Certificate of Residence for a Chinese Person in the United States
This is copy of a Certificate of Residence issued to Ah Jeung in 1894 in Portland, Oregon. Years later, Jeung traveled to Arizona and was arrested for not being in possession of any proof of legal U.S. residency. Although this copy was sent to the District Courts in Arizona Territory and Jeung testified that he had lived continuously in the United States for about 25 years, he was still found to have been in the United States unlawfully. On May 5, 1906, a judge presiding over the First Judicial District in Arizona ordered that Jeung be deported. These Records are held at the National Archives at Riverside.
Observing Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month
To pay tribute to the many generations of Asian-Pacific Americans that have enriched our nation’s history, the National Archives at Riverside will be highlighting some of our holdings relating to Asian American history in our region (Southern California, Arizona, and Clark County, NV), including records relating to enforcement of the Chinese Exclusion Act, records relating to Japanese internment and relocation, and many more.
For more information about Asian-Pacific Heritage Month, see http://asianpacificheritage.gov/

In Arizona, no less. This immigration thing might possibly be an APIA issue too.
