A sheriff deputised 2,000 men who rounded up around 1,300 striking copper miners at gunpoint, loaded them into cattle cars and abandoned them in the New Mexico desert without food or water. No one was ever convicted. A federal commission called it wholly illegal but found no law that covered it.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
