The Bisbee Deportation, finale

Meanwhile, the mine companies set up armed guards on all roads leading into Bisbee, Warren and the other towns in the area to make sure that none of the "troublemakers" returned.
Also, in the next few weeks, the mine companies, along with the various town governments, set up "kangaroo" courts to try anyone that was accused of supporting the IWW or any other union and thereby threatened the interest of the mine companies. Many of these people were also shipped out of town.
Several months after the initial deportation on July 12, United States President Woodrow Wilson established the Federal Mediation Commission to investigate the deportation and all of the related events. The commission ruled against the mine companies and in favor of the IWW and all of the workers and innocent bystanders. They then handed the case over to the state of Arizona for prosecution and the state did absolutely nothing! They took no action whatsoever against the mine company managers!
In the next few months, approximately 300 lawsiuts were filed by the deportees, but only one ever went to trial. The mine companies were found "not guilty!" Many other cases were settled out of court and the rest of them were dismissed! The mine company managers were found to be at fault by the federal government, but no action was ever taken. They got away with it!
There is a quote by IWW member Fred Watson that sums up everything perfectly. He said "How it could have happened in a civilized country I'll never know. This is the only country it could have happened in. As far as we're concerned, we're still on strike."
224 of the vigilante members were prosecuted for their crimes, however.
These seminal events are rarely talked about in the Bisbee area today because there are still alot of bad feelings involved. Even today, 92 years later, it is still a volatile situation mainly because the mine company managers were never punished for their crimes. As far as I can tell, none of the members of the various town governments were ever prosecuted for setting up the "kangaroo" courts to weed out other people who disagreed with the mine company manager's tactics.
