Case

Charges: Administrative deportation under the wartime Immigration Acts — expelled as an alien radical (Communist Party USA member) in the First Red Scare.
Arrested: Jan 4, 1920
Incarcerated: Jan 4, 1920
Released: Mar 18, 1921
In exile since: Mar 18, 1921
Sentence: Arrested on January 4, 1920 and deported on March 18, 1921. The source records no release on bail or bond, so custody pending deportation is recorded from arrest to sailing; if evidence of an interim release surfaces, the span should be shortened. Charges as recorded: Administrative deportation under the wartime Immigration Acts — expelled as an alien radical (Communist Party USA member) in the First Red Scare. Documented in Kenyon Zimmer’s Red Scare Deportees index, drawn from INS deportation files.
