Biography
Joseph Siminoff was named among newspaper workers held in civil immigration detention on Ellis Island in 1952.
The October 27, 1952 Naujienos names Joseph Siminoff among eight newspaper workers held on Ellis Island after cancellation of bail. The December Jewish Life prints the name as Joseph Simoniff, while its January issue uses Simonoff when reporting a bail order for him and three others. The reports disagree about the recommitment day; no exact admission, physical discharge or total duration is entered. A judicial bail order is not treated as proof of release. These are civil deportation proceedings, not a criminal sentence.
