Bisbee Deportation July 12, 1917

05-10-10 • Wiki

The Bisbee Deportation was the illegal deportation of about 1,300 striking mine workers, their supporters, and innocent citizen bystanders by 2,000 vigilantes on July 12, 1917. The workers and others were kidnapped in the U.S. town of Bisbee, Arizona and held at a local baseball park. They were then loaded onto cattle cars and transported 200 miles (320 km) for 16 hours through the desert without food or water. The deportees were unloaded at Hermanas, New Mexico, without money or transportation, and threatened not to return to Bisbee. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_Repatriation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Wetback http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bracero_Program http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisbee_Deportation
