United States Ex Rel. Hack v. Clark

The Attorney General of the United States has ordered the relator deported to Germany as an enemy alien whose presence here is dangerous to the public peace and safety, and he is now in the custody of Andrew Jordan, District Director of the Chicago District, the United States Department of Justice, Immigration and Naturalization Service. The relator has brought a proceeding in habeas corpus to be released from said custody, in which petition it appears that he was born in Germany on November 7, 1899, that he left the port of Hamburg, Germany on December 6, 1923 and entered the port of New York on December 20, 1923, and that he has never become a naturalized citizen of the United States. The District Court has sustained the motion of the respondent Jordan to dismiss the petition for a writ of habeas corpus, and the relator has appealed.
