Biography
Adam Mueller was an anti-Nazi refugee formerly employed at a Jewish hospital in Brooklyn. The January 27, 1936 Daily Worker included him among people fighting deportation to Nazi Germany. It reported an illegal-entry allegation and his release from Ellis Island on $500 bond. His individual arrest, admission and release dates and final immigration outcome remain unverified.
Page 4’s asylum appeal identifies him as a former French Foreign Legion member slated for deportation June 15. This future removal date is not a confirmed departure or additional completed confinement. Source: https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/pubs/dailyworker/1936/v13-n138-NY-jun-09-1936-DW-Q.pdf
