Relative deported upon arrival.

[arturo.c]

Hello everyone,

During my research about a branch of my Italian family, I found out that the husband of one of my great aunts tried to immigrate to Canada in 1923, but was deferred to a Board of Special Inquiry upon his arrival in New York, and ultimately deported.

I'd like to see whether it could be found any document explaining the reasons behind his deportation. He was 18 years old and travelled alone.

He is no. 22 on this passenger list.

Further to my previous post, I just found out on the back of the Form 30A that every traveller had to submit to the immigration authorities that my relative Mario Caponi was detained upon arrival and then subject to a Special Inquiry questioning. He was rejected entry to the US, appealed the rejection and was eventually deported back to Italy on the "Conte Verde" departing for Naples on Oct. 20th, 1923.

The reason listed for his denial of entry is "P.C. 183". Does anyone know what it means?
