Biography

Michael ('Mike') Daniels was a Greek-born co-editor of the left-wing Greek Tribune. In May 1959, though mentally ill, he was seized from a rest home and flown toward deportation as an alien member of the Communist Party; the removal was challenged.

Case

Charges: Deportation (Walter-McCarran Act) — as an alleged alien Communist Party member
Arrested: May 26, 1959
Incarcerated: May 26, 1959
Sentence: Held for deportation; removal fought. Immigration agents took him from the De Mar Rest Home on May 26, 1959 and flew him to New York, where he was detained for several days pending deportation arrangements. Following intervention by his lawyer and the Los Angeles Committee for Protection of Foreign Born, immigration agents returned him to Los Angeles and escorted him back to the rest home before this June 22, 1959 report. The exact discharge date is not given. The earlier rest-home residence is not counted as immigration detention.
