Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the IWW union attempted to organize the miners around Bisbee, Arizona, the sheriff and hundreds of temporary deputies rounded them up at gunpoint and sent them in railroad cars into the desert more than a hundred miles away. This event became known as the "Bisbee Deportation" and is considered one of the worst labor-related human rights violations in American history.
