Here's the information regarding the deportation from Bisbee AZ. I'll try and find out more about it for you from NARA.

List of Deportees
Provided by the Bisbee Mining and Historical Museum DESCRIPTION This list begins with demographic data about deportees. The subsequent pages list names in no discernible order. Included in the information provided for each individual is nationality, whether they had taken out citizenship papers, purchased Liberty Bonds, were married, had children, were registered for the draft, owned property and had bank accounts. There are a total of 900 names on the list. This list is presented in its original format and layout.
The Bisbee Deportation of 1917 was an event specific to Arizona that influenced the labor movement throughout the United States. What started as a labor dispute between copper mining companies and their workers turned into vigilante action against the allegedly nefarious activities of the Industrial Workers of the World (I.W.W.). This site is a research-based collection of primary and secondary sources for the study of the deportation of over 1,000 striking miners from Bisbee on 12 July, 1917.
Materials include I.W.W. publications, personal recollections, newspaper articles, court records, government reports, correspondence, and journal articles that are part of the collections of three libraries: The University of Arizona Library, the Arizona Historical Society, Tucson, Arizona, and the Sharlot Hall Museum, Prescott, Arizona.
