Biography

David Nordloff was arrested at Seattle on May 22, 1918 in immigration proceedings alleging advocacy or teaching of unlawful destruction of property. Federal file 54379/451 records an order for deportation to Sweden at government expense on June 6, 1919, followed by his actual voluntary departure with his family on June 12, 1919. The order and completed voluntary departure are distinct events. The summary does not establish whether he remained continuously confined until departure or identify the exact day he physically left custody; his complete actual custody duration is therefore unknown.
