Biography

Andrew Dmytryshyn was a leader of the Ukrainian American Fraternal Union, a section of the International Workers Order. His political associations became the subject of deportation proceedings, and he was held at Ellis Island after his bail was revoked.

The July 26, 1950 National Guardian reports Andrew Dmytryshyn’s initial immigration arrest and release on $5,000 bail while deportation proceedings continued. This earlier arrest-and-bail account is distinct from the later cancellation of bail and 1952 detention described in his existing case. It does not establish the exact initial custody dates or a complete duration.
