Final answer:

Emma Goldman was the person who was deported from the U.S. to Lithuania for opposing the draft during World War I.

Step-by-step explanation:

The individual deported from the United States to Lithuania due to opposition to the draft during World War I was Emma Goldman. Goldman, known for her anarchist views, was deported in 1919 along with others viewed as disloyal under espionage legislation. Although the socialist presidential candidate Eugene V. Debs was imprisoned for speaking out against the draft, he was not deported. Debs was targeted under the Espionage Act and Sedition Act, which were used to suppress dissent and any perceived disloyalty in the U.S.
