On this day, 29 June 1936, 100 Chicano mineworkers, including Jesus Pallares, were deported as “undesirable aliens” following a strike in Gallup, New Mexico. Pallares had helped organise 8,000 miners into the Liga Obrera de Habla Espanola (League of Spanish-Speaking Workers). In 1935, miners in Gallup, including League members, went on strike. To break the strike, martial law was declared for six months. Hundreds of miners and their families were evicted from their homes, two miners were killed by police and many others arrested, including Pallares, dozens of people were later deported from the United States.
