The letter establishes actual administrative detention, but not his admission, release or deportation date, or total time held.
The newspaper introduces the letter as coming from arrested deportees at Ellis Island. Catalani’s printed signature appears among the named writers. Their political explanation is their collective account, rather than an independently established finding about his individual immigration case.
