TOKYO (AP) — The star of an Oscar-winning documentary that shows how dolphins are hunted in a Japanese village was deported to the U.S. on Friday after Tokyo airport officials barred his entry and he was held in detention for more than two weeks. Ric O'Barry said he was determined to come back to Japan and keep fighting to save the dolphins, working with Japanese people. Japan's government rejected an appeal of a decision by immigration officials to deny O'Barry entry, according to his lawyer, Takashi Takano. O'Barry, 76, had been held in a detention facility at Tokyo's Narita airport since he landed on Jan.
