Read the excerpt from Immigrant Kids by Russell Freedman.
About one immigrant out of every five or six was detained for additional examinations or questioning.
The writer Angelo Pellegrini has recalled his own family’s detention at Ellis Island:
"We lived there for three days – Mother and we five children, the youngest of whom was three years old.

And if one of us was, what would the rest of the family do?

In the end we did get through."
