Biography

William O’Neill was a Canadian resident detained in the United States in proceedings involving assistance to Irish nationalists crossing the border.

Month-precision release corrected

The primary habeas opinion individually names O'Neill, and the contemporary materials reproduced in the labour-board record identify his actual return to Canada. Exact release day and identifiable reusable portrait remain unresolved. Private family details and identifiers excluded.

Case

Charges: Immigration detention and conspiracy to bring aliens unlawfully into the United States
Arrested: Feb 6, 1982
Sentenced: Mar 28, 1983
Incarcerated: Feb 6, 1982
Released: February 1982
Sentence: Actual return to Canada on bail occurred in February 1982 MONTH. February 19 is an earliest-bound placeholder, not proof of release on that date; the primary February 19 opinion still describes custody. Its ordered future bond hearing does not establish actual discharge. The later time-served sentencing is not continuous detention through March 1983.
