Answer
Deported to Russia in 1919 upon their release from prison, Russian-born Alexander Berkman and his partner, Lithuanian-American Emma Goldman, were among a group of radicals deemed a threat to U.S. national security. The U.S. government's fear of leftist influence, particularly during turbulent periods like the post-World War I era of labor strikes and anarchist bombings, led to their expulsion.
