Immigration officials ruled that anti-Castro militant Orlando Bosch, 61, is a danger to the community and ordered him deported. Bosch, a hero to many in Miami’s Cuban exile community, served a sentence for a 1968 rocket attack on a Polish freighter in Miami, and was held 11 years in Venezuelan prisons on an unproven accusation he bombed a Cuban jetliner in 1976, killing 73 people. Bosch’s attorneys are seeking a stay of the deportation. A hearing is scheduled Friday. The expulsion also must be reviewed by a regional Immigration and Naturalization Service commissioner in Dallas. INS officials received custody of Bosch on Monday from federal parole officials, who had held him since his arrival from Venezuela in February.
