Biography

Anton Kusich is named with Joseph Scovio in a November 10, 1932 Daily Worker report of detention at Ellis Island and threatened deportation to fascist Italy. Irving Schwab, acting for International Labor Defense, served writs of habeas corpus on immigration officials to prevent their deportation. The source reports a legal challenge, not an accomplished release or deportation. No exact jail admission, physical discharge date or total custody duration is supplied.
