Subject The topic of the resource Prison Political Violence Politics, Global Refugees Description An account of the resource <div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"> <div>In August 1981, an international political crisis briefly unfolded on an ordinary stretch of Grand Avenue in Englewood, New Jersey.</div> </div> <div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"> <div><br />Englewood Police responded to complaints about several men sleeping in a van with Texas license plates. When officers approached and asked for identification, the men reportedly said their papers were in an apartment upstairs. Police followed them to a small two-bedroom apartment above a gift shop. Inside, they discovered roughly sixty Iranian men crowded into the space—many sleeping wherever they could find room.</div> </div> <div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"> <div>The men identified themselves as Iranian students and political activists. They were supporters of Abolhassan Bani-Sadr, the former president of Iran who had been removed from office earlier that year after a power struggle with Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. Following Bani-Sadr’s ouster, many of his supporters fled Iran or organized opposition efforts abroad. These students had been participating in demonstrations and a hunger strike in New York, protesting the Khomeini regime and expressing solidarity with Bani-Sadr and other opposition figures.</div> </div> <div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"> <div><br />When questioned by authorities, most of the men refused to identify themselves or provide documentation until they could speak with a lawyer. Because of that refusal, federal immigration officials took them into custody and transported them to Newark for processing. Officials initially indicated that many appeared to be in the country legally, but their unwillingness to provide identification led to arrests on immigration charges.</div> </div> <div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"> <div><br />The group continued their hunger strike while in custody. Negotiations between their attorneys and immigration authorities followed, centering on bond amounts and the status of one man who faced an outstanding deportation order. When those negotiations collapsed, the students resumed fasting in anticipation of deportation hearings.</div> </div> <div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"> <div>Englewood officials later stated that the men had not broken any laws simply by staying in the apartment. The situation escalated primarily because they would not identify themselves. What began as a neighborhood complaint about men sleeping in a vehicle had quickly turned into a federal immigration matter, drawing attention to Englewood during a moment of heightened tension between the United States and post-revolutionary Iran.</div> </div> <div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"> <div><br />The episode remains a striking example of how global political upheaval—in this case the aftermath of the Iranian Revolution and the fall of Bani-Sadr—could surface in unexpected places, even in a small Bergen County city far from Tehran or Washington.</div> </div> Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Colman, David Ludder, Rachelle Crime Immigration Police Politics https://archive.englewoodmakeshistory.org/files/original/bdbb42be9ecfa1533ef15becba45c8e8.jpg bf3a47114c844e7e49a8cc2d7170c5e2 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Charles Augustus Lindbergh Kidnapping (1932) Description An account of the resource Twenty-month-old Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr. was kidnapped from his second-floor nursery room around 9:00 pm on March 1, 1932. He was discovered missing around an hour later and a police report was given. A ransom note was found demanding 50,000 dollars. On March 6th, his father Charles Lindbergh Sr. received another ransom note demanding 70,000 dollars and the Lindberghs hired Private Investigators.<br /><br />A third note was sent on March 8th requesting different intermediaries and the cash. Dr. John F. Condon, a retired educator offered to act as the intermediary, and a fourth note sent on March 9th by the kidnapper agreed to Condon acting as the intermediary. On March 10th Condon received the money and began trying to set up a meeting through newspaper columns. On March 12th an in-person meeting was set up to further discuss the ransom and proof of the child's identity. Condon received baby clothes as proof of identity on March 16th. <br /><br />An eighth note was sent on March 21st demanding fulfillment of the demands. The ninth note was sent on the 30th threatening to increase the ransom to $100,000. The tenth note was received on April 1st and told Condon to ready the money by the next night. The eleventh note was given to Condon by a taxi-man which led him to the twelfth note. $50,000 was given to a stranger and Condon was given the thirteenth note giving instructions on how to find the child. The search was unsuccessful until the body of Charles Lindbergh Jr. was found accidentally on May 12th four miles away from the Lindbergh estate. He was killed by blunt force trauma to the skull and likely died the night he was kidnapped. <br /><br />Two years later Bruno Richard Hauptmann was charged for the crime. He was found guilty and sentenced to death. He was executed on April 3, 1936. Later the Lindberg Law was passed, making kidnapping while crossing state lines a federal felony.

Title A name given to the resource Charles Lindbergh Jr. Murder Trial (1934) Subject The topic of the resource Courts, Criminal Description An account of the resource German immigrant Bruno Richard Hauptmann was charged with first-degree murder and first-degree extortion to which he pleaded not guilty on September 26th and October 8th, 1934. He was suspected of using a $10 gold certificate at a gas station that matched one of the bills given with the 50,000-dollar ransom. The trial for the kidnapping and murder of Charles Lindbergh Jr. began on January 3rd, 1935.  Charles and Anne Lindbergh testified. John F. Condon also identified Hauptmann while on the stand. During the trial, evidence was produced claiming that Hauptmann had tools matching marks at the crime scene, Condon's telephone number and address were found inside Hauptmann's house, and Hauptmann's writing matched that of the ransom notes. <br /><br />Hauptmann was found guilty on February 13th, 1935, and was executed via electric chair on April 3, 1936. Later U.S. Congress passed the Lindbergh Law which made crossing state lines while committing a kidnapping a federal felony. The trial was extremely public and covered extensively by the media.<br /><br />Decades later the case and the verdict were questioned. Numerous people who have studied the case claim that Hauptmann was innocent and that evidence was planted by the police.  In 1985 documents from the garage of Governor Harold Giles Hoffman were discovered however none of the papers have been revealed to the public. For decades, Hauptmann's wife, Anna fought to clear her husband's name.
