A founding member of anarchist group “Los Errantes” (affiliated with the Partido Liberal Mexicano) in 1913 in Morenci, Arizona. Contributed funds to the PLM newspaper Regeneración. Arrested September 19, 1919, in Tucson. Told authorities: “I do not wish to be deported; I have committed no crime. I am obliged to work to support my family.” Deported December 3, 1919. Crossed back into the US at least twice (in October 1926 and June 1928) seemingly without incident. Subsequent activities unknown.

Arrested: Sep 19, 1919

Incarcerated: Sep 19, 1919

Released: Dec 3, 1919

In exile since: Dec 3, 1919

Sentence: Arrested on September 19, 1919 and deported on December 3, 1919. 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 (Partido Liberal Mexicano member) in the First Red Scare. Documented in Kenyon Zimmer’s Red Scare Deportees index, drawn from INS deportation files.
