The Bisbee Deportation occurred on July 12, 1917, when a group of striking miners and their supporters in Bisbee, Arizona, were forcibly rounded up and deported by local authorities and the Arizona Rangers. Approximately 1,300 men, primarily miners advocating for better working conditions and wages, were taken to the New Mexico desert and abandoned there. This event was part of a broader conflict between labor unions and mining companies, reflecting the tensions of the era over workers' rights and corporate power. The deportation highlighted the lengths to which authorities would go to suppress labor movements during that time.
