The Palmer Raids were a series of government actions conducted in the United States in 1919 and 1920, aimed at arresting and deporting radical leftists, particularly anarchists and communists, in the wake of the Russian Revolution and rising fears of domestic extremism. Led by Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, these raids often involved unlawful searches and mass arrests, targeting immigrants and labor activists without sufficient evidence. The raids sparked significant controversy and criticism for their violation of civil liberties and due process rights. Ultimately, they exemplified the broader Red Scare climate of fear and repression during that period.
