Page "Deportation" Paragraph 11

In the 19th century, the federal government of the United States ( particularly during the administration of President Andrew Jackson ) deported numerous Native American tribes.

The most infamous of these deportations became known as the Trail of Tears.

American state and local authorities also practiced deportation of undesirables, criminals, union organizers, and others.

In the late 19th and early 20th century, deportation of union members and labor leaders was not uncommon during strikes or labor disputes.

For an example, see the Bisbee Deportation.
