Biography
David Hyun was a Korean-American architect held without bail on Terminal Island from the McCarran Act midnight raids of October 1950, one of four Los Angeles detainees fought over in a long bail battle that reached the Supreme Court. He faced deportation for his radical and labor associations.
The May 2, 1951 National Guardian reported that the Ninth Circuit had twice declined to reverse the denial of bail to David Hyun and three other Terminal Island detainees, and that their case had reached the U.S. Supreme Court. This describes the bail proceedings, not a new detention or a physical release. National Guardian, May 2, 1951, p. 6.
