I was shocked that there was not a single book by Emma Goldman in my local public library.

So I looked her up, and came across this 1919 work I hadn't seen before.

DEPORTATION - Its Meaning and Menace

It seems deportation without due process to gulags overseas is as American as apple pie.

@mzedp - well once you realize the very real interest in eugenics and the Nazi Party in the US between the wars, this really isn’t all that surprising.

If I remember correctly from Goldman's autobiography Living My Life, the US government went to the ridiculous length of revoking the citizenship of Goldman's dead husband, so that they could then revoke her citizenship, so they could deport her to Russia.
