New Bureau to Open in Marquette for Naturalization Work
A new federal Bureau of Naturalization and Immigration will establish a Marquette office as a Detroit branch within a wider bureau system under the commerce and labor department. Frederik S. Becker of the Detroit Justice Department will likely head the Marquette office, with centralized supervision over the Upper Peninsula. The bureau, created by a 1906 act, enforces federal naturalization and immigration laws and conducts examinations, often appearing at applicants’ homes to compel testimony and present results to courts.
