"Yanish lived in California and was a Jewish activist in the Communist Party. He joined in Oakland in 1936 and persuaded his new comrades to open a storefront on East 14th despite fears that they "would be picked off like ducks." In his case it took a decade; in 1946 the DOJ declared him "a deportable alien". -- From Google Books.
"On April 11, 1946, The Pihiladelphia office of the United States Derpartment of Justice issues a warrant for my arrest. Why it was the Philadelphia office, I still don't know, since I lived in Oakland, California...I had never made a secret of my affiliation with Communist Party and the United States Supreme Court had never found the party guilty of such advocacy in any case at that time." -- prologue.
