Case

Arrested: November 1919
Incarcerated: November 1919
Released: Mar 18, 1921
In exile since: Mar 18, 1921
Sentence: Arrested in November 1919 and deported on March 18, 1921. The source records no release on bail or bond, so custody pending deportation is recorded from arrest to sailing; if evidence of an interim release surfaces, the span should be shortened.
