Executive Order 1832

To punish deported persons who return to the Canal Zone.

By virtue of the authority vested in me I hereby establish the following Order for the Canal Zone:

Section 1. Any person who, after having served a sentence of imprisonment in the Canal Zone and after being deported therefrom, returns to the Canal Zone shall be deemed guilty of felony and punished by imprisonment in the penitentiary for a term of not less than six months nor more than two years, and upon the completion of his sentence he shall be removed from the Canal Zone in accordance with the laws and orders relating to deportation. An entry into the Canal Zone, for any purpose, shall be sufficient to constitute a return to the Zone within the meaning of this Order; provided, however, that in a case of necessity the Chief Executive of the Canal Zone, in his discretion, may grant a permit to any such person to return to the Canal Zone temporarily, but should he remain in the Canal Zone after the time specified in the permit he shall be deemed guilty of a violation of this Order and punished as therein provided.

Section 2. The Executive Order of May 2, 1911, providing a punishment for deported persons who return to the Canal Zone is hereby repealed.

Section 3. This Order shall take effect thirty days from and after its publication in the Canal Record.

Woodrow Wilson.
