Biography
Ivan Nabagez was born in Minsk, Russia (present-day Belarus). Immigrated to the United States in 1913.
Joined the URW in Hartford, Connecticut, in August 1919. Arrested in the first Palmer Raids in November 1919, he was deported on the Buford on December 21, 1919.
The congressional digest of Buford deportation cases lists Ivan Nabagez as arrested in Hartford, Connecticut on November 24, 1919. This is the digest’s immigration-arrest entry; it does not establish an uninterrupted period of detention.
