them after they moved to Oregon, Walls said. Brother and sister were split up. Crapser was even- tually adopted by parents in Oregon who assaulted him and other children in their Live Music 9:00 PM FRIDAY, NOV. 18 Elwood 8 S . E .

Crapser eventually left the home and was arrested after he broke in to retrieve some of his belongings from his orphanage in South Korea, Walls said. Crapser later got into further trouble with the law. He came under the scrutiny of federal immigration author- ities after he applied for a Green Card and they saw his criminal record. “I’m hopeful Adam figures out how to make a life in that country, where he doesn’t speak the language read the language or know anything about the culture,” Walls said. 10s rain 20s flurries 30s 40s snow ice 50s 60s cold front 70s 80s 90s 100s warm front stationary front 110s high low National Summary: A potent storm will cross the Midwest with blizzard conditions in parts of Nebraska, the Dakotas and Minnesota today.

Walls noted that the mother is disabled, has a low income “and can’t be much help for him.” “I spoke with Adam a couple of days ago,” Walls said. “He was trying to stay positive, but I mean it was clear talking to him that he was scared. He’s going to a country where he can’t even read the street signs.” Walls said there might be legal remedies for Crapser to return to the U.S. but that it would be “an uphill battle.” Classified & Legal Advertising 1-800-962-2819 or 541-278-2678 classifieds@eastoregonian.com or legals@eastoregonian.com NEWS • To submit news tips and press releases: • call 541-966-0818 • fax 541-276-8314 • email news@eastoregonian.com • To submit community events, calendar items and Your EO News: email community@eastoregonian.com or call Tammy Malgesini at 541-564-4539 or Renee Struthers in at 541-966-0818. • To submit engagements, weddings and anniversaries: email rstruthers@eastoregonian.com or visit www.eastoregonian. com/community/announcements • To submit a Letter to the Editor: mail to Managing Editor Daniel Wattenburger, 211 S.E.

(AP) — A survey of workers on the Hanford Nuclear Reservation found that most were satisfied by the actions of management to address risks posed by chemical vapors escaping from radioactive waste storage tanks. However, some workers also felt that improved communication could help alleviate continuing fear of retaliation by management over reporting health issues and better inform workers about the status of protec- tion improvements. “In our view, improving these areas is critical to ensuring that actions taken to resolve the recommen- dations for improvement are transparent to members of the workforce and other interested parties,” according to the report issued Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Inspector General. The Tri-City Herald reported that seven of 52 workers interviewed for the report were worried about possible retaliation related to complaining about health issues from exposure to the vapors. Chemical vapors associated with Hanford nuclear waste held in underground tanks have been blamed for symptoms such as shortness of breath and nosebleeds and may cause serious neurological and respiratory illnesses. Hundreds of workers have reported symptoms over the years. The waste is left from the production of plutonium for nuclear weapons. Most workers felt they were free to express their concerns with management on vapor risk, the report said. Of the seven workers who felt differently, one had filed a formal complaint earlier this year over concerns related to retaliation. Other workers reported that they thought managers would ignore concerns or that filing a worker compensation claim would put a worker “in a bad position,” according to the report.
