Biography
Sotero Gonzales was a Tampa cigar worker whom the prisoners’ letter in the February 1933 Labor Defender identifies among workers actually jailed and deported amid repression of the Tampa Tobacco Worker Industrial Union. The letter reports removals to Cuba and alleges union membership was enough for immigration targeting. Its general nine-or-ten-month formulation is not an individually measured custody duration; exact arrest, departure and final outcome dates are not supplied.
