The Bisbee Deportation occurred on July 12, 1917, when law enforcement and mining company officials forcibly removed around 1,200 striking miners and their supporters from Bisbee, Arizona, and deported them to the New Mexico desert. This action was part of a broader conflict between labor unions and mining companies during a time of heightened tension over workers' rights and working conditions. The deportees were held without due process, leading to significant public outcry and legal repercussions for those involved. The event is often cited as a significant example of the struggle for labor rights in the United States.
