In July 1917, the copper town of Bisbee, Arizona made national headlines—for all the wrong reasons.

Over 1,000 striking miners were rounded up by a posse of local citizens, forced onto cattle cars, and dumped in the New Mexico desert… with no food, water, or charges.

It was one of the most shocking violations of civil liberties in U.S. history.

This is the true story of The Bisbee Deportation—told in under 3 minutes.
