United States Ex Rel. Bartsch v. Watkins

The relator is held at Ellis Island for deportation as an alien excluded from admission by order of a board of special inquiry, affirmed by the Board of Immigration Appeals. The stated reasons for exclusion were three: (1) that he was an immigrant not in possession of an immigration visa; (2) that he had no passport; and (3) that he had previously been deported and had not been granted permission to reapply for admission.
